Picked up CMM’s ashes and death certificates yesterday. Closed his phone account yesterday, have an appointment with his bank today. Got my Xmas tree down and out to the curb. House still needs some more cleaning but is coming together. I’m getting a lot done during this week off and it feels good to be going into the new year with some semblance of order. I’m glad I left my afternoons free in January, as it will give me a chance to finish things up and relax a bit. Hoping maybe next week to use my new carpet cleaner.
Every year around New Years I take a little time - sometimes with my best friend - to write goals for the year in a journal. Some are plans, some just aspirations. Not everything comes to fruition, but it’s always surprising how writing things down often helps them to manifest in my life.
I think I’ve found a good use for our new Star Wars Instapot - we are planning to make some red beans and rice, apparently you can cook the beans in two hours in the Instapot!
