Evie Day 656
Good morning! Today is the last day of 2024, and the birthday of my oldest daughter, Bonnie, who turns 28.
Bonnie has plans this evening… wouldn’t you if your birthday was New Year’s Eve? Lisa and I will have a cocktail and probably head to bed around ten or so, as is normal for folks in their 60s. We don’t go out much.
Yesterday was a very energetic day around here, with a lot of activity. Bonnie and her dog came over, Gracie and Evelyn were here for a big chunk of the day, and the rest of us were already here, so no real surprise there. It was a bit frenetic.
Today will have some activity, but not as much. I’m taking Bonnie out for lunch, as I often do with the kids on their birthdays. Sometimes it works, sometimes the kids have something else going on. Today, Bonnie and I will go to a local restaurant … I think “bonbon” is back open again, and it’s a cute place for a meal.
One thing I would offer up for my friends. I like to write. I haven’t always written – I went through a very long period of time when I did not. One of the interesting side effects of my ADD is rejection-sensitive dysphoria, and when my writing was mocked a very long time ago, I quit. It took me a long time to get past that, and start writing again. I wish I had not stopped, but I can’t do anything about that now. What I can do is keep a journal at hand and write things down when they pop into my head. Notes, numbers, drawings, whatever.
I won’t be writing tomorrow. I hope you all have a great New Year’s Eve, and I hope 2025 is peaceful and prosperous for all.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
