Sunday – 1/1/2017 – Happy New Year

PG, tks for pic of your crew – what a pawsome purry trio! Plus I could now for sure recognize you in a crows – not! 😉

Re new year and new rent. Don’t know if this would work for you but I always check the going rent increase rate and nonetheless “discuss” with my landlord lowering his asking price some. Never get that much of a reduction. My point is that next year increase will start at a lower rent so it helps. I am a good tenant so landlord is willing to compromise. Peeps ask me why I don’t just own. Not for me, plus landlord lets me take care of any repairs and then pays. Plus just don’t want to.

Streets are basically empty. Gym opens at 11:45 but there is reg spin class. Ideally with reg instructor as last wk, well it was the guy with whom there is mutual dislike, plus hate his class. Better than nothing and so not the end of the world.

This is time of yr when gym must make big bucks. Lots of peeps “resolved” to work out regularly. This generally lasts 1-3 mos. It’s just interesting. When I do everything req’d to take optimal care of self and become purrfect (if this is even pawsible,) well … not likely happening anytime soon.

Enough philosophy. Looking forward to getting back into reg routine (then I’ll complain about that!) And getting back to paying project. Would have been nice to work on it now during quiet period, but guy I’m working for/with is so not handling it well, and nothing that I can do about it. *Sigh*

Anyway it’s bright and very winter-esque outside, said to be getting way cold later in wk. One just has to dress for it. So headed on out soon and have a good day all and l8r!

Happy New Year everyone! Stayed up a little later last night so slept in today.
Yesterday I went to see “Rogue One” with my brothers and nephews. Then went to mom’s and celebrated Christmas. It works out well since my brother is with his wife’s family for Christmas, and I have hubby’s family up. Mom wins out by having 2 Christmases celebrated with her; my brother and sister are with her then. Came home and watched the “Twilight Zone” marathon for a while, toasted the new year by eating 12 grapes at midnight, watched a little snow fall outside, watched some more tv, then turned in for the night.
It’s a pretty winter day here too, KJ, but probably not as cold as where you are. The JJ crew are sunning themselves, and Leela has claimed the wood burner as her own!

Convenient that the power was out while you were not home, KZ. We don’t have water when the power is out either, and rely on the heat from the wood burner as well. In the summer it’s not as bad because it’s light longer and we can get water from the lake to flush the toilet, but the living is tougher in the winter for sure!

Max is lovely.

How could your forget Leonard Cohen? I went several times to the vigil outside his little house on Parc du Portugal; there was always a little crowd singing, leaving tributes, telling stories.

Too much snow here but it isn’t very cold.

Livia finds the snow very annoying and doesn’t want to set foot on the balcony.

Happy New Year and happy 375th to Montréal.

Very good day in the world of football, hoping for a Green Bay win next.
Forgot to mention earlier, thanks for the pic of your babies, PG!
