I keep forgetting today is NYE. We are doing NOTHING and I won't be up until mid-night (even to say goodbye to THIS year). I've said before, NYE isn't my thing and I usually worked the holiday so I have no draw to stay up. And, I'm usually sick of overindulgence so there's that too :)
It's funny because I'm not into celebrating New Year's, but I love the turn over to a new year. Reviewing, planning, etc. You'd think it would be my favorite holiday.
We are having a fun New Year's day though. Kids are okay with isolation so they are coming over for a poker afternoon. I'm making a Cobb salad and ricotta toast -- both are clean out meals. We have the boxes of chocolates and leftover sausage balls to munch on while we play down-n-dirty cutthroat poker LOL.
I decided to hold on Christmas decorations. Why? Because I don't feel like it. The house can be decorated on New Year's day and I'll start the process Saturday. No big deal. I'm not anxious to take things down this year -- the scaled back decorations aren't overwhelming and I'm going to miss them actually.
What is on the agenda is learning the new air fryer, a little bit of cooking (for me) and hard boiling eggs for tomorrow. Easy. Maybe we'll search for a movie to watch in the afternoon -- a little date night afternoon.
Next week is the one year anniversary of losing our big guy. I miss that sweet boy -- he was an amazing, joyful soul. I wanted to foster a pup this month in his honor and we're set to get a little man next week. He's a stray and is on a stray hold to give his owner time to find him (fingers crossed), but if no one comes forward, he's ours by the end of the week. The person who found him named him Coby -- no picture yet ... just a blurry video. He's small, terrier looking, black/brown. Scared and sweet. Here's our boy ... the reason we foster. XOXO, big guy.
Goodbye 2020 -- a year we'll never forget. Here's to 2021 and a climb out of the pandemic, social injustices, hateful divide, economic crisis ... just a little expectation on this coming year. I hope relief is in sight for many people who desperately need it. We were one of the lucky ones this year, but the heartbreak is everywhere.
Stay well. Stay safe. Be smart. We're not out of the woods by a long shot, but the light is waiting. Hang on ... 2021 can be all of those things if we work together. Happy New Year (!!)
