Hey, it’s 2025.

I’m proud of you for making it this far.

Just signed up to switch to fiber at our main house since it is finally available here. Buhbye Xfinity cable.

Finished reading: Meditations for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman 📚— I kept waiting for him to check his white male privilege… Never happened.

A new addition to to All Is Calm this year: Intention Station. Inviting all who come to type out their thoughts, intentions, resolutions, word, dreams, plans, or anything else for the coming year.

Gotta say, my daughter makes a beautiful cookie tray.

The finished product…

And so it begins…

God Jul! 🇳🇴

Note to local folks…

We are doing “All Is Calm” once again on Christmas Day. Come to our place any time between 1 and 5pm on Christmas Day where we’ll be hanging out reading, chatting with anyone who shows up, maybe working on a puzzle or playing games. There’s snacks and drinks too.

Bring y’ass!

(That said, even the young ladies behind us are talking about it so I’m not that old.)
