Preps for New Years

storytimewithjoeThe brightest point of the evening last occured upon my tumble onto the couch after finishing the tasks of the day.
Workwise, I had a productive day.
Yoga-wise, it became painfully obvious that I had not stretched in a week - owie!
Workout-wise, I sweat like a total pig (no comments, boys!).
And then when all was said n' done, I hit the grocery-store to pick up everything I will need for the New Year's party. While in the store, I downed two Sobe Green Teas. I guess I really DID work up a sweat.
I have no idea why, but for some odd reason, I tend to run at one of two speeds - 100 miles an hour, or asleep. As much as I would like, I cannot seem to get into "relaxing" the way that other people do. I just get too fidgety. Maybe it is some form of A.D.D. Maybe it is just my desire to physically "do" or make use of my time. I cannot sit down and read a book like normal people do. My mind wanders. I start to shake and fidget. I think about other things. And then, I reread the same line 2 or 3 times. Le Sigh.
For a change, I find myself actually looking forward to the New Year's party. Typically, I find it to be a chore that I do to support my honey's wishes. But this year has been different. Somehow, the holidays have been more low-key and less-stressful - thus more enjoyable. I actually look forward to the preps, and to seeing people. I will see friends that I haven't seen in ages, and others that I see regularly. Add champagne to the mix, and it'll be a blast. Most of all, I look forward to saying, "don't let the doorknob hit ya' in the ass!" to 2005. What a crapola year! Devestating hurricanes, killer tsunamis, disease, poverty, government dis-trust, etc., etc. Please Gods, may 2006 be a year of healing and recovery! I don't care if it is quiet. I don't care if it is mostly uneventful. Just please given the planet and human-kind some peace.
