Happy New Year everyone!
We managed to stay up late last night to bring in the New Year. We had our front door wide open. Why? This is an old Iris tradition. People would open the back door just before midnight to let the old year out and open the front door to let the new year in. So, that’s what we did. We could also hear all the fireworks going off around town in celebration. It was nice.
Oh crap. Wait….I did it wrong. I just realized that I did not open my back door. Only the front. Oh well, maybe 2024 left the way it came in.
Me and Nick didn’t attend any New Years parties. We just went out for a steak dinner and hung around the house. We went to our favorite steak house. The food was great but the service was terrible this time. I understand it was new years eve and the young workers did not want to work so they had a low work crew, so we tried to stay patient.
We were third in line for a table and had to wait 45 minutes. Once at our table, a waitress with no personality took our order. We waited and waited. Finally our steaks arrived. We asked, “Where are our salads? The waitress then asked “Do you really want them? I can have the manager deduct them from your ticket”. We looked at each other in confusion then turned back to her and said “Yes, we would like our salads and the complementary bread. She returned with the salads and dropped them on the table without any expressions or words and walked away. We never saw her again until it was time to pay. I gritted my teeth as I kindly added a tip.
I hope this new year will be great. We will have a new president and new promises. I hope and pray it all goes well. I plan to work on myself this year. I really let myself go last year. I was slack on exercise, ate unhealthy, started the menopause stuff and had a couple (minor) health issues. I need to make myself better and be the fighter I am. I also plan to get back to blogging regularly. I could actually make a little fun money by blogging since my blog is monetized. I just need to put in more effort.
What are some of your plans for the new year?
