I'm...ready for 2017?

[seren_ccd]

I'm sitting in the Tallahassee airport waiting for my flight to Atlanta, then I'm flying to Manchester, then taking a train back to Wales.  It's been a very busy holiday.  I'm exhausted and I have a cold, naturally.  I spent most of New Year's Day in the ER with my grandmother-in-law who is 90 and was severely dehydrated and NO ONE was doing anything. So I did something.  Good news - she's much better after a few days of fluids and antibiotics.  Bad news - she's 90?  With severe osteoporosis and her husband is also 90 and well, they need care.  Hopefully, they'll get someone to come around during the day.

I have eaten SO MUCH.  Shrimp po'boys, meatloaf, standing rib roast, steak tenderloin, massive salads, eggnog milkshakes, lots of Corona's and margaritas.  I'm a very full bunny right now.

I only saw one movie and that was Sing, the animated movie with Matthew McConaghey as a koala and Reese Witherspoon as a pig.  It was pretty adorable and had a great soundtrack. 

I'm also very ready to go home to my husband and the sea and our funny-shaped house and all the sheep. :D

I'm also ready to get back into writing.  I have three writing 'goals' for the year:

Finish my Abigail/Billy, Black Sails EPIC.
Type up my ghost story that I mostly finished in November.
Start the sequel to the above.  This is the one with the werewolf accountant who has lately begun to look a great deal like John Cho in my head.  Because reasons.

This year we're also going to Greece for a wedding and hope to visit Oxford and maybe somewhere else for the fun of it.  It's going to be a tough year, so we're trying to get some coping mechanisms in place ahead of any inevitable troubles.

I hope everyone had a nice holiday and I'm sending all my good thoughts and best wishes to everyone for the New Year.  ♥  Happy Friday!

I didn't realize you had many sheep!

Hee! To clarify, I don't have the sheep. But I work for a company that sells supplies to farmers and our office is in the same office as a sheep breeder and so THEY have the sheep. A lot of sheep. I basically work on a farm in the middle of Wales. It's pretty darn idyllic. And lambing season is coming up soon so that will be even more adorable.

Oh, nice! I have a good friend with a tiny farm. She turned her herd over from dairy goats to Soay sheep so I've been slowly learning more about them. She keeps talking about moving to Wales for sheep. :D

I am glad your trip was decent and full of tasty food! All the thoughts for you getting home safe and sound.

SO MUCH FOOD! And I'm home, with a nasty cold, but I slept most of today and that has helped A LOT.
