Expectations of New Year meaningfulness are pretty doomed, but often the unexpected brings light to the end of the tunnel and us optimists prefer not to think it is only the express train hurtling towards disaster... no, I won't think about it!!
Currently in the house we have one Mother-in-law (The Dreaded), one husbandy-thing, one guest (Josephine), one Cherry (still asleep) and Me! This is a unique and unre-creatable (or defendable word, according to spell check) arrangement of people and somehow it is working!
Soon, I will go and invite Cherry to wake to the New Year. We have had our smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with Bucks Fizz, so she will have to make do with her early morning Fresubin and a Fortisip, which is due. But some grapes and a drink and her Zoton will complete the 'meal' and we hope that she will make the most of our soon to be cooked Roast Dinner! I'd also like to get her out for a short walk by the sea, rain permitting. Then some serious writing and preparing for this first week of 2012.
From then on the feasting has to stop and some redistribution of weight and fitness will begin. This year it will happen, one way or another, and resistance is not only futile, but a waste of effort... so out with the resistance and on with the change. Nothing can stay as it was... and, mostly, we have NO idea what will take its place... so I hope I will be able to recognise and welcome it when it arrives. No more IFs, no more BUTs no more LATERs... it is already later... it is 2012 - Already!
