Happy New Year's Eve Everyone

11 years ago

We had a wide spread power outage in our area last evening, from 6:30 till just after 2:00 this morning. Of course our generator was not here, our our son had borrowed it. We did get the fireplace insert fired up and our son in law came and carried in some wood from our attached garage. I also plugged in the corded phone, then I went to bed. I finally fell asleep till two of our daughter's called. I did wake up when the electricity came back on. So Happy New Year's Eve everyone!

Happy New Year! How was your New Year's Eve?

Ours was utterly quiet, although not unpleasant :). Both kids were off doing their own NYE celebration so the house was nice and calm. We ate dinner, chatted, then he went to sleep early and I read for awhile. Boring? Maybe but also a moment to cherish being secure in our lives and with so much for which to be grateful. Actually, our New Year's reminds me of the lyrics to one of my favorite Carly Simon songs, Misfit: There are plenty of late nights If you want to stay up for them You'll just want to find yourself a friend And tie a couple on in a night spot Draw pictures of your soul, win the jackpot Pour tears in your beer It's hip to be miserable when you're young and intellectual In a bit you'll admit you're a misfit Come on home with me We'll turn on the TV About 10 o'clock we'll turn off the light Not every man was born to stay up late at night There are plenty of boats to catch If you notice all the sails in the wind But you better look hard my friend In case you catch a ride on the wrong one In the distance is the one you belong on Oh the water is wide It's hip to be miserable when you're young and intellectual In a bit you'll admit you're a misfit Come on home with me We'll sit under a tree And if you get the itch I'll supply the scratch Not every man was born with a boat to catch It's hip to be miserable when you are young and intellectual In a bit you'll admit you're a misfit A misfit

New Year's Eve was no problem of itself. We had none of our kids here so no celebration. We are both sick with colds so went to bed about 9:30. I was up before midnight and several more times because my head was all stuffy. Taking our daughter and her son to the airport yesterday and having lunch with another son and his fiance were both good times and hard to leave them. On the way home I started missing Aaron so badly I didn't think I could stand it. I cried a lot last night and this morning too. I do not feel good about a new year starting without Aaron. He died Nov. 24 and it seems such a short time for that to already be "last year". I know he is in heaven but my sadness is compounded by not being able to feel or "see" him anywhere. I can't visualize heaven or him meeting family and friends who have gone on before. We live in the house he built and I feel pleased with its beauty and quality and proud of the job he did. At the same time, it's very walls and windows make me think of him not being here. It sounds like you did a good job of taking care of yourself. I don't drink but at a time like this it would seem to be a good thing to be able to drown some of the feelings I have! Carol

Wishing each and every one of you a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year! Marilyn, I'm glad your power outage did not last longer! It's cold and rainy here today and I plan to stay inside.

Sorry for your cold night, Marilyn Sue. We're heading into a rapidly cooling few days and nights -- as low as 9F tomorrow night.

I don't care! Our house- and dog-sitter has our keys, and I'm packing for Friday's flight to Maui. DS and family are coming here New Year's Day to say farewell. We'll miss DGD's 2nd birthday but will be home in time for DGS's 8th.

Goodbye, 2012! Goodbye hassle with insurance after being broadsided in October. Goodbye two colonoscopies. Goodbye four doctors who couldn't decide if I *needed* an appendectomy and cecum resection. Goodbye two mammograms and "guided imaging" needle biopsy, proving *nothing there*. Goodbye countless hours vetting Medicare supplement and part D coverage. Goodbye DH's fractured molar and my root canals + new bridge. Goodbye Westie's (benign) tumor surgery and switch to prescription canned food. Goodbye (I hope) to *drought*. Goodbye to Electioneering!

Thanks for mostly good health for DH and me and extended family; for a truly dear DS and DIL; for grandchildren's laughter; for our happy home; for our winter break; for only *car* damage in the accident; for peaceful days and nights with a precious DH. Thanks for lengthening days.

Wishes for a happy, healthy, prosperous and peaceful 2013 to all!

(May I add wishes for legislation towards the end of Guns Gone Wild?)

Chisue -- as long as you're in Maui, maybe you should check out some real estate and ditch the cold for good! (Esp happy to read "Proving nothing there"!)

Hope everyone's 2013 -- it's SO strange to type that! -- brings you lots of smiles!

Pammyfay -- Thanks for your good wishes. I *knew* there was nothing, but got bullied by MD's (yet again). I'm just tired of being the well-insured, generally healthy 'patient' for these procedures. It's been going on since I was 25; I'm 71.

We've owned our little condo on Maui for 12 years. A month or two is *plenty*. I doubt we'd ever want to live full time in Hawaii. Because we rent it when we aren't there, there is always maintenance and refurbishing to do -- not 100% 'vacationing'.

Thank you, Sue. And happy New Year to you and your family! Hope the electricity stays on now. And to all the sweet people here at the KT, I wish you the happiest year of your life!!

Chisue, you've had quite a year and deserve some quiet time. Can't think of a better place than Hawaii, even though I've never been there :-) Enjoy it!

It is lightly snowing here too, but we are not expected to get much of anything. Dd is suppose to go to a party with her boyfriend, but that may need to change, depending on the weather. We have had a rough ending to the year with everyone being sick, so I look forward to a new year with wellness.
