It’s been said that what you do on New Year’s Day you’ll do all year long. I refuse to believe that to be true. I started my day feeling totally awful. Not the Rona, but nasty just the same.
Back in 1986, Jerilyn and I went to see John Cougar Mellencamp at the fairgrounds in Indy. I started getting really sick near the end of the concert and was puking out the open car door while waiting hours to disperse from the parking lot. I’m sure everyone nearby thought I’d drank too much but that wasn’t the case.
Off to the hospital and my surgeon removed part of my intestine and my cecum along with my appendix. I had a bacterial infection (something to do with the Herbalife diet stuff stripping the fluorocarbons), and even now there are certain foods that bring on that same pain. Still, it’s very unlikely I’ll be sleeping hours during the day while watching Joe Kenda in bed all year long without drinking coffee.
The one about doing laundry on New Year’s Day means you’ll be washing for the dead before the end of the year? I stayed away from that one. No need to tempt fate. 😉
The girl that always has her tree down the day after Christmas still has hers lit on January 2nd. But it comes down today! So until next year…
TIL (Today I Learned): The design for steam radiators came about during the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918. Engineers wanted to keep apartments/homes warm while ventilating the space from airborne illnesses. They were meant to be kept on with the windows fully open!
