Painfully. Ribcage & sternum in bits following some overly exuberant dancing on the 30th. Hopefully just bruising & fractures and not soft tissue damage, but extra uncomfortable with a bad cough.
Still, should help me quit smoking as in too much pain to want to & likewise to shift pattern of seeing boyfriend to something far less frequent.
EDIT: realised I had to end things with boyfriend, so did that then got a barrage of super-manipulative texts, complete with vague suicide threats, so definitely dodged a bullet there. Very supportive message then came in from a mutual friend, so was able to clear up a few things.
Keeping him unblocked but muted, just in case he threatens to approach. Having forewarning (and evidence if it really escalates) is useful & my feelings are now such that he’s incapable of upsetting me.
As well as hosting the ball drop for something like 20 years, Anderson Cooper has covered war, famine, and devastation – but the thing he can’t handle is showing the viewers’ back home a camera shot of cat’s butt.
New Year’s Eve was typical for me. I fall asleep way too early. We watched the fireworks from Sydney streaming live. Wow what a show! My goal is to get everything in order to retire this year. There’s so much to do, wading through all the healthcare options is probably the biggest.
Didn’t really do much during the night of the new year. I’ve spent the last couple of days on a rollcoaster of anger and depression over things that I have no control over. At this point I’m just ready for school to start back up so I can busy myself with something other than work.
I’m excited about the new year. I’ve made some new friends and want to explore that. And I might be falling in love but a part of me also hopes that’s not the case.
I’m fed up already. Neighbours felt the need to party, with music and screaming, until about 4am. 2024 looks to be significantly more financially challenging than 2023 as my primary source of income has had the final nail in its coffin. I’m not looking forward to going back to university next week - I like the course as a whole, I just despise one of my fellow students and the thought of having to endure his obnoxiousness for another two and a half years is just…
I’m starting this year from a place of having almost completely given up, and it’s all downhill from here.
Celebrated with the young 'uns till 01:20 in the morning and no hangover, so two good things - can still drink moderately and stay up past midnight! Yay!
No one in the neighborhood set off midnight fireworks this year, so that was nice. Got a few last minute plant orders that I’ll be shipping out tomorrow, which feels like a great start for the year. My wife had to put in some wfh hours to process pre-authorizations for the new year so this morning was spent trying to finalize my GDQ prize submission (way too close to the deadline on this one).
