Thanksgiving is over. Don't remember what, where, or if I ate, but I am sure I did. For the most part 2020 sucked. There was the covid most of the year which pretty well kept us all isolated. Well, it kept those of us who believed that it was more than the flu off the streets and out of the stores and restaurants. And then when I lost my dear Anthony to a disease that didn't exist, I pretty much gave up.
I do want to thank the friends who knew and who cared for standing behind me and keeping me from falling. And to those of you who did not know, it is best that way. I never was one to air my laundry as mother used to say. It is water under the bridge and you know how that goes! When the water flows under the bridge, it is gone. Never going to see that water again. Off to the sea, or into a reservoir some where and flushed down the shitter. Gone.
OMG! Today is Saturday. I thought it was Friday. Good thing I looked at the calendar. The worst thing about isolation is that I never know for sure what day it is. I am going to Fowler to spend the night with a friend on Sunday. I will spend the night because I do not want to drive home in the dark. If Shirley was still alive, I could stop and see her, but she isn't. But, I am supposed to make Tiramisu and I planned on making it on Saturday, but that was when I thought Saturday was tomorrow.
So that last paragraph has nothing to do with anything. It is just more of my ramblings that were leading to what is really in my little head this morning. So, here we go. I am going to make my list of New Years Eve resolutions sometime this week. I know I am going to do this because every year I do.
I write them down on paper, because that makes them real and I may forget what they were. Let me rephrase that: I WILL forget what they are. I have yet to fulfill one of the lists, so I really do not know why I bother, but hope springs eternal in the human breast. (I read that some where.) So here it comes:
1. This one used to be "quit smoking", but one day I just got up and never smoked again. I am not sure what year that even was. Seems like it was in the Spring. Cathy knows because she quit then also. So I will change this one to "Drink more water."
2. Take a walk every day. Well, maybe every other day. Let's get real here: Take a walk when the sun is shining and it is between 75 and 85 degrees and Jiraiya is here to keep me company. There. That should do.
3. Keep the house clean. Change that one to: Make sure the front and back doors are clear of debris in case the house catches on fire from internal combustion from the grease on the stove from the healthy diet I never followed from the last New Years Day resolution list I made.
4. Call my friends more often even though they depress me when they tell me what they have been doing while I was setting home feeling sorry for myself.
So, hell with this. I am never going to change. Life sucks so I might as well get used to it. I still have 5 days to make my list so expect a revision on this list. For now, I am going to just hit the publish button up on top and probably go eat a cinnamon roll.
Remember what momma told me; "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." And I do have good intentions.
