HODGEPODGE DECEMBER 19

1. What's one thing you want to get done before the calendar flips to a new year?

Improve my health (but how ?) and finally start my new life as a widow and enjoy life again.

2. What's something that brought a smile to your face this year?

A lot, because the sadder I am, the more I seem happy and funny and laugh all the time

3. What do you like on a cracker? Do you have a favorite cracker variety?

It's fun  ! Especially the pieces of paper that lie inside and predict the future. 

4. Do you have plans for ringing in the new year in a fun or special way? Are you typically awake at midnight on the last day of the year? 

We, and now I try to wait until midnight, watch the fireworks if there are some.  We always used to celebrate with friends and it was always very funny. 

New Year, long ago, together with friends.

This year I don't know, probably I will buy some salmon or sushi and a bottle of champagne (without alcohol) and watch a movie. Maybe others will join me.

5. What are three words that describe your 2024? 

Ups, downs, lost 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

This year during the Christmas season. I think about all the Christmases I have celebrated during my life. I think the best were those in England. We celebrated the first years of our marriage with my parents, but I have very bad memories of that. When they had passed away,  we changed the way we celebrated and it became fun. And now ? I don't care, I just want this time to be over as quickly as possible. Despite that I decorated my room and it looks very cozy and even though I was sick,  I found all the presents and they arrived on time.


 Rosie is a bit surprised she had never seen a mouse like that !

  1. The holiday season can be difficult when one is grieving or dealing with a lot of changes in life. I hope your holiday holds some happy surprises and enjoyment for you.
