Happy New Year (Almost)!
Wow, I was hammered last night. I completely zonked.
I'm surprised at how many famous people died at the end of this year. Were they trying to get past the holidays and then let go?
Oh, I forgot to mention that I texted with my aunt's nephew, asking him how the sale of my aunt's house is going. He said that it's been kind of slow with the holidays and the economy. I noticed that they dropped the price a little. I told him that I'm planning to go out and help my mom after I get settled in the new place. She's supposed to send him some stuff, but she can't go up and down the stairs :(
Ran out to drop a few things at the thrift store and get more cleaning supplies. As soon as my rags finish drying, I'll get cleaning.
Oh yay. Someone took the treadmill. That was the third person who said that they'd come get it. Sigh.
I've been feeling tired today, so I'm cranking up music to keep me going. Yay Bluetooth headphones. Yay, The Who. Now I'm taking a break to eat dinner and charge up the headphones.
Speaking of cleaning, I might have found a housekeeper for the Urbana house. I'm going to need help.
I've chosen my words for next year (I can't choose just one because that's how I am): connection (make new friends) and completion (deal with any tasks that I need to do as I unpack). Following through on those would change my life for the better.
I'm going to switch cat litter. The sawdust stuff that I'm using hardens like a rock and sticks. I'll have to find something else that's environmentally friendly. I'm going to try sWheat Scoop next.
Talked to Mom. She had fallen asleep and incorporated the phone into her dream, but eventually she realized that the phone really was ringing. She's doing about the same. She has to know in what city I'll be in every day next week, but then she realized that I'll have my cell phone with me.
Hmm. I swept the kitchen floor but I realized that I missed a couple of spots. I think that I'll remedy that (done) and go to bed. I'll wash the floor in the morning. Hmm, it's getting close to the New York NYE countdown. Maybe I should listen to the play "Imagine" and "New York, New York".
In thinking about 2023, the move will be a real plus. I'll be in a house that I like in a town that I like, and I can meet new people. But I think that 2023 will be difficult because of my mom's health. I think that it will be a roller coaster year.
