Residual Forces

I’m a single guy who does not live at bars trying to not feel single. So, I am going to be liveblogging my New Year’s Eve. It is amature night, and I am not about to drive anywhere just to not be alone. Besides, I have a dog to keep me company.

6:30
The day started out with me waking up my 2 nephews (9 & 11) who spent the night at my house last night, just 5 hours after they went to sleep. Whenever they come to town to visit their Grandma, I have them over for a night of video games, movies, and pizza. Our usual day after ‘o’ gamming was cut short by me having to have to plow snow today. I got them up a little earlier than they liked so we could have one last battle royale and a super greasy breakfast their mom would never let them eat.

10:00
I was at work to plow snow. I got to run the big snow blower, and it went swimmingly. We were done in just 2 hours.

12:15
I received a call from my sister (mom of 2 nephews) at 12:15, she backed into the garage at our Mom’s, and broke her rear view mirror. She needed me to find a replacement. (On a Saturday, New Year’s Eve to make it worse.) So I drove around to local Chevy dealers and parts stores with no avail. Dealers were closed, and the parts stores didn’t carry the mirror, so thank goodness she is leaving Monday, instead of Sunday. I’ll get her a new one Monday morning before she leaves.

I am currently at the Fortress of Solitude writing my Year in Rear View.

I have no intentions of going out tonight. I’m going to do my usual loaner thing and get a good steak, some broccoli, and a bottle of top shelf booze for a night all alone in front of the boob tube. It is not like I set out to do this, but circumstances led to me spending another New Year’s alone. Silly thing is, that I have never actually kissed anyone on New Year’s as everyone else does. There was one time I went to a party with an old buddy, but having his friend’s mom kiss me on the cheek didn’t count as far as I’m concerned. I’m a New Year’s virgin I guess, and it won’t change this time. (There was a chance if all that changing this year, but “errors crept in”)

So, I’ll be spending the evening deep with in the confines of RF HQ. I’ll post the happenings as they unfold.

(I’m not doing this to seem pathetic. Maybe I will give some other soul the comfort that like Valentine’s day, New Year’s can be just another night alone.)

Developing…

Update:
I just got an email that makes everything else this year pale in comparison. Thank you and same to you. You have made this year worth while!
