PORCH PONDERINGS

Here's to a New Year. Bring it On!

Let me first say how glad I am to get December out of the way.

Holy cow. What a bunch of horse puckey this month has been. I have the worst cold in the world. Now I don't ever get sick. Ever. I'm sure the emotional and physical stress of traveling by train is the cause of this.

I don't know if COVID had/has any part in this. I didn't go get tested. So go ahead judge me. I've been called a 'f-in bitch' already by a person on the train from Portland to California because I didn't get vaccinated. I was told I would be the downfall of civilization. Now that is an awful accusation. So again, go ahead and judge me. Then again I was called out by a person on my return trip from Portland to Havre. Whatever. again, a big accusation. Such anger in the world right now.

Then I had the worst time ever with my family. The graduation of my grandson was amazing. The Marines do a good ceremony. I treasure that in my heart forever. But the rest of the time? I want to bury it forever.

Okay, so, now I am home. Sick. In the cold and barren wasteland that is my life. Gosh, I want to be on a desert island somewhere. Alone.

I am glad it is December 31st. So now I can start over tomorrow. Bury the past. Start over. Literally start over.

To all of those with family problems. I understand.
