I haven't worked in a really long time, and I'm not sure how I'm going to start back up again, honestly.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I was pretty grumpy about working today, but hopefully not too overtly. Mission Get Too Much Chinese Food and Sufficient Cat Food accomplished!
Happy New Year to those who've arrived. Happy New Year's Eve to the rest of us. I'm stealing my nephew's tradition and having some neighbors over for board games and bubbly. Tomorrow one of the neighbors will have a bunch of us up for brunch and serve black-eyed peas and collards.
I've turned on the CNN New Year's show because my mom's chorus is performing, and wow, the bantering is terrible. I wish there was a way to skip right to the part I wanted.
First fireworks and our new dog, Freya, is terrified poor thing. The vet thinks she was hit by a shotgun in the past, so I can't blame her for being scared.
Gud, do you have an interior room you could put her in with music or a tv playing?
Zoe is in my lap. She's always terrified of the fireworks.
I want to stay up but I don't think it's happening.
Freya can hang out with me in the basement, it's not perfect but it's better than being upstairs.
Matilda is the only one of us at a NYE party tonight. A preview of things to come, I expect.
I'm awaiting JZ to come home after spending the day helping her friend Marta pack up her mother's apartment. (Marta's mom died recently after a long illness.)
I have no idea how we'll celebrate. Perhaps toasted cheese and cocktails.
We are decidedly doing nothing for the holiday. My BiL is staying with us for a week. He's helping my DH organize the garage in exchange for plane tix out here and lots of time off to hang out. It's lovely to have him here, but none of us are NYE folks, so we're all getting ready for bed. Or, in my case, in bed already.
