End of the year... such as it was

 Happy New Year...for what it's worth. Kind of like seeing a couple getting married and giving them best wishes, knowing it will not go well.

Today has been overcast, cold and dreary. I had hoped it would be clear and sunny to see the old year out but it's winter and all that. With it starting to get dark, I suspect will be hearing noise soon even though it's not midnight yet for us.

This was the view out my bedroom window this morning, the nearest hill is covered in fog/clouds and it's not even that tall nor far away. Clouds cleared a tiny bit midday but it's back to being very cold and now almost completely dark at 5pm. One of the things on my list this coming year is washing the windows, especially the bedroom.

As things go, Jon's EKG went fine, we got our boosted SS money and so planned some special foods after his appointment. Got there on time, called him five minutes later, he was out in about fifteen minutes. I love our providers, it's been an incredible experience other than the ER. But when do you ever have a good experience in the ER right? 

As years go, this was not such an awful one, no major plague, and only disappointment was the election. If you can't remember the bad times  then maybe they weren't so bad? Or maybe your selective memory isn't so selective anymore.

I am intending to complete more knitting projects this coming year, get on top of the gardening better since I have a tiny bit extra money and a new hose now. Still waiting for the new yarn I ordered but it'll come and hats are much faster to knit than socks.

Something else to hopefully get done this year is my cataract surgery. I did discover that my eyeglass prescription for standard and lined bi or trifocals the copay is $0. Whooo! I do like having the progressives so I need to find out how much that costs. That is next weeks chore since everything is pretty much shut down this week.

New Year resolutions and all that.. never was good ad doing those and keeping them. It's my mental state for sure but here's to attempting more exercise for both of us. 

So whatever you do this coming year, remember to be kind when you can, love always and remember those who are less fortunate and give when you can.
