January

A slow start to the New Year. Fixed myself a simple meal and was in bed at 9 p.m. with the help of the 2 Mimosas. The month seems to be dominated by Amber's baby and the changes she has wrought.

I have company for a week or two which enhances the joy of watching movies and cooking and even the mediocre errands of the occasional trip to Wildberries. Sharing the abundance from the fridge and freezer is also 'trippy'.

Living each day as it comes along and trying to make progress with the landscaping, dealing with storage issues and settling into my new phase as a Humboldt 'country' hippie.
