here’s how my countdown to the new year went…
December 31, 2009
- 5:15am woke up – that’s 19 hours before midnight
- am – online clean-up of email, files, blog, etc. – took week off to get stuff in order – won’t get everything on list done, but nice to start the year organized
- 11am yoga – sporadic practice lately, reading a blog post by a 20-something this morning, realized the struggle is with class – checked out Peggy Cappy’s Yoga For The Rest of Us Back Care Basics from library – did several segments, focusing on restorative, stretching and relaxation poses and liked it
- 12:30pm lunch – last bite of poultry for a while – abandoned mostly-vegan eating habits in mid-November – felt droopy and needed more protein for the cold weather and studio prep, but after much turkey and chicken and too much dairy, it’s back to vegan+fish+eggs tomorrow
- pm – blogging and network trouble-shooting – another year-end goal was improve home connectivity – some success – screaming fast DSL and WiFi, but the printer isn’t talking to anyone on the network and barely when direct wired
- 4pm rainy walk with dogs – clear sunny weather is over but that’s okay – ready to be back in the studio, but will miss the brisk afternoon walks with the dogs
- 7pm dinner – hubby does it again with our traditional New Year’s Eve dinner of fresh lobster, steamer clams, artichokes and rosemary bread – yummy
- 9pm ball drops in Times Square and we wish each other Happy New York New Year with a kiss – was already thinking of celebrating on East Coast time, then neighbor mentioned the were having a NY NY party for friends with kids – a new trend on the Left Coast?
- 10:30pm off to bed – the early fade was inevitable
- wee hours – snooze while hubby reads, works a puzzle and watches TV
January 1, 2010
- 12:01am woke briefly to the sound of fireworks – Happy New Year Seattle!
- 4:30am reach for ear plugs – need to block out the dog snores
- 6:30am woke up– slept in for 1 hour and 15 minutes – woo hoo – that’s living
- 7am breakfast
- 8:30am dog park – a blustery day at the beach but beautiful – dogs are spoiled
- 10am clean-up – dog baths, people showers and laundry
- noon holiday picture – despite all the guests in the house over the holidays, didn’t think of this until the day the tree was to come down – impossible with two dogs and the camera timer – we had fun trying
