No bottles to clean up this year.
I did pack up my tree, decorations and did the last deep clean of the year to welcome in the new.
The t.v. was brought back into the living room. During the great sick of 2023 it was kind of nice having it in the bedroom and having the boys of Ancient Aliens lull me into sleep.  That was something I was glad to revisit when I moved into my place was to not have a television in my room.  I had plans to get my sleep back without the use of media and start meditating again.  Well, Audible had another plan for me and now I fall asleep listening to different sempiternal worlds of war, love, kingdoms and the anti-hero.

I started the first of a 8 book series.  My daughter said she was going to start it and I loved the 5 book series that I had read of hers before so I was excited to start this one.  This book isn’t as nearly as detailed as the ACOTAR series and so far there wasn’t any anxiety like the first book.  I think SJM had traumatized us all with the giant worm in that first series and is going easy on us.  There are 8 books so I am sure it will get worse…which is the most exciting part.

The first day of the year is usually spent outside, but I am in love with my place and the quiet coziness of it.  Today I am going to make some pancakes and then go get the office in better shape.  There are boxes that I need to go through and decide if it’s worth keeping or if I am going to use this giant trash container to rid myself of it.  Life is short, get rid of the fucking boxes that were handed down to you that are just taking up space.
I was looking up “minimalist cozy.”  It was not the look I want, but it’s the idea and maybe I will be able to create it.  Right now my place feels like peace, warmth and very intimate.  It is becoming exactly what I want.

Happy New Year everyone.
