Merry New Year!

So 2021 is thankfully gone, but not before taking Betty White away from us on the VERY LAST DAY of the year.  And just days before her hundredth birthday, too.  That's some real spite, folks.  Oh, and there was a tornado warning around here later that same day.  Just dandy.  (I'm fine, though; thanks for asking.)

On the positive side, my new mouse has arrived from Amazon.  The old one wasn't clicking very reliably, so it was time to get a new one.  I think it was five years old.  Anyway, it was a fine mouse until it got old and the contacts got imprecise, so I replaced it with the exact same model, a corded Amazon Basics version.  Eight bucks and change, and now I'm clicking like a boss, at least for the next five years or so.

It was unseasonably warm the past several days, but now winter is returning.  There's a bunch of wind right now, and there's some blue stuff (freezing rain?) heading this way on the Doppler radar.  That's good, though, because warm winter temperatures are a good way to have a false spring, and then a late freeze kills all the flowers, and that just sucks.  I like spring flowers, dadgummit.

I'm really hoping that my body cooperates with me this year.  I'd love to get in better shape, and I'd love to have enough energy to actually do a good bit of writing.  Its been nearly two years since I last published, and that's just not acceptable.

In the meantime, I hope you, dear reader, had a nice holiday season, and I hope you have a great 2022, assuming events beyond our control don't interfere like they have for the past two years.

Merry New Year!  :D
