Clap hands! Here comes...
...the new year. Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all are happy and healthy and going to do whatever you find fun tonight. I have nebulous plans to hang out. Seems like a good idea to me. Low key and happy is what I'm going for. Maybe some dancing, but even if there isn't, I probably will. Just standing around, boogying to the music in my head. I do that a lot.
I have no real exciting news or dreams or anything of interest to share today, more's the pity. I feel I should have something pithy to say to everyone, about life and renewal and the deepness of thought and whosits and stuff. But I don't. Sorry, I'll try harder next time. Let's just get through the last day of this arbitrary markage of time, is my big thought for today. Without drama, preferably. Fun, but no drama. The happy and the joy, they can be mild and mellow, but with dancing. That's as far as my deep thought process goes today. Maybe it's that I got up early to get as much work done as I could before lunch. Or maybe I'm just not that deep of a thinker. Also possible.
I bought some clothes on Friday. Downtown was a madhouse. I was not as prepared for that as I thought I was. The shoe department in Nordstroms scared me away before I could use my gift certificate. How many people, and how many shoes, and how much scariness I feel too traumatized to report. Walking away seemed the better part of valor. Went to several other stores where I had xmas gift cards. I was tired of trying on things almost immediately, and didn't get most of what I went down there for. You should always bring friends along for moral support when you're trying on jeans. I did not, and I regret it. Also regretted most of the hanger clothes. You know, the clothes that look really cute on the hanger, but when you put them on they make you look weird shaped and so not cute. Meh. Gave up after a couple hours of irritation. I'm not the best shopper in the world. I knew what I wanted, so I couldn't find it. Tried shopping again yesterday, but refused to look at clothes in self defense. Bought towels and pillows instead, whee. Couldn't find exactly what I wanted, again. I wanted dark purple towels of decadent romanesque sybaritic fantasy. No, I did. But they only had sort of maroon or lavender. So I got white, also decadent. But you can bleach white towels if they get dingy. Not so with lavender. The towels were on sale, and are oh-so fluffy, and the pillows are too. (Both on sale and oh-so fluffy.) So that's good. Doing a lot of laundry today as well as work, and cleaning and filing and stuff. I know, I live a life on the edge. Tomorrow some of us are going to see "Sweeny Todd" and I'll take xmas down and put it away, and that's all the plans I'm making for that. Low key is my motto for as long as I can manage. With dancing. Love to all, and I'll talk to you next year.
PS Thanks those who helped or offered to help with computer stuff. All better now.
