Can you hear the horses?

Apple Tree 1, Gustav Klimt

Hello, blog! It's time for my yearly entry!

1. I went to see The Rise of Skywalker Friday. Even though there were several things that bugged me while I was watching, it was still oddly very satisfying. So, just like bad endings ruin a good movie, a good ending can prop up a fair one. Great movie! :)

2. I went to the hospital a few weeks ago because I couldn't breathe. I was admitted because I had pneumonia. I was released five days later, having been diagnosed with heart failure, leaky mitral valve, asthma...and something else I honestly can't remember. I feel much better now, though! I had no idea you could walk around slowly and breathlessly and go to work every day with just a little heart failure. 

3. Did anybody watch the live YouTube NYE events around the globe today? Hmm. That was probably just me.

I'm going to bed soon and the New Year will ring in without me. It's hard for me to let 2019 go. I feel increasingly desperate to stop time from moving on. Why can't we just stay?

SO MAUDLIN.

p.s. My daughter just pointed out that she can't wait for 2019 to crash and burn behind us. She's the optimistic type.
