batskeetsWell, things didn't *quite* go pitch-perfectly last night--the short version: I still suck at time management, and moving more than three people to a new location is like herding cats--but nothing catastrophic happened. I had good times in several locations, the evening ended on a good note, and I did get to see many of my most beloved people, even if it wasn't for as long as we'd have liked.
There are things that weigh on my mind, today (but then again, when don't they?), but I have to say: on the whole, Jan 1st has treated me *far* better today than it did in 2010.
I woke up at a reasonable hour, feeling happy, and with no sign of hangover, which is the direct opposite of last year. I had a low-key brunch at the house with a few of my favorite people. <3 I dashed off to Alyson's annual New Year's Day clothing swap afterwards, and actually found shoes in the pile that fit my gigantic feet, for the first time ever. I came home feeling run-down, but still had a nice, meandering chat with roommates. And, my body has surprised me by not giving me a full-blown case of Teh Sick after drinking last night! Still not feeling 100%, but at least I have *some* hope of fighting it off.
Overall, I'm fairly shocked that the holiday season was relatively angst-free, compared to previous years. Yeah, last year was particularly awful, so that makes for a pretty startling comparison, but even in years prior to that, things still never felt all sunshine and primroses.
Anyhoo, I'm tired and I'm editing, and I wish I were reading a book and sleeping, instead. But, it's okay. It'll all be fine in the end.
