I'm finding myself rewriting this blog post for the fifth time now. What I basically want to say is this. For the first time in many years, I actually had quite a good New Year's Eve, and am really looking forward to coming year. Those of you who have gone through painful stuff in their lives, such as divorce, extreme pubertal excesses of their kids, and a new, demanding and stressful job, like I have, will probably recognize how happy and grateful I am when I say that. I wish everyone a happy new year.
On a sadder but trivial note: the Schacht - Reeves spinning wheel I ordered in October, will probably arrive not this month but - gasp - in February! That's really awful. January somehow always seems such a long month, now it will seem even longer! I hope it'll turn out to be worth the wait.
