A Brand New Year 2016

Well, the new year has started out sort of like an oxymoron.  Is that how you spell it?

So many people have died.  So many.  It's not even close to the end of January.  I can figure around 50 animals and people have passed.  What a party is going on in heaven right now.  People I actually know,  people that have changed history, people who have made such a huge difference in this world, actors and musicians that the world loved and never thought would leave this world.  I have become numb and can't even say "I am so sorry for your loss" anymore.  Not even for my own loss.
January always has huge changes.  It seems like it is always the longest month of the year for me as well.  I actually like how it takes so long to get to February.  I have to remember one great thing about January is -  that - it is the beginning of the Awards season.

This year is our Election for President and The Summer Olympics.  Pretty big events to look forward to.

I lost my glasses.  The first time ever loosing my glasses and ...... at the DEQ getting my registration renewed.  I spent an exhausted amount of time looking for them. They have never showed up.
I now have new glasses from this company in Pasadena.  Really affordable.  There is a problem right now though.  This is one of the reasons I don't like ordering online but the company seems to be legit and so I am getting the problem taken care of.  I hope.
They sent me the wrong frames.  They are letting me keep the wrong frames as a backup and I am waiting for the correct frames.
I have always wanted round frames and now I finally have them.  And they are not $200.00 to get them either.  I also have a Red Tint which I have never had before.
So.........maybe there was a reason for loosing my glasses.  I have to say, I like the new glasses better than the ones I lost.  So that is one good thing that has come out of January so far.

I am grateful for the life I have (at the moment).
I have reorganized my home.  Let go of some things, cleaned up and renewed.  Going to the gym and feeling great about it.  Need to work on better eating habits though.  Let go of so much oil, and sodium.   Volunteering, trying to be more social, communicating with family more and looking forward to lists of what to do on a daily basis.  Still working on understanding my Beast Cat.

Already been turned down for an acting job.  Didn't even get a chance to audition.  Show Was precast.  But at least I know that this year MIGHT be a good year for jobs for me. Been seeing some really good theatre so far.  Makes me happy. 

Another great thing for this month  -  Bought a new camera.  Love it.  Took some time figuring it out.  It's a digital Metallic Red and just what I was looking for.  Keeping my old camera as back up.  Love my old camera too much to let go.  Got it from MFW about ten years ago during "The Underpants". 

Great new hair cut.

Have to buckle down and do some more knitting for my Etsy shop.
