In 2012, the only resolution I made was to remember to call my friend Cindy at least once a week, instead of always waiting for her to call me - I'm really,  really bad about picking up the phone and calling people, but I managed to keep that resolution. Without any resolutions on the subject, I decided just after the first of the year that I really needed to get out from under the burdens of a largish single-family home, so repaired the home, sold the home, bought a condo, moved. So far so good, right? Also good, that I don't think I've mentioned, is that I've lost nearly 25 pounds in the past year, getting my BMI to just under 25 - that is, within normal instead of overweight! Without any resolutions about losing weight!

I whined here about the couple of tachycardia events that screwed up my summer, and then somehow never got around to getting back here. I think, mind you I'm not certain, but I think, that this new year I resolve to write a few more substantive posts here, rather than depending on 3-sentence Facebook updates to be the only way I keep up with friends or organize my thoughts.

Playing catch-up )
More stupid heart stuff )

More than you wanted to know about my finances )

I have slightly less of too much stuff )

A visit to Texas )

OK, that's well enough of a ramble and a catch-up. New Year's resolution: keep up with LJ better, keep up with my friends' lives better. It's not all always me, and when it is me, sometimes it's good to share.

We received presents today from both my dad and S's dad.

My dad sent us food. Always useful :D too many relatives )

Anyway, the other package today was from S's dad, W. W collects clocks. He has probably well over 60 antique clocks in his den. Large ones, small ones. Generally not grandfather clocks - he prefers wall clocks and desk clocks. Some are unique, some are just cute, some are very valuable and fragile, some are only mildly valuable and mildly fragile. He sent us one of his clocks. It was in a very large box. Open the large box, dig through styrofoam peanuts, find medium box. Open medium box, unwrap bubble wrap, find small styrofoam box. Which is the original packaging for the Atmos clock contained within. An Atmos!!! Now we have to figure out where to put it - one doesn't just set an Atmos on an end table where the cat can get at it. Wow.
stuff needs insurance )
Now back to finishing knitting.
