Chuck and I stayed home this year to celebrate our blessings of the past year and look forward to the blessings of the new year. We had a nice, relaxing evening after Nicky went to bed; we watched the Monk Christmas show, ate fancy cheese and toasted the new year with sparkling cranberry juice. We finished it off with Ben and Jerry’s ice cream before we went to bed. Of course, the next morning, Nicky was awake before 7, which is very unusual for him. We took advantage of the early rising and put away all of the Christmas decorations 
until next year. I can’t believe how big our living room is now!
Nicky seemed to go right back into his schedule; he went right to sleep around 9pm last night, and he’s waking up now, around 8am, so I’m very happy! Chuck is back at work, and I’ve got to work tonight from 5-9. This is my last Wednesday for a while, then I’ll just be working Mondays 5-9. Yippee!
