One and all. May 2025 treat us all kindly.
Trying to start the New Year right. I remember reading somewhere, sometime, that what you do on the first will inform your year. Normally I try to keep this in mind and only do stuff that I want to do/is fun to do, on NY day. Not so much this year. I did spend this morning relaxing, reading (fanfic) and knitting (new blanket for my bed), but Thing Two had other ideas and I spent this afternoon sorting out boxes of craft (crap) from the basement.
OMG! What a blast from the past. I think several of the boxes were packed up for the move into
the first house we ever purchased (circa 1995). Others were maybe from the move after the divorce (so from about 2003-2004) and yikes! That said, Thing Two likes some of that stuff and has made off with a whole bunch of it. Still, 6 boxes have been condensed into one. And that's a good thing.
Question Of The Day:
January 1. The first day of the new year – do you have anything special to look forward to this coming year?
Special, no. Stressful, yes. After 8 (almost 9) years in our current residence, we have to move. Our Landlords have decided to sell (understandable, they never intended to be landlords and they are getting older-well past retirement). But! We can't afford to move back to the city and rentals are few and far between in our town, so it's stressful! On the positive side, we were given 6 months notice and still have 3 and a bit months on that.

P.S, It did snow overnight and a bit though the day, but not a lot. Just enough to make everything miserable, especially as it looks like there was no snow removal/plowing /sanding happening. Good thing we stayed home! Oh and the high was -11 C/12.2 F
