New Years Eve ... Welcoming the new year in with the sniffles. It has been a while ince I've been sick. I'm telling you I don't much like it. Dosing up on vitamin c and hoping it passes quickly.

I've continued with juicing although I'm not doing a juice fast ... Just juicing and eating well. Taking it a day at a time. Can't remember what I've shared here. DH has been in the process of changing his diet and wants to eat primarily vegetarian. He says he's committed to long term change so I'm trying to adapt my own WOE to incorporate something we can do together. It will be fine. I'm rather excited to have us on the same page with eating.

In the process I think I'm going to give up indulgence days ... Well at least in the way I've been utilizing them. I think an occasional feast day works for me but I tend to over due it. So for now ... More moderation I hope.

Don't know if I'll make it till midnight. DH, mom, and I are watching season 6 of The Closer. Exciting. Eh? Actually it's just about perfect. Can't think of anywhere else I'd rather be ... Well maybe on a tropical beach!

It's been a stressful day today. Our battery woes worsened. Discovered on of the batteries has failed. Fortunately our neighbor/handyman came up and temporarily patched us up. We need to buy new batteries ASAP. That's still to be figured out. In the midst of all this our daughter called us. She has Crohns and recently it's flared up. So she has been very sick lately. On top of that she is behind on her rent ... Significantly behind and has been for months. Her landlord has been patient but apparently they will be in town in a couple weeks and have told her she needs to pay in full or be evicted.

Her place of employment is closing in February. Much of what she's struggling with is of her own making. Still it is hard to hear. She asked her dad if she could move here. It's not really a possibility. She won't have a drivers license for several years due to the DUIs. She doesn't have a car it was repossessed after her last DUI. We live 20 miles out of town. No bus service where we live. And she's on probation. And I'm not up for it. I don't want to be responsible for taxing my 32 year old daughter to and from town. I can barely take care of myself. DH knows this. But still. This is a sticky wicket. My mom doesn't want it either. If we had the money we'd pay her rent but we don't. It just sucks. For someone who feels responsible for everyone's happiness this is tough. Oh I've gone on too much. Sorry. It's a long complicated story about my daughter.

Well ... That's it for now. I've tired myself out now.

Happy New Year!!!
