Today is Sweetmorn, the 1st day of Chaos in the YOLD 3178
Yes, it's a whole new arbitrary division in timekeeping! (Well, the interval isn't arbitrary; the timing of the division between intervals is.)
In keeping with my New Year's Eve tradition, I went to bed around 10; unusually, I slept right through the commotion at midnight (though Joy, who was up all night, doesn't recall any commotion, so perhaps the neighbors were uncharacteristically quiet this year). While I'm not leading a group hike this morning, I suppose I'll go for morning walkies anyway, and include a hill so's I can pause at the top and gaze down upon the valley.
No resolutions this year; I never manage to keep the ones involving drinking and promiscuity anyway. I do, however, figure on shedding a few pounds in time for swimsuit season, even if this will reduce my ability to taunt the thin-blooded on winter mornings.
If you're using the Mayan calendar, remember to buy a new one by December, or you'll be late for work.
Update: went for morning walkies. Started about half an hour behind my usual weekday schedule, hitting the trail about 0755, at which time there was abundant parking. Encountered a few of the weekday regulars, some at their usual times and some an hour or so late. Went for what I think is about a 7-mile loop, with proper hills, returning to the car at 1005, by which time there was a waiting list for my parking space.
Woof. Longer hike than usual, with hills, at a decidedly fast pace. My legs are tired, and I'm actually feeling a tad cold, which suggests that maybe I depleted my glucose a bit, hooray. Now I haz had cheezburger, and I'm feeling inclined to attack some fresh fruit, and/or take a nap. (The nap is not on the agenda, as I have some yard work and programming to do today.)
Also, someone seems to have left an inside-out baby rat on my patio. Dunno who eats them that way; I don't think there are any dwarves in the neighborhood. Raccoon, maybe?
