Happy New Year 2018!
I remembered to say "Rabbits" right at midnight. Yay! Need this to be a better year than last year. Was a very bittersweet year, with losing my dad in January and my brother's bad accident in February, dealing with the ups and downs of selling my dad's house and then the very disappointing trip across the country to California with the Jeep issues. But then things turned around once I got to California. Traded the bad Jeep for a good Jeep, started school for Hypnotherapy, bought a house, and finished school last week!
This year I want to focus on fixing up the house and yard, start my new career as a hypnotherapist, explore SoCal more, and maybe buy a little camper. Also thinking of getting a dog...
I was woken up at 5am by coyotes yipping just outside the house. I got up to check it out and saw the back porch was lit up (no lights back there) and when I looked out the window, I realized it was from the full moon! Didn't see any coyotes tho.
This morning I had one of the handymen come by and bring in the boxes of wood laminate flooring that needs to get "acclimated" to the indoors for a few days before getting put down. They are extremely heavy so needed a big strong guy to bring them in for me. Will be so happy to get that all done and get my furniture! Then I will take one room at a time to finish painting and updating. May have a house warming party in the spring.
Got up early to watch the Rose Parade too. Just love seeing all the beautiful floats!
I think several of us have had a challenging year, so am hoping you all have a better, calmer 2018!
