Day One is Complete

The problem with New Year's Day (NYD) is that I really don't feel like doing much because of the activity from the night before celebrating the arrival of the new year.

Chris and I broke the mold this year and actually accomplished a few things on NYD. 

Given that the day was warm we managed to get the Christmas lights down off the house. I felt that we needed to take advantage of the opportunity that the day presented to us. And, it really is not fun to take the lights down when it is cold and freezing.

Chris also swapped out the Christmas dishes. So we are back on the day-to-day dishes that we will use until Christmastime next year.

2019 is about to become like other years as I head off to work today, for the first day fo the year. Ugh. 

I would like to say the days are getting longer, but today will only be 4m 24s longer than the on the solstice. 

We will see what the day brings. Happy January 2nd.
