Day 1 - New Start in These Foolish Things

Happy New Year! Happy 2025!

Happy to wake up to a fresh new year.

Saddened to wake up to the news of the truck barreling through the streets shooting in New Orleans. Man, what a dark shadow that’s going to cast on 2025. Fuck. This is why I never want to go to any crowded event anymore. So fucking sad.

I’ve already checked a bunch of things off my first day of 75 Hard: did my hour-long indoor workout, read my pages, did some manifestation/meditation, took my progress pics (also weighed myself - my holiday binges put 4.5 lbs back on my frame!), and I’m about to get dressed for my “Thrift Pic” and then walk the dog for a bit.

Then, I’m heading out to Lesbian Crush’s place for their New Year’s Day Brunch and Queer Crafting Session. Ahhh, I love these ladies/people/guys. Best convos and best laughs ever. These are some of the most wonderful people I’ve met here in town, and I’m grateful that they add me to their invite list every time. I still get confused about how to address people (they have us identify our pronouns and LC is pretty adamant about correcting me every fucking time, though I’ve caught her using the wrong pronouns before too - I just don’t say anything). It’s almost comical.

Anyway, need to get going. I am bringing a bottle of de-alcoholized wine and I want to bring a fruit salad (of which I haven’t made so I’ll have to run out to the grocery and pick one up).

2025 - so far so good, as long as we can STOP FUCKING SHOOTING EACH OTHER!!! FUCKS SAKE!

Hope your NYE was fun!
Happy New Year!
