Welcome 2007!!!!

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to the last day of 2006.   I hope it`s been a good day for you all one way or another. For me it`s been one of those day`s where I should have stayed in bed. You`ve all heard the saying `my get up and go has got up and gone`? Well mine didn`t even arrive today so it didn`t get the chance to leave...lol!  I`ve had no energy all day. It started out as a unremarkable Sunday though I did sleep an hour longer which was most likely the problem. I always without fail (excepting for famine or flood) do the ironing in the morning. Nothing wrong there because that`s what I do. But I have to say that there were powers conspiring against me this morning.  However I tried something happened to stop me. I cleaned up the kitchen after breakfast and was about to go upstairs when I remembered something that had to be taken out of the fridge...and as I opened it a jug of cream toppled over and covered me from head to foot...and the floor...and the entire contents of the fridge......ahhhh!

         

Of course that wasn`t the end of it. I loaded the washing machine and found out an hour later that I`d forgotton to turn it on. The new ironing board cover came off and try as I might I couldn`t get it to stay on again, try as I might.  I did eventually get the ironing done despite having to clear up the milk that Danny spilt all over the kitchen floor and the cream that I spilt AGAIN, can you believe it?  Like I said there`s a conspiracy against me today...lol!

 

                             

I suppose it hasn`t really been that bad when put in context but this morning I just couldn`t get going and it seemed awful at the time. Oh well I shouldn`t grumble, I`ve got my health....apart from the arthritis in my hands well I could write a book....SHADDUP Sandra, you said you mustn`t grumble!!!!

              

Anyway, it`s New Years Eve but we aren`t going anywhere and most likely won`t see 2007 in. Jim has an early shift tomorrow and has to be up at 4.30am and I`m looking forward to a good nigh`t sleep to get my energy back. From people I`ve spoken to it seems that many of them won`t be out celebrating either. Even Kerry, Slava, Dan and Salina will be staying in tonight. I think perhaps it`s because everywhere is so expensive on New Years Eve. Everything has to be booked in advance and all the cabs charge double time so perhaps that puts people off. About 10 years ago Jim, myself and some friends used to dress up in evening dress and tuxedos for a night at the Polish Club nearby. We all had a great time there downing Polish vodka ( very, very strong) and dancing the polka despite not being able to dance, mind you I did say the vodka was very strong...lol! I can`t remember exactly why we stopped going but I have very fond memories of the marvellous New Year celebrations that we enjoyed there.

                               

Anyway, I want to wish you all, my dear journal friends, the very happiest of New Years. Take care and I`ll be back again next year. :o)
