Quiet New Year's Eve

We're having about the quietest New Year's Eve of all time. I started out on a short walk to downtown Littleton this afternoon with Mandy, but she couldn't take the cold after a few blocks, so I brought her back home, and dropped her off before continuing on. It was chilly, about 27F, and a brisk wind came up after a few minutes. I was glad to have my hat and gloves with me. I really enjoyed that squeaky crunching sound my boots made, as I made my way along the snow covered paths.

This evening, K and Mandy are sleeping in the reclining chair by the fire, watching the New Year's Eve coverage on TV. We watched the big fireworks show in downtown Denver at 9pm, which they'll repeat at midnight. I woke K up at 10, and we had a quarter cup of Martinelli's to celebrate with the folks at the Times Square celebration. She's only allowed to drink a measured amount of fluid each day, because the dialysis can only remove so much, and we definitely don't want a repeat of that terrible swelling she's been recovering from for the past two weeks.
