Sadly just watching TV and toasting my cat with Pepsi. 😂

Same question, any New Years traditions.

Well, I traditionally either fall asleep or am nearly asleep on NYE (it's my best night of falling asleep all year) when I am awakened in a fright because people shoot off guns at midnight (or whenever they remember). I could do without.

Are you going to have much warmer temperatures this weekend?

Nope, no traditional food what ever that is for New Years. Just another day. Even back in the day when I went out there was no food associated with this day.

This is interesting I never knew there was any food associated so, same question. Do you eat a traditional new year’s meal?

A: My dad likes to make black eyed peas, cabbage, and cornbread -- he said it's the traditional meal you eat on new year's day. I am not a big fan lol.

Q: What is your specialty dish / family recipe / favorite meal / or favorite traditional cuisine ?

We eat pork and sauerkraut. I can't eat sauerkraut with my MAOI so I only taste it (I love it so I miss eating it).

Do you prefer real books or digital?

I posted just after you, sorry.

My best dish I make is meatloaf. I know that's a pretty easy thing to make but I have this recipe that only works for me and it's pretty good.

Do you prefer real books or digital?

It was so so so. Neither fantastic nor sad.

What makes you lose track of time?

A: Video games. I swear I’ll do one minor thing, blink and 3-4 hours have passed.

Q; Do you have siblings? If not, do you wish you had some? If yes, where in the hierarchy do you stand ?

I sometimes do internet stuff. Often also take a drink of water. Unless I'm slightly on the "up" end, mood-wise, I fall asleep quickly afterwards.

What is your favorite part of the day, and why?

around sunrise. It's when I get to go out and run (except in winter when it's too cold then I wait until it warms up a bit or just do an indoor exercise). I've always been a morning person except on certain meds.

What's your favorite day of the week and why?

Yes, I have! When I was a very little girl I owned a train set. It was made from probably cast iron, so still the old-fashioned, heavy kind, not the plastic children play with today. The locomotive was wonderful! Somehow, something that looked like smoke would come out of the chimney, the headlamp lit up, and it would chug along really well as it pulled the train. My sister, who was much older than I, would help me arrange the track. Sometimes we would tie a troll to the track and the train would run into the troll and derail. Horrible, I know- but we were copying cartoons, and we thought it was terribly funny! I loved my train, loads of fun.

What was the first thing you did on this new year's day?

your trainset sounds wonderful!. I used to live near someone who had one like that. he loved trains, in fact he even had his own steam train (real one)

first thing I did on new year's day was watch the fireworks and the clock strike midnight
what are you doing in 2023 that is new, and that you didn't do last year

I'm using a "word of the day" to help me focus on some areas I want to improve. I have to keep it limited to a few things though or I'll just wind up panicked.

Do you prefer to dress for winter or summer?

Summer. I hate the extra work of getting coats, mittens, hats and scarves out then to put on, and then getting over heated in stores and having to go back out in the cold. ( shudder)

What was the last show you binge watched?

Usually right on time, or early. I think being late is rude.

Do you have someone else you are taking care of?

I've helped with errands for family members, cooked and cleaned for them, taken them to the doctor, but I've never been a full time caretaker for someone.

If you had to choose between a mountain cabin or a beachside cottage, which would you choose and why?
