I was up at 12:00am, the new year arrived as expected. I spent the night watching TV and reading. It was a nice quiet evening. Usually on New Year's Day I go down to the lakefront to watch the Polar Bears jump in the lake. Jody called to invite me. As much as I want to go, I am staying home. I am extremely tired and weak today. It is a couch day. I did some dishes and have set up my new talking microwave "Esther". She speaks english and spanish. Having a talking microwave is awesome. Tomorrow I have my weekly check up and I have to go to the Social Security Office. My insurance company has recommended that I apply, I may be eligible for benefits. It's time for a nap.
