Happy New Year.....God how I despise that saying. The holidays, for me, have always been about people trying to hard to have a good time. Christmas is for little kids, New Year's is for amateurs and the start of a new year just reminds me of how old I'm getting , Scrooge and "Bah Humbug."
So, with the above being said I did get the little bit of Christmas stuff put away yesterday,except for the wreath on the door,and that's being put away tomorrow.
Christmas was odd this year.. Dez took me out the Thursday before for dinner and then left that night for Texas. He came home earlier then expected the following week and I went to lunch with him on Thursday after Christmas. Then for New Year's Eve he went to Arizona to be with his younger son. He called me a little while ago and he sounded as bored, depressed and alone as I am. Although I think it is better to be alone then to be with someone you don't want to be with just to be out.
Christmas Eve I had a friend bring me a cinnamon roll in the morning as a treat. Then my girlfriend came over and brought crackers and cheese and we had a drink together. I was planning on staying in on Christmas Eve, since I couldn't drive. I had a phone call from a couple and a ;man I know that wanted me to join them to listen to music and have a drink at a nice local restaurant. I told them I couldn't due to the fact I couldn't drive, but that didn't fly.
They said they would send a cab, which they did. I got home way to late but then they also invited me to their house for lunch the next day. I was picked up and taken to their house and then taken back home. I flew around changing clothes, as much as I could fly, to get ready to be picked up by other friends to take me to Laguna Beach to a Christmas dinner that one of my best friends always has at Christmas. She hosts almost forty people and this year it was a wonderful affair. The only trouble was I didn't get home until almost eleven p.m. and boy did I pay for my being out so many times.
My knee was swollen and I spent the following day in bed the whole day. I know this will pass, but since it is the third time for knee problems on the same knee and a second replacement it has not been fun.
I start physical therapy January 6th and hope this knee responds like I think it should I can at least walk a little without the cane. The can is Lucite, so I'm not stuck with one of those ugly brown things.Fashionista even crippled.
So all, I suppose I should say Happy New Year and I do wish all of you the best year yet.
