: I have prayed for you. You are loved.

It's been very busy here, there's little snow after last year's record-breaking event. Hibernations are delayed in the animal populations that do so. Consequently, there are many more creatures needing medical care from colds, pneumonias, injuries (imagine American Gridiron Football being played, wolverines against badgers, with no pads, no helmets and a football-shaped rock...get my drift?) I won't go on and on about over-indulgence during the Yule Feasts and such.

Weldon and I did manage to take a break and spent New Years Eve and today down in the big city in the Central Valley with my Author and his wonderful family. There were the usual illegal aerial fireworks and automatic assault-weapon gunfire, but here's the kicker....It only lasted for about an hour. Last year it started in the afternoon and lasted well into the early morning. This year...it was almost creepy, as if it were an omen....the noise stopped about one o'clock. Silence in the city. Like a switch had been thrown.

A portent? A sign from the Maker?

I go home tomorrow. I hope it snows soon.

Happy New Year my darlings.

That happened here as well, mine expected to hear a barrage of noise... and yet only a few hour's worth on the 31st.

Mine would be wary of announcements of peace.

Happy New Year sweets :) It is already the 2nd and I am still in a bit of disblief that is is a new year.

hahaha this is the first year I heard nothing .The day started ssoooo early I fell 😴 asleep. ya I need to get used to writing 2024! wow thanks for the tickets and my soft snuggle time with all the gifts and love. This year I will be more objective with soooo much going on in my families!! Love support with confidence ❤️ Please tell me if you have any positive changes for yourself?!!!??

Another prospective opportunity to make improvements. One thing mine is doing to curb mine online time is to keep mine phone off until midday. This can work as long as mine can keep up with it.

Mine could do things like work on mine car, or a routine of chores. Tho mine car needs parts to make any work time consuming. Mine need to set mine sight on the goal, as well as the short term steps.

Mine need to make a few changes to avoid recurring payments. Mine can no longer use some without a reliable connection.

You've been in my thoughts a lot, and I'm praying all is well with you. Please forgive me for missing your mama's remembrance day. My heart goes out to you. <3

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! How's it treating you so far?HUGS

hey good compromises! See you thought of something really good that could work for you!(((hug)))

No need to apologize.

One day at a time.

29 degrees....GET ME OUTTA HERE! XD

LOL @ your HA!!

- burrrr 29 degrees where you are? So glad it's not that cold here...I just had to open up the house because something burned in the oven...no flames but yikes the smell...and smoke...

South. Be careful over there!!

Mine take 40°C any day. That's when mine complain about cold.

Y'all remind me to throw snowballs..been EXTEMELYbusy trying to get the hospital to do the right things for my dad and my brother

Mine still struggling to do what's right. Mine need reminding that only when mine won't get back up, then it won.

Until mine get an upgrade, this will be a lifelong fight.

like you said..one day! Each one is new n shiny n its ok that not all of them turn out perfect..right?! You have the good idea...maybe let yourself have an extra hour here or there.

yikes..been there FREAKS OUT about fires all my life and have burned MORE than my share things heehee..facepalm

wow what liquid pools your eyes are * blind blink blinks at their beauty*

heehee I need to make the humans do my bidding....

Humans...yeah.

Got a brief favor for a cousin, she asked mine to shell a small amount of pecans. Mine more than willing to oblige, she loaned some eating money about a week ago.

- Thinking of you today...hope all goes smooth with your family. Your HA is so pretty :)

oh...snowballs...how does anyone get that achievement? it seems so slow...I've been working on achievements lately though getting through some food achievements...and wardrobe. At some point they all get so expensive.

Yeah, that snowball achievement is a bear. I pretty much forget to even throw them.

Missed a day at the bathhouse...again.

Maybe mine should also remove that from mine routine until mine can stabilize better online use.

Time to start shelling pecans, lunch is served when it stews for another half-hour.
