Greetings MyLotters! It was a fairly busy day for me as I took my mom to Baton Rouge for a CT scan. We were on time and they were too. They called her back for her scan just as soon as I finished checking her in. I picked up Chinese food on the way home. I thought that would be a regal way to usher in the New Year with "no cooking!" We are not going anywhere or doing anything special tonight for the big occasion. I don't even have festivities on the television tuned in. Instead, I'm watching Oak Island. So how are you ringing in the New Year? Party? Fireworks at home? Dinner out? Stay safe and Happy New Year to all of you! Photo: Pixabay, public domain

@rebelann I was still awake as I read when I go to bed. Depending on how sleepy I am or the volume on the snoring from hubby, I'm up for another 10 minutes to a couple of hours.

@LadyDuck I agree! That is especially important if you have to go back to work. I know my hubby was a bit tired this morning and he rested all day yesterday.

@kareng In my opinion the best way to start a new year, resting.

@just4him It wasn't so much the day, but I had leg cramps the night before and didn't get to sleep until after 3:30 am.

@kareng I've always stayed up until midnight. Tradition. I'm sure you were tired after your full day.

Nothing special here. My husband went out to pick up a pizza and we just relaxed at home. Went to bed at our usual time.

Thanks! I went to bed. I didn't sleep well the night before so I hit the sack around 11 pm or earlier. We are having a quiet day at home here!

We're just sitting here per usual, getting sleepier and sleepier. We watched a couple of old dramas on Youtube and yup, had some snacks. Happy New Year to you and your Mom.
