- Luckily, it is Friday, so I can make this into a Friday Night Leftover’s post and not have to worry about producing coherent paragraphs.
- For our New Year’s plans, we are going out to dinner at 5:00pm to our hibachi restaurant. Then we’ll come home and go to bed at a regular hour.
- Of course, a lot of times on New Year’s Eve, we end up waking up at midnight to hold trembling dogs as fireworks go off in our neighborhood. I strongly dislike people who feel the need to set off fireworks in neighborhoods where people are trying to sleep.
- Okay, resolutions. My main resolution this year is to finish the organization of the house. I tend to follow the mess around and always have at least one cluttered closet or room. (Since I decided this two days ago, I’ve cleaned out that closet and two more. So, a good start.) I’d like to get the house to where I can sit down and say “DONE!” At least for a day or two, organization is an ongoing project.
- The garage is the next big project. It is full of random Christmas stuff (wrapping things, decorations that I never put up this year) and is also packed with all the stuff I’ve been setting aside to take to Goodwill. There are also a few things from the old house that I need to sell or get rid of.
- It’s lucky our garage is huge here or I’d never be able to fit all this stuff in there. Of course, if I couldn’t fit it all in there, I wouldn’t have been able to let it get this bad.
- My other on-going resolution is to be a better listener. I have known a few fantastic listeners in my life and I want to be like them.
- I’m also going to work on getting the household on a better schedule/routine/rhythm. Life is easier on all of us when we know what is going on.
