A Brand New Year

Happy New Year to everyone! Lots going on; some good, some really sucky. Let's just start off with the sucky stuff, 'k? I got a horrible cold two days before Christmas. I thought I did pretty well keeping myself dosed with cough syrup, mucinex, and chloraseptic lozenges and was feeling better, but a couple of days ago started feeling bad again. Oh well. It's winter. I get sick in winter. Last week it was in the 30's, tomorrow it's going to be 72. So be it.

Christmas was amazing, made even more so by the fact my nephew FINALLY proposed to his girlfriend the Wednesday before. The entire family loves Jamie and we're excited. The two them think the wedding will be sometime in October. I can hardly wait!

No new Jypsy news. Still leery of black shoes, but doing well otherwise. So happy! She's currently curled up almost upside down on the back of the sofa, making these teeny, tiny snoring sounds.



Did get all the Christmas stuff down per my mother's rules when I was a child. It didn't get back in the attic, but as far as the 'celebration' part of it goes it counts - now there's just a big mess in the house. Soon as I get my energy back...
