2026 Project 365 – Week One

Ah! A fresh new year, filled with the same old bull$hit. I’m a little het up about our new unprovoked war. In addition to an unsanctioned military action and all the terrible fallout that will arise, I know two people whose travel plans were affected by grounded planes.
Sunday, December 28th           
We had our 41st Friendsmas today. It was a lovely time with some of my oldest friends.

Monday, December 29th         
Just me being a menace while mall walking. I’m getting quite a nice collection of “statement” t-shirts!


Tuesday, December 31st       
I stopped by dad & Sue’s and checked out their new TV console – with fake fire insert! I was VERY SKEPTICAL, but I think it looks pretty nice. 
 

Wednesday, December 31st         
I caught a cold and ditched the New Year’s Eve party that I was planning to go to. Dr. M & I stayed in and watched Independence Day. This scene always has me sobbing – oof.
 

Anyway, I was in bed by 10:00 and hardly roused at all when I heard what might have been gunfire or fireworks at midnight (we live out in the country so it’s a tossup either way).
 
Thursday, January 1st
A lovely lowkey day where I actually cleaned our floors for the first time in a while. The only photo I have is a screenshot of my BeReal 2025 mood board. Ha!
 

Friday, January 2nd           
Back at work, and still with a cold, so I masked up while meeting with an employee. It took me a minute to remember how to tie the strings tighter (cause I got a little head) and make sure it was snug enough to not fog up my glasses. My only problem was that the mask is really too big for my face (the aforementioned little head) and it kept creeping up into my eyes.
 

Saturday, January 3rd    
Last night on my way home from my dad’s my car started making a weird thumping noise, so I left it in the CVS parking lot and asked my dad if I could borrow his car until we sort it out. He came & rescued me (thanks Dad!) and I finally made it home after I had taken him back home. Today I went to pick him up so we could move the car to his house until we get an appointment with the mechanic. He drove it from CVS & thinks it might be the drive train or transmission. Oof. On the other hand, Dr. M went to take care of his dad and got to see sheep on the way home!
 

I’m still kind of sick – I have a little cough and apparently a lot of drainage because I kind of sound like I could sing bass tomorrow at church. And it’s a big day tomorrow – choir practice, the service, a potluck, a meeting with a regional UCC representative, and then an installation service for our new associate pastor – at which I am supposed to read. So! Some good vibes appreciated!
