Since I work 7on/7off there is a 50/50 chance I will be at work. The good thing is, if I work on New Year’s day, that means I was off on Christmas. The best years are the one’s when Christmas falls on a Monday of my off week. That means I am off Christmas and New Year’s eve.
i always liked to go out on NYE. so i’d be spending my NYD hungover. and the older i get the worse the hangovers are. but i’d still do it. so i’d be spending today sleeping in, then waking up feeling like my head was going to cave in. i’d down some water and brush my teeth if i could manage it, take some excedrin and then back to bed. probably by 10-11pm i’d feel like it was safe enough to eat something. more sleep and then one additional day of lingering general malaise before a return to normalcy.
but as drinking and other partying is strictly a social activity for me, next month i’ll have inadvertently been sober for a year. so today i woke up naturally at 9am, looked at my phone for awhile, and then i’m headed to the grocery store and will stop for coffee, tea, and bagels on the way back. my only other big plans are expecting an amazon fresh delivery and getting all the boxes from christmas out to the recycling tonight before pickup in the morning.
Board- or video games with friends, most years. Staying in and reading this year. (Even if there wasn’t a pandemic going on, we’d be staying in today - there’s a half inch of ice on everything right now.)
I got up at ten, cooked blackeyed peas and cornbread and a belated 12th night cake, read some of the eighteen or so books I got in preparation for downtime, and did some weeding. High temperature was 82.
College Football Playoffs!! DUH!!

@IndifferentDude You had the star at college football playoffs. Then you had to go and ruin it with the Ohio State yuckiness…
Nittany Lions for the win! Well, not thus year, but someday…
@IndifferentDude Aw hell. Guess I gotta support the Big10 in the bowl games and playoffs. You (reluctantly) get your damn star…
I usually go to the Smithsonian. But this year don’t want to be inside with people so who knows
@CaptAmehrican I love that place, I am also semi local. I can’t wait til all’s back to normal.
@kerryzero well when safe again everyone expects it to be closed so ot is empty on new years day plus ypu hit the main goals
If by “good healthy meal” you mean a bad unhealthy meal, then that’s my answer.
I find work around the house to do. This year, I’m painting 4 rooms at my parent’s house.
@AuntMean67 that is very sweet of you to do
If it falls on a weekday I will be at work.If it falls on a weekend who knows.
Working. Day 5 of 6.
The End.
Relaxing at home with a lot of snacky stuff.
LotR extended edition
Usually a game day, but not this year.
It might be the beer talking, but I was thinking about painting my cats’ toenails
@kerryzero
May I suggest a quick trip to the pharmacy for bandaids and antibiotic cream first?

Nursing a hangover.
This time, it is a full year hangover.
oof. Get me an aspirin.
I got up early, went to Menards, and spent the morning replacing our water heater.
Now I’m watching football and drinking some beers.
