Of course, it could just be me who is more intolerant. Or more fragile.
I get that. I own that.
2024 was not my year. Physically. Mentally. Psychologically. Politically. Possibly Emotionally. The last one is a lot more stable than the others listed.
The first three were the focus of my 2024. Those remain for 2025, though I'm not sure how I am going to pull that off. Pharmaceuticals will not doubt continue to take an active role in what are hopefully valiant attempts.
Politically, we're just fucked. End of story.
I never have any resolutions. 2025 is no different.
I have no true goals. To stay sane would be nice. To run a marathon would be great. The last one seems more achievable.
Physically, I don't think I'm ready for a Spring marathon. Maybe a half. Maybe I'm wrong.
A full one in the Fall seems more likely. I will apply for the NYC Marathon lottery next month, but I know chances are slim. Still, there are other runs in the Autumn I could take on.
I ran "only" 982 miles in 2024. That was way off my 1,400 target. Yes, I only ran 5 times in the last 15 weeks, so that had something to do with falling short. I'll wait to see how my recovery goes before silently identifying a 2025 mile goal.
2024 was the year of Eclipses and Northern Lights. I'd only see one of these things. It seems I was one of the 52 people in the Northern Hemisphere not to see the aurora borealis last May. {sigh}
All that said - let's do the numbers for 2024.
I can't and won't focus on the previous election here. It was traumatic at the very least and on so many levels.
Which leads me to this blog.
After the election, I said I wasn't sure I could continue Blobby's Blog after January 20th. I'm still not sure I can. Or will.
I suppose my quest would be; can I do this blog without writing about politics? Or do bury my head further in the sand and just post stupid stuff? Or do I do my pets, music and 'of the month' posts and that's it - which would leave a part time blog. Not daily.
Honestly, I do not know.
But since we are toe dipping into politics - since November 5h, have you seen or heard the name JD Vance? I haven't. Granted, I don't read or watch the news, but I can't avoid all headlines - and he no longer makes them. I'm not sad - it is just super curious......yet it's not.
Ok, I was off topic. Sorry.
Anyway - as of today, I'll continue the blog, but it might be a day by day decision starting in three weeks.
I'd like to say "HAPPY 2025", but I fear I can't do that without being Pinocchio. I mean, I wish it for you all, I'm having a tough time thinking it will be. For anyone.

Happy New Year! Have a little fun everyday. JD's neighbors are looking forward to him moving into the residence of the spare, security has screwed up the Del Ray neighborhood. Oh, and hewhoshallnotbenamed is looking tired and gaunt. The hillbilly from Ohio might get his chance.
Right there with ya, Blobby. After the election I thought about giving up my blog, and in fact went AWOL for a couple days until I realized it was in my blood, and no two-bit twatwaffle orange wannabe dictator who can't even tie his own shoes (allegedly) stop me. RESIST.
