Happy new year billytea! My morning is just getting started, a bit later than the rest of the week I've been off. Got invited to a last minute party so I do think I'll go out tonight, though I hadn't been planning to. Who knows if I'll stay out until midnight though?
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Happy Noodley Year, Buffistae!
I'm realizing we have very little in the way of NYE traditions. Used to be all about champagne and Thin Man movies.
We're not so much on the Black Eyed Peas.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am making lentils, because black-eyed peas are yuck and I do not have any.
I plan to clean, but so far that has only been putting dishes into the dishwasher and spraying nature's miracle where the foster dog peed.
I need to motivate, but I've only been up a little over an hour.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I will happily make a pile of beans and rice tomorrow, but I don't actually like Black Eyed Peas, so I don't.
Spending NYE at home with pajamas and cats, and if I didn't have to leave the house to run an errand the pajamas would've already started.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I have plans to meet up with friends tonight, but since I have a cold and I got very little sleep last night, I don't know how far I'll make it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm heading to a friend's house later, but am basically hoping to be home by midnight....
I've been invited to two open houses tomorrow, and I guess I'm going to both of them? With my mother.

Oh, but the real reason I came over here was to say I don't know if anyone who isn't in touch with her remembers Theresa W, but one of her kids is needing serious in-patient mental health treatment and they've set up a Go Fund Me, and I'd be happy to share the link with anyone who wants it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Work let us out a few hours early. In a little while we will head to a friend's party. She's calling it ISS NYE, and it runs from 4-10, with New Years at 7, when the ISS observes it. (She retired from NASA Goddard last year.)

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm doing something similar, Sheryl. Except I celebrate with the British. Same time, though.
