Christmas is over once again. I am always sad when it is over on Christmas night. I really don't know why. I guess because of the anticipation of that day. Months of shopping trying to find the perfect gift for each person on your list. So loud that day with excited kids playing with toys. Big dinner. Then I go home and it is so quiet. Just a letdown.
There are a lot of things I can do to get prepared for next year. Seems like I didn't have time to do everything I planned on doing. One sad thing. I sent a card to a pen pal that I have written too for the last twenty years. We have the same birthday and same age. Her card I sent came back saying deceased on it. I have no way of knowing what happened. She had kids but none knew me.. This happened last year too but the lady had lived with her sister and her sister wrote me back telling me. That is happening way to often.
The last few days I have spent cleaning. Today I deep cleaned my master bath and bedroom. Took me most of the day. Tomorrow it will be the living room and dining and kitchen. I want to get it all cleaned before the new year. I usually cook lunch on New Years for a few of the kids. Got to have black eye peas and sauerkraut.
Maybe on New Years Eve I will have a drink. Just one. The last twenty years I had grape juice. I thought I couldn't drink alcohol. But I do drink a wine cooler now and then. That is the extent of it. But it is kind of relaxing.
So I am working on getting my house in order. Working on New Year resolutions I never keep. Maybe this year I will, Who knows?
