Time to Close out this Day

It's after 2 a.m. and I have had a good day on myLot. It was a great first day of the year, and I hope it will be followed by another 365 more days. I started out the day by watching the Rose parade, a tradition since I was little, then on here myLotting the rest of the day. I got caught up with my notifications and went to watch a movie. I woke to a song in my head and had to figure out not only the words but where I heard that tune. When I did, I put that movie in when notifications were finished - Annie - the original, and that ended, and still time on my hands, I was able to finish off a second round of notifications and hit the Explore link, not something I do very often because notifications usually take me until time to go to bed. I've read some good posts today and I hope you all have a good rest of the year and I will see you all back here later. Now it's time for me to put my shoes and coat on and go get my son from work and go to bed. Thanks for reading.

@just4him I decide what I am going to work on, go clear that out, but don't refresh the page, I just open a new one, then swap what I am working on. I did get the back log cleared up from posts now. back to catching up on a day to day basis

I wondered why so many people were up last night. I thought everyone was tired out from New Year's celebrating. I couldn't sleep because my folks are visiting and their cat went crazy. Hope you had a good night.

@mommaj Right now I'd like to take a nap, but then I would't be awake to take my son to work, so might take one after I take him to work. I got up earlier than I wanted to this morning, and found I couldn't go back to bed because someone was coming over.

I rarely have the occasion where I could stay beyond bedtime to be in mylot, this is because I have to wake up early the next morning to help prepare breakfast for the entire family and leave for work. That being said, I'd like to point out that while your people at your part of the planet may be trying to recover from holiday spirits we are the opposite rushing to finish our for the Chinese New Year, likened to your Thanksgiving n Christmas pre holidays.

@just4him Preparations like decor, snacks and shopping had started since December last year to avoid the last minute rush. Also there were a number of orders for our homemade snacks like pineapple tarts, cashew crisp, walnut cookies and mini shrimp rolls - so we have been preparing and selling them out to neighbors, co-workers and even children's classmates as well. Everyone chipped in to make out the orders in time, so now we are just taking a breather as the orders are being picked up or delivered. Presently preparations are underway for the family reunion feast and this year we are having my parents over for the grand dinner so nothing is left to chance.

I just recently read that Chinese New Year is February 7. I always thought it was February 1. Does it change every year? I also understand it's the year of the monkey.

@artemeis Thank you for sharing this with me. I didn't know what all was involved in Chinese New Year. I suppose you are getting all the food preparations ready for the festivities in a few days.

Your son works very late in the night (better early in the morning). Have a nice first night of the year.

Yes he does, second shift, and they vary his schedule so that he could start and quit almost any time. He told me this weekend he's working 9 PM to 5 AM. He hasn't done that in a long time. It will most likely be one of the last times he does those hours because he will be starting classes at college soon.

I can only get to it when I finish my notifications, which are usually enough to carry me through the day. I do like going there though to read those members I haven't read before.

Which song was it? I am getting a slow start here today, but it was worth it as I didn't get in til after 3:30am and still meditating on what I heard last night. (I watched the parade too while I was mylotting here)

It was the opening song of Annie when she's sitting in the window singing when the movie starts.

When I was in Wal-Mart last night, I saw the perfect night shirt for you - I am so not an AM person.
