Today was great from start to finish. Well, I'm not finished yet, but it's still a great day. Happy New Year! I'm thankful I stayed up to welcome the new year. I'm thankful I texted everyone on my contact list and wished them a Happy New Year at midnight. I surprised a couple of people who were also awake at that hour. I'm thankful for the open house I had today. I had ten people total here today. That's a win. I still have a lot of food left. I'm thankful for the surprise in my bank account this morning. I got paid early.

Okay, that's my day. It was awesome! I'm looking forward to a wonderful 2022. I hope you are too. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

I'd forgotten you had my phone number. Pretty laughed at me after you told me who you were.

I'm almost always up at midnight. I like playing on myLot late at night/early in the morning so I can catch my Indian, Filipino and Malaysian friends here.

Somebody needs to tease the crap out of them, you know...

Sometimes you aren't very nice.

Oh, thank you. Somebody has to do it, so it might as well be me having fun.

I'm glad I gave Pretty something to laugh at you about.

You do a great job teasing people no matter what time zone they're in. Keep up the good work.

@just4him I’m thankful nobody phoned me at midnight to wish me a happy new year - I was asleep by 9pm I was so tired!

Same as you, we were both tired, we went to sleep. I turned off the phone, just in case, but no one called, we received the message the first day of the year.

@just4him To be honest I had a horrible sleep, because we could hear the fireworks coming from Italy, we are so close to the border.
