Last day of the year. Wake up with a headache (took NyQuil last night) but feel better as soon as I see it’s snowing out. Though the snow doesn’t last long, it’s nice to end the year with a little white fluff.
Alexander and I were going to return some clothes he’d gotten at Bloomingdales, but he decides to postpone that activity until tomorrow. Instead I get a much-needed manicure and pedicure, and eat non-stop, or so it feels. I start with some hot tea, then have yogurt and blueberries. Good so far. But then by mid-day I am starving, so I eat the last of the nova in my fridge and make a small salad. But I’m still hungry. So then I eat two chocolates, which I never do. My cold is still knocking me out, and my runny eyes make my head feel heavy; so I decide to have an early dinner, thinking that maybe some food will wake me. I make dinner. A turkey burger on a Brioche roll with fat-free Pringles and a slice of angel food cake with chocolate icing. It’s only seven pm. And I still feel sleepy.
Robyn comes over to watch a movie with Alexander and me. We turn on the DVD, and about an hour into it, I can’t keep my eyes open, and the movie is good. So I excuse myself (Robyn is a good enough friend that I’m sure she’ll understand), and go into my room. So now I’m about to fall asleep at 9:15 on New Year’s Eve. Typical of the year I’m leaving. Comfortable and quiet.
