New Years Day 2015


So much hype about changing to a new calendar.  I haven’t gone out to get properly drunk and social in at least five years, maybe more.  The older I get, the less I seem to care. 

My husband worked last night, as always; the only difference is that this time, he didn’t bother coming home until 11:30 this morning, gave no excuse for not coming home, and then went to bed.  I am so hoping that those are his first steps towards getting the fuck out of my house for good.

One of my teenagers went to a friend’s house, and the other one brought her friends here.  The younger ones who stayed at my house made their best effort to be excited about the “holiday”, but it was quite clear that none of them really cared.  New Years Eve was just a convenient excuse to binge on junk food and stay up into the wee hours of the morning. 

I tried to care, if only for the benefit appearances, but I don’t.  Watching the clock strike midnight last night simply meant that I could give up trying and go to bed. 


I won’t make any New Year’s resolutions, as I think they set people up for failure, but I will aim to make 2015 a better, happier year than 2014.  Shed some baggage, breathe a little easier – that’s all I really want.
