Ow.

I'm starting the New Year in bed.
I've got a man cold.
The type that makes you whine-y and dependent.

'cept I've got no one to whine to.
Nor be dependent on.

So I've stayed in my basement bunker for 32 hours (except for quick jaunts to the kitchen for toasted bagels and fruit juice) and mostly slept.

A few hours ago my eyes were tired of being closed, so I opened my laptop and let them look at things. And then Jenn came online and we talked with our fingers. And one thing led to another and next thing I know? I'm creating a new 101 Things to Do in 1,001 Days.

The last time I did this, was in 2010 - 2012. (And if you'll recall, 2012 was the year my life went sideways. I spent the better part of that year just keeping my head above water. The list? Was all but forgotten.)
