2026

Well, we made it thru another year. I’m not exactly sure how we did it, but we did. I mean the world is twirling on a ledge of ignorance and bias, but we made it to another year.

It is cold and rainy here so stayed my ass at home. We rang in the new year watching reruns of fireworks and then catching the local ones on replay. [1]We don’t have cable and couldn’t find a live stream that worked. Lol I’ve never really been big on the whole NY thing. I used to make resolutions but they were always half assed and I rarely stuck with them. I eventually gave up and just started making “resolutions” on a regular basis vs waiting for the “New year, new me” approach. I’d like to think it worked out bettera that way. That said, if you make resolutions I hope you stick with them!

Someone asked me recently if I still did personal growth updates here on the blog. This blog definitely started to help me cope with not only my life but also my issues. And it was a success. One might say too much of a success, as I haven’t really felt the need to delve into my id much in the last few years. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve still have bad days, but I’ve dealt with the soul-crippling issues from my past. I’ve tried not to turn this site into a bitch session about the Orange turd and the related tragedy that is politics lately. No one needs another page of bitterness to read. Lol I’ll try to make more personal posts, but at some point you get tired of hearing about my ailments. hehehe

Anyway, Happy New Year! I hope you have a very safe and happy one.

Well, it’s 2025.

Y’all know I don’t really celebrate it, courtesy of 2 decades of work related trauma. It should come as no surprise, I took the day off. Hehehe

Shawn is under the weather so we stayed at home. We had planned to attend an early party, but no biggie. It’s kind of a made up holiday. I’m normally pretty optimistic but considering what’s ahead, I’m not feeling overly joyous. It’s certainly going to be dramatic, that’s for sure.

I think my only new year’s resolution is to take more photos. I’m terrible at capturing my life on camera. Not that anyone else cares, but I’m not a spring chicken anymore.

That’s all I can muster at the moment. It probably sounds a bit depressing. I’m not trying to be, I just tend to be realistic.

That said, Im wishing the best for you and yours this next year!

Hope springs eternal…
