January 25

We had our first snowstorm of the year (actually of the whole winter season) Saturday. So it was a nice cozy stay-in-the-house kind of day. I felt really bad because Anthony shoveled the walkway on our side where we go out, over and over and over. Billy didn't come out. Joel went with Rich. Chuck plowed that walk yesterday morning when there was nothing left to plow. AND he plowed out some lady up the street's car but Anthony had to shovel mine out. WTF? As much as I love my apartment, I'm so ready to move from there. I'm going to try to find someone with a plow that I can throw a few dollars to so they'll do our parking areas. Ant is really pissed. Can't blame him.

Winter still hasn't arrived. We had a little flurry last night but that's it. A few cold days but I really did wear sandals at Christmas. Weird.

I'll probably be in here sporadically. Mainly to list what I'm reading. Nothing really going on in my life although I will be trying to help out with Treasured Time - the adult version of Make a Wish. And I unfriended -- in life and in Facebook -- Susan and Ian. I can't take their radical Korean dog thing. If Koreans want to eat dogs and cats, it's their right. I told them to concentrate and getting them to humanely raise and kill them but they're all off in their weirdo world. I don't need that or their mentality. Now they eat NO meat. And I'm not that much of a meat eater but hot damn they're nuts!!

Anthony got fired -- in Manhattan of all places. Hopefully he finds a decent job soon.

I guess I'm going back to my old ways of not posting at all. I want to post. I did good last year up until Carol came home. Maybe because I'm more content? I don't know!!

Anyway today is the 4th day of the new year and winter is finally getting here. No snow yet but it's not 65 degrees anymore like it's been. I still can't believe I spent Christmas wearing short sleeves and sandals!!

So far Laney Bug is liking school. That's good. I went to Sandy's as usual on New Year's Eve. We didn't do Beckett because she wasn't feeling well. I had taken the day off from work so I just stayed home. Went to Tom's Saturday night and got totally shit-faced from his wonderful home made Italian wine. Daddy would be so proud of him!!

Kidneys seem to be doing good since the last procedure. I still have to get together with Dr. Rivera for follow up and to see how to prevent further issues.

Somehow I managed to read 22 books in 2015. I'd like to do at least 26 books a year but 22 isn't bad at all. Carol and I are planning a trip to the Book Barn pretty soon.

Last year I had some firsts -- hiking, seeing  a live hockey game, making it into the Wolf Den. I went to a bunch of Cons and met some people. Especially Alex Kingston (Riversong) who I adore. This year I hope to do much more. I will go to the Wolf Den on February 19 to see Home Free again. This time I'll be there very early and spend the day in line if I have to.
