My advice for the new year, don’t do resolutions. You’re just setting yourself up for failure from the start. I do hope 2018 is better than 2017. I hope we take back our country from the greed-driven, money obsessed people who have lied and cheated their way to the top. Vote this year. In every election. Vote. Get them out of office, even if their office is dog catcher. Happy New Year, everybody.
It is ten degrees Fahrenheit out there. It’s not that warm in here, either. Fortunately, I have lots of ways to warm up, including Lunatic’s favorite ugly but toasty warm blanket. Brrrrrrrrr. 
It’s a good time for lots and lots and lots of lovely hot tea.
Just in case you didn’t know.
I am finally having a half-way decent day. Pain and exhaustion are not fun. My homemaker came for three hours today, to make up for Monday. I told him he had his work cut out for him. Then I had to explain what that means. He’s so cute. He cleaned everything. He cleaned to stove and the burner trays and the burners. Did not ask him to do that. Did a great job on everything, too. Glad I kept him. He and Lunatic did not start out well, but just keep getting better and better. Would have missed out if I had decided against them.
I am eating lamb vindaloo from Trader Joe’s. I love Trader Joe’s. Lamb Vindaloo was mentioned in Red Dwarf, so when I saw it I went for it. It is very good, and set-your-mouth-on-fire hot. I like hot.
Watched the last season of Broadchurch after refreshing myself on what went before. What a good show. I wonder if there will be more. Looking forward to more Shetland, if it ever gets to Netflix. The last season of Longmire is up, too. Looking forward to that. There are some really good shows out there, and it is so great to watch without commercials. Binge-watching is now my fav thing. Me and Lunatic and a blanket on the couch. It’s a good thing.
Hope you all had a great Christmas, or Solstice, or whatever you celebrate. I’m Solstice, myself, with the Christmas tree and all. 🙂 Happy Holidays everyone.
