Happy New Year

Do you have plans?

I hope I get to stay home (!). I may receive pressure from a neighbor. I think I could get away with demurring.

I'm thinking spend NYE with Dolly and Miley? 😅

No fireworks yet.

Can't watch football; TV cable on the blink for now.

Chinese!.

Enjoy!!

Jim Beam and coke listening to music..
Happy New Year Everybody!

Just got back from a short snowshoe with - gasp - FRIENDS!

SO...cocoa with..brandy or rum? Or whiskey? 🤔

Did you know you can freeze marshmallows!

What are they like? I like Jameson's in my coffee.

This is a nice quiet day for me- staying in and binge watching some TV. Also checking in on DU from time to time.

My big plans are cooking for tonite, and then doing some laundry and cleaning tomorrow and Monday. I always feel better and more organized with ready made food, clean linens and clothes, and a clean apt. Which is a good way to start the New Year.

Best of all my baby girl, Callie Lu is doing "lap duty" and keeping me company.

I will be very happy if everything stays peaceful in the neighborhood.

I can't believe I've thrown away so many partial bags before learning this!

The internet blows my mind...

to watch?

Any recs?

Trying to find something interesting but not too demanding.

and pour a healthy portion in a coffee cup. I've got some gummies, too, so I might chew up a couple of those as well. I'll play some music and eat and this and that. Should be fun!

But, the Monday the city clerks office is open, we are getting married.
I have only one living relative. She has thousands.

big news! Congrats! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

We are pretty excited for a couple of old farts.
Been in the plans for years. The stars are aligned now.
Get to pass on my union benefits and she keeps saving my life with her RN skills. I knew her husband before he passed away. He had cancer for a long time. Kept pushing us to hang out.

yours is quite a love! 💕

Wishing you many happy years together!!

I'm a little nervous as it's my 1st NYE alone in my 42 years of marriage! Husband had to go be with his 95 year old mom.

His presence brought her SO MUCH joy! So I don't mind at all! Esp. being, well, a loner, essentially.

Funny cuz when our kid was little we would have huge parties here on NYE! Sledding, bonfire, food. I did love it but a lot of pressure!

HAPPY NEW YEAR loners everywhere! May the new year bring you as much silence, peace, steadiness, as fills your soul!

Happy 2023 - Year of the Indictment (we hope)!

New Year's Day is predicted to be real nice, but right now, there's a rainstorm with 40 mph winds howling.

Look for a better 2023. If all those "friends and family" don't exactly venture "over the river and through the woods" to visit you, be assured that it's just their own DAMN COUCH POTATO LAZINESS at work.

You're made of fine stuff. Just under-advertised. Stay healthy. Stay in shape. Keep your mind sharp and put on classical music if you can find some (it's on the internet. Good for the mind and the soul.)

Better days are coming.

You as well!

weather getting crappy anyway.....

maybe netflix

Happy New Year Loners!

Sleep is my new addiction.

Can't get enough of it.

Can't decide to crack open a frosty, watch a movie or try learning a couple of reels I just came across — one of which is appropriately named for a resolution night like this — "The Broken Pledge".

More and more, our kids are giving me shit for laying low on party nights. I say "have at it, been there and done it."

So a happy peaceful New Years to yourself, hubs, his Mom and the rest of us here and elsewhere.

I'm listening to a Dead New Years Eve show from '72 loud as fuck as a sonic shield against the boom boom neighbors. Years ago, I would have complimented the music with some weed or some psychedelics, but now it's just some cheap vodka and soda.

👍🏾👍🏾

Most of a quart of my canned tomatoes in fridge and flour in pantry gathered with other foods to become a pizza. Several neighbors fireworks helped me not sleep through the magic moment.

I saw that the posts had not ticked up much.
lol.
sitting in an old cabin with cats and an almost recovered shoulder (muscle/nerve pinch).
just woke up to the new year with a great breakfast for one.

take a drive and maybe find a breakfast place that isn't too busy. Later on will walk the dog then watch some football. Baking a small ham with collards and black eyed peas. Probably have a couple glasses of wine later. Chill out with doggie and kitty. I hope you and the other DUers enjoy your day.
