I've spent most of New Year's Day, before watching the depressing Rose Bowl game, watching old videos of my children. Now I'm feeling sad because those little guys are gone, never to return. I am proud of the young men they have become, but recalling those early days causes me to mourn the end of their childhoods. Where has the time gone and how did we get here?
We spent New Year's Eve at home, enjoying Canadian Walleye. I'm blessed to have a husband who loves to cook fish. It was so tasty, I'm thinking we need a bigger freezer and a vacation home on a lake in Canada. It's probably too cold and the growing season too short for me to really be able to live up there, but those cold waters make some tasty eating fish! G-Ma brought over steaks to go with our supper, making it a surf and turf night.
We watched ridiculous TV midnight countdowns until midnight. Is it just me, or do these shows get worse every year?
The menfolk stayed up for midnight gaming, but I was ready to pass out by 1:00am. I did get up early and work from home, so this is probably why I was such a lightweight.
I've really enjoyed working from home these past two weeks. I wish I knew a way to make this a permanent situation. I can get so much done without the interruptions at the pool. I love not having to drive too! I guess it will feel good to get back to the routine and to see the many friendly faces at work. I've been having trouble trying to figure out what day of the week its been lately.
I'm still getting used to my medication. I feel good most of the day, but always around 3:00-4:00pm, I start to feel lightheaded and my stomach feels iffy. It's not quite nausea, but it's borderline. After supper, I usually feel better. I'm wondering if this medication is doing something to my blood sugar levels. My blood pressure readings have all been in the safe zone though, so that is good. I'm going to make some adjustments to my eating schedule, and see if that helps.
I'm off now, to kick back and relax. I feel like doing some old fashioned writing. The kind where there isn't a glowing rectangle staring you in the face. I need to feel the pen across the paper.
Have a Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Dawn! I agree with you, that those countdown shows are getting worse and worse. We didnt' turn one on until five minutes to midnight....then we went to bed! Glad the meds are working for you. Changing your eating schedule should help. Enjoy your Sunday!!
Happy New Year. I SO have to agree with you about working from home. :-D You are correct about how quickly time flies. I look at my niece and nephew and cannot believe that they are 5 and 8 (well almost 8) now. Wow!!!!
I didn't watch any of the countdown shows. I watched a Criminal Minds marathon + didn't realize it was New Years until the neighbors started yelling. lol I stayed up until 1then I went to bed.
Happy New Year! Awww, that’s adorable that you watched old videos of the kids, I know how you feel. I found photos of my niece and I the other day when she was around 5 and it made me smile. She’ll be attending University next year and it hit me that she is all grown up now. It’s sad because we wish they could stay our little ones forever. Sounds like you had a nice New Year’s Eve with the family. Maybe you should have a piece of toast or something light when taking your meds, may help your stomach. Enjoy your day!
