We kinda got delayed on meds and Terry had to take some at midnight anyway, so it wasn't all wasted time. And Terry is having a hard time sleeping lately. He went to bed to try to sleep but it just wouldn't work well for him. He will be happy to reduce the prednisone as soon as possible.
We spent some of our awake time working on a puzzle. This one had an inch or two that wasn't on the front box picture, but that didn't matter too much, this puzzle was one of the hardest we have done in a while and it took us the longest to put it together. We had been working on it for a couple days already and at times it was a bit frustrating. If you are up for a challenge, this puzzle will give you one.
As the night went on we noticed more and more cars on the streets - it was worse than any rush hour for sure.
There were no more than a dozen people up on the roof trying to see and hear some of the sights and sounds of Seattle on this New Year's celebration and we were pretty quiet, but there was yelling and noise makers all around us. For about a half an hour there was a helicopter that seemed to want to make sure that the neighborhood was all awake for this event - it seemed to be right above our apartment.
Trying to sleep after the new year came was just as tricky because the noise just kept happening, adding several sirens to the mix. We haven't really ever been fans of staying up late, so why should that change now? Interesting though - there were lights everywhere last night and this morning the lights are all off - or maybe it's just too foggy to see them. It's pretty dark out our windows where they were once lit with Christmas lights in every direction we could see, and the workers across the street aren't coming in this morning as usual, and the roar of the vehicles on the streets is not really a roar, but just an occasional soft noise. It's really quiet and dark, even at 7:10 this morning.
We will carry on with this day and accomplish a few good things, hopefully including a nap. ;)
First though, we head to the clinic for an 8:00 medicine infusion ...
We welcome 2014 and hope to make it the best year yet! One day at a time! We hope you have a great year too.
