happy new and improved year

What's new besides the year? Well, I found out that my feet swell when I sit in an outdoor hot tub for forty minutes when it's threatening to snow. I also found out that it's pretty fun to sit that way. That's new.

We bought a couch today. That's new. And exciting. I'll take a photograph tomorrow so you can see the glorious new addition to the living room. It's new and it's lovely. New.

I put chair covers on our "dining room" chairs. They're fifties chairs with red enamel seat and back but chrome-ish legs. Now they're red fabric. Mmmmm. Red is gooood. Red like candy red and has semi-subtle embroidery on the bottom. They need ironing. That's not new. But the cover are new. Oh yes.

Spring's birthday was on the moment of New Year's Eve and it extends throughout the month. Her vet records say DOB: 1/0/98. That's not new but it is wacky. But she's six now. That's new. And she still hates having her toenails clipped.

More not new things? There are lots. And that's good. I wouldn't want to get completely turned upside down at the beginning of the new year. Unless it was a good party.

Happy New Year. It's new.
