HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
Tandy and I spent the evening having a lovely visit. Her poor voice is all croaky and she is coughing too. But we were so immersed in our conversation we didn't even know that twelve o'clock came and went. Kevin is downtown with friends at the game cafe. He will be in heaven…playing the new year in with board games.
I went out this morning to do the shopping for dinner tonight. Half way through Costco I thought I had best get hold of Dorothy to let her know that we are all coughing our lungs up and they just may want to steer clear of us right now. And they did just that. We will post pone our dinner to a healthier date.
So, now for the resolution. After perusing a jillion more suggestions, I finally figured out one of my own. Piano. I am going to spend a half hour minimum on the piano every day I am at home and no company. I am going to sort out all the old pieces I need to practise, one at a time, and pick a new one to work on at the same time. That way I can work on two pieces everyday. I am looking forward to it. I love playing the piano and I have lots of new stuff to go through. And when you finish (whatever that means) a piece, you have to play it at least once everyday to keep it up. So my half hour might become longer. Now when people come to visit they will have to sit through a mini concert!
I have made the reservations for my trip to Vancouver next week. I went to the bank the other day to deposit a cheque from the government for 'the Estate of William Heyman' They said it couldn't go into his normal account and when they found out he had died and I hadn't been in to tell them yet they got really mad. Threatened to freeze all the accounts. Jeez! then I got mad. So I went out to the car and phoned the lady who signed us all up at Edgemont in North Van. And I couldn't believe it but she answered the phone! She calmed it all down and I am going in to see her next week.
And that means, hopefully, a lunch with Claire and Tish!!!! So Claire if you are reading this, I shall be calling and setting up a lunch date! I would love to see you two again. Probably on Thursday if possible. I will call.
Now its time for bed. My coughing is getting stupid. My ribs and stomach hurt from it. TTYL
Perfect resolution! I may pick that one as well. My piano has been collecting dust.
ReplyDeletePiano all around? That was going to be mine too... I'm still pretty new to it myself and I got a way from it a bit over the past few months. I also might take some actual real lessons, as till this point I am self taught and probably developing a tonne of bad habits! But I'm enjoying it and that's what counts right? :)
ReplyDeleteMy other resolution is to get over there for a visit!
Happy New Year!! Glad you had a good holiday!
