OK, S. you can call me out on the New Years Eve thing. You are right - kinda. Truth is, I didnt have all that many choices, but I should have forced myself to do something.
I know you might be thinking I stayed home for h, but to tell you the truth, I dont think that was it. It was freezing here (7 below with the wind chill) and I was really tired. And I wanted to be home. Sometimes that is where I really want to be. Anyway, h is no fun on holidays. ( well, its the truth - he is an old soul who is very serious). And maybe I was kind of curious what would happen at 12 o'clock. But, this I promise, next year I will not be home - how about that?
Anyway, I like your idea about effort based actions. Hmm, once again, you gave me some things to think about and I thank you.
