The First


So it's January 1, 2025.  Still here after a calamitous 2024 braving a heart attack, a stroke. and numerous falls, now with a new trophy, this scar on the right side of my face that will be my identifiable mark permanently.  In that fall that also included damage to my teeth I have a large space to be filled in by a partial.  Eating has required some strategy since this happened on October 1st.  Need to get over my aches and pains from the falls and old age and soldier on.  I wanted to feel renewed today, but am not.  

We are about to enter an era of new leadership with Donald John Trump being sworn in as our 47th president on January 20th, a mere 19 days away.  America will have to deal with he and his team of politicians and cohorts that include the richest man in the world.  This is what our country wanted as measured by the Electoral College.  He has been absolved of most of his legal sins, the details of which will soon be transferred to the dustbin of history.  

listening to the whir of the washing machine and the cooking activities from up stairs,  I am somewhat calmed.  Judy is out with Harry taking a walk around the neighborhood and my French toast breakfast is complete.  

Not much left in the fridge but I have the makings for Mac n Cheese. 

Katey came over last night to ring in the new year with her brother and his family.  I went to bed at 10:30 not interested in the revelry.  The Writers Workshop will again convene on January 8th.  I look forward to the occasion.

thats it

all for now
