I don't know whether to think of it as him exiting early before the bullshit of 2025 arrived, or if he was trying to encapsulate all the suckiness to 2024.
Both, maybe?
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

Lovely morning to wake up to for those of us from New Orleans. No one I know was hurt, because no one I know would have been on Bourbon St. at 3:30AM, but jesus christ. I can't wait until Republicans start saying stupid shit.

Thank you for the reminder, Brenda! And may you have a speedy and uneventful recovery. That really stinks.
So, I'm thinking I will sign up for the tournament starting Saturday morning. Not to say I won't be there Friday, but I feel like Saturday and Sunday are good for me for official game time -- what are others thinking? I mean, I know not everyone is signing up for the actual tournament, but for those who are...

I didn't sleep well, so a short nap at 11 seemed like a good idea. Three hours later I woke up, realized I'd slept through phone calls, because I'd made vague plans to go over to a friend's. They ended up coming over to my place, I did a partial White Tornado run around the living room and kitchen.
This is a good way to start off a new year, anyway. Here's hoping the rest of 2025 will continue this trend for me and my friends here and IRL.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy new year, all!! I am so glad I took off today and tomorrow -- I am barely feeling recovered from my fall and holidays, yikes.

Re: Crossword tournament, I was thinking I could show up Saturday morning, but Stamford is farther than I thought! So I will go Friday night, but probably not sign up to compete in the Friday stuff. Excite!!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
We are starting the new year (or at least the first business day of the new year) with a plumber fixing a broken water line in the bathroom. He says it's an easy fix, so fingers crossed that it remains that way and he doesn't uncover a more complicated problem!
I was going to grumble about this and say "what a way to start the new year," but I've decided to be positive and just be glad we could get a plumber out so quickly, and that it's an easy fix.

That's the ticket.
Trying to roust myself to get out the door and run. It's a clear sunny day so I have no excuses.
I have to bear down and finish my travel plans with Matilda today. We're going in three weeks!

So soon! Exciting!

I'm back in the office, at a bit at a loose end since the expected cutover did not happen for my team's particular, uh, instance? Hanging out with my folks was very low key and relaxing, we ended up watching the SF fireworks on TV at midnight and the London NYD parade that I did not know was a thing on the first. Black-eyed peas and beet greens for luck (mom had what seemed like a lot of beet greens left from making borscht but they cooked down to not very much as is the way of greens, but a nice bright green, so it should count, right?) Managed to not see the news at all (except some on my phone) so that was nice
