We aren't doing much of anything for NYE but that's the what we usually do...early showers...warm pajamas and comfy robes as we prop ourselves up on a sofa or a bed to try to stay up past midnight. I think we are getting Chinese food for later and maybe watching a movie. It's cold and windy here and I just want to be inside but that's where I usually am anyway. There are tons of flus and colds floating around and I need to stay clear of them...if I can.
Reading this...
a 38 year old single sort of nerdy cartoonist finds herself pregnant...that's just the beginning of her story but she decides to name the baby Digby. She needs him to have a totally nerdy name. I love this book! There's also some rivalry with her perfect sister which is making this book even better!
So...the year's end...
the end of the year just makes me try to be more thankful and appreciate every moment...I have never been sick and now I am in the middle a sickness that is new to me. I can be happy and sad and crying all in the same day. I want and need to be strong enough to get myself through what I have to go through. Den is my strength but I have to be strong for him, too. And I will.
Hugs and big thank you's for all of your thoughts and prayers as we all step into 2017!

I want that book! Happy New Year to you and Den!
ReplyDeleteThank you! The same to you! It's there to download at Edelweiss!
DeleteYour NYE plans sound like mine. Of course, my son is trying to get something scheduled for him and his girlfriend but I am secretly hoping he just stays here. It's not a good night to be driving around.
ReplyDeleteThis year end is majorly sucky for me. I am usually able to rise above things but not this year. It hit me right before Thanksgiving with the death of my mom and I ma just not even trying anymore My entire vacation has been stressful and I am just exhausted. I'm just giving in and processing it all but it's so depressing.
I really do know what you mean. I pray every day for less stress...
DeleteThat sounds good. We've had a few health challenges in this house this 2016. I hope for a better 2017 in that department. 3/4 of us have cold bugs. I'm hoping to nap today as I'd like to go to my mum's la hanau celebration tomorrow up in the city. The book sounds good. I always participate in First Book of the Year but my request hasn't come in yet, grrr. I may have to look for another substitute. Hau'oli Makahiki Hou Patty to you and Den. You've had quite a year but in the end, you are stronger and a warrior. XO
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! You have a wonderful year, too! Your words warm my soul!
DeleteEveryone seems to be sick with colds and flu around here, too... my parents, sisters, daughter. Hope I manage to avoid this one. We'll stay in for New Years Eve, too - a nice dinner, a movie, and probably some champagne. Happy New Year to you and Den!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Happy New Year to you, too!
DeleteSending good thoughts your way, and wishing for you a wonderful NYE at home, cozy and warm.
ReplyDeleteI want that Joshilyn Jackson book!
Thank you! It's really good!
DeleteStrength is what I'm wishing for you - more each day.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to need the new Jackson book.
Happy New Year!
Mary...thank you so much! I pray for strength, too. And you do need this book...I am loving it already!
DeleteHappy, healthy new year!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You, too!
DeleteHappy New Year to you both! Keep away from the flu bugs and stay warm and cozy in your newly decorated home, with cats on your lap and a book in your hands :) Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOh sweet Rita...thank you so much! I wish the same to you and your family!
DeleteWishing you a happy and healthier 2017. You are stronger than you know and you have already gone through so much. I hope 2017 is good to you. Happy reading, kitty snuggles, and time with Den. :) *Hugs*
