MOM: You don't need a new year. We have a perfectly good year at home.

WIFE: Can you walk Fido again, please?

HUSBAND: Sure; it's the leash I can do.

Good morning. And Happy New Year to us all.

I was wrong; they didn't move. The noise went on until around 3 a.m.

I went to bed around 9:00. slept soundly until about 10 minutes after midnight. It was quite noisy: sirens, shouting, and fireworks. I think the noise spooked the cays, and that's what actually woke me. From then on, I slept poorly. The temperature dropped, and my 2:30, it was quite chilly in the apartment. From that point on, my bed was a warm-up location for three playful cats celebrating the New Year.

I remember bits of one dream: I was back at Goodspeed after an absence of some time. I needed to use the phone, but I couldn't remember the code to get an outside line. At one point, a rather attractive man dressed in medical attire came through the lobby while I was trying to get the receptionist to help me with my call. The man - maybe early 40's, maybe vaguely familiar - spoke my name and started talking to me. I didn't know who the hell he was, but I was sure we had met before, so I kept looking at the badge on his shit for a name. Everything he said - mostly thanking me for telling him he was an okay, maybe too gay, chorus boy but he'd have a better life if he followed his parents' advice and went to medical school - sorta got my memory working, but I just couldn't place his face. I walked to his vehicle with him, and we might have set a date for dinner. Then three roping cats woke me.

I have no idea what 2024 has in store for me, but here are my hopes:
    1. Annabelle and Thatch has a successful life as a book; it would be wonderful if something fantastic came from it but I wrote it to amuse myself and a few friends. I hope others enjoy it, too.
    2. The March ballet performances are a big success and lead to more work; I need a steady income to supplement the Social Security and pension which are not enough to survive on in NYC.
    3. My health improves.
My biggest fear: I don't live to see 2025.

You're nearing a posting millstone, Vixmom!  Hopefully, someone can capture the momentous moment! ;D

Wow, that is quite a millstone coming up for vixmom!

I am looking forward to holding my grandson in 2024 and praying he will be a happy and healthy child.

A wonderful milestone!

I am personally responsible for a fraction of the increase in posts as I was not around for 2022.

That may be the case for me, too.

That's quite a dream, and such a strong memory of it!

Today, a day of rest and continued recovery. It’s just so wonderful to wake up to the feeling of a lousy cold having left the building.

I had a phone call this morning a bit after 8 a.m.

I was invited to New Year's Day lunch at my cousin Debra's!

Hooray!

Now to shower and shave.
