Welcome to the new year--brought in with a bang. The neighbors set off fireworks last night--sounded like mortar rounds slamming into the house. MD woke up and was wondering what all the hammering was about--she didn't connect the noise with the celebration.

Its been a cold welcome to the newest of years--temperatures have been in the 30s last night and into the day. The heater has been working almost around the clock now for several days--this month's bill will be nasty.

Will pull together MD's word list for the week--it is an odd set of words. Will print them off tomorrow--I should look into getting a printer to replace my defunct home unit. It has never worked since I moved here--it didn't weather the journey. But using the copy shop is not all that expensive--and the print quality is the best.

1/1/16: How will it fare--what will it reveal?

My FitBit gets fooled by my sitting and using the phone or computer--It thinks I'm asleep during those periods. Once the fireworks were done last night--I nodded off for nearly 6 hours. I added a couple more hours this morning--plus as few spurious records when I was on the phone/computer.

Well onward and upward into the new year--and a giant leap forward without trauma.
