Happy New Year

Hello 2026! I really don't know how it is 2026. I remember the whole 2000 Y2K thing like it was yesterday and here we are 26 years later. Yeah, yeah I know, I keep harping on it but what can I say? I guess it is normal that time just flies by faster and faster the older you get. I mean remember when we were little and summer vacations would feel like they would last forever and ever. And now, time just flies and flies. Well, I am over winter so maybe that can fly by too and it will be spring before we know it? Fingers crossed I guess. 

We have had a little bit of snow every couple of days, nothing too major, just an inch or two or a dusting here and there but just enough to be annoying and have to clean off the car, make sure the walkways and stairs are clear and so on. It does look pretty but it just never ends. It has also been super cold. Slightly better today and supposed to warm up a bit more over the next few days into the middle of next week. 

Anyway last week was ok. Mostly quiet at work with a little bit of a craziness mixed in due to so many people being out for vacation/holidays so dealing with coverage and whatnot. Worked 1/2 a day on New Year's Eve and then we headed to Southbury to see "Marty Supreme" at the Riverview Theater there. The acting was really good but overall I felt like the movie was a bit too long and the storyline/plot all over the place. But anyway was an enjoyable afternoon. Headed home after that and had some food at home and watched the CNN Times Square New Year's coverage with Andy Cohen & Anderson Cooper which is always entertaining. Stayed up till about 1.30am. Slept in on the 1st and then headed to New Year's Day Brunch at Jlaw. 

Worked the 2nd and then had the weekend again which was nice. Doing Dry January again which worked out nicely last year. I think it's good to have a bit of a break after the holidays with all of the over indulgence. Going to try and be a bit more mindful with healthy eating, less sugar and all of that as well. Let's see how it goes. 

Today just having a quiet day inside. Watching the Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Day concert I recorded, drinking tea and eventually will finish reading my book. Reading "People We Meet On Vacation" in anticipation of the Netflix movie that's coming out. About halfway done with the book and so far I really like it. 

And tomorrow it's back to work and back to reality with everyone back after the holidays. It's also the start of review season which is always a busy time. Let's see what 2026 brings.
