Greys & Things

I will not be going to the coffee house today.  I found out yesterday afternoon that the office I work for will be open today after all.  I have worked on New Year’s Eve before and I have found it not to be productive, but I need to work and make any money that I can.  Honestly, I was looking forward to having the day off.  I will be off the next four days, so I’m happy about that.  I will try and make it to the coffee house on Friday.

My husband is working today and tomorrow, so no New Year’s Eve plans for us.  I fixed us a nice dinner on Sunday night and called that our New Year’s Eve dinner.  I fixed grilled steaks, baked potatoes, cooked apples, salad and Texas toast.  It was very good.  We may have burritos tonight, but I am not sure yet.  My husband gets tired of burritos, but I love them.

I prefer to stay home on New Year’s Eve.  I think it stems from my childhood.  I get nervous being out around drinkers.  My uncles used to drink and then get in fights.  I clearly remember one night where they fought in our yard and one uncle knocked the teeth out of the other.  My Mom was screaming, my cousin was crying and my Dad was trying to break up the fight.

I don’t like being on the roads on New Year’s Eve.  These country roads can be dangerous enough without adding an impaired driver to it.  I know, you can get hit by an impaired driver at any time, but the chances go up on New Year’s Eve.  This is all my opinion, of course.

Happy New Year to you.  I hope you have a nice time celebrating.  It will be a regular night for us.  I will probably be in my warm bed by 9 p.m.
