hrjI think I'll count today as the first day of my new year. Yesterday involved getting up at 5am (in the Boston Airport Hilton) and finally making it home. Good parts included having a non-stop flight and getting seated in an exit row (yay legroom!). What I really wanted to do was go out to do some grocery shopping and then get started on some "start the new year right" housecleaning. But instead I went off to a neighborhood lesbian social gathering (a recurring group that I've been trying to get to for the last half year or so with no success on the calendar-conflict front). Not sure yet whether it will be a productive addition to my social life. I had a few nice conversations, but I felt rather out-of-sync either compounded by or due to a deep underlying need to decompress from my vacation rather than spending an afternoon in a crowd of strangers. So I ended up leaving early with a promise to come to more of the gatherings in the future. The first three grocery stores I hit were all closed for the day, so I gave up on that end. This all contributed to deciding to hit the sack around 8pm ... which in turn contributed to waking up this morning at 5am with no hope of sleeping further.
So I started the day with a nice little breakfast that featured several food items that friends have given me over the last year that I was "saving for a special occasion". Then I went off to brows the LibriVox web site to pick up a couple more of Karen Savage's recordings (doesn't much matter what she's reading, she's such a joy to listen to). And on impulse I went ahead and set up an account at the site with an eye to possibly contributing to the project.
I went back and reviewed the irresolutions that I posted last year and decided that the half-year discombobulation front of 2009 absolved me from any requirement to have completed them (although I didn't do too badly, all in all).
Today's goal is to go pick up the last Xmas present that was presented in promissory form in Maine, possibly see the new Sherlock Holmes movie, and start that "start the new year right" housecleaning.
