Finishing the year strong-ish

It needed done, I just wish I did it sooner, like before today's trash day. 

We usually have a lot of leftovers. I try to eat them, Geoff tries to, but Doug so rarely touches them. Things end up pushed to the back of the fridge. It is sad... I end up tossing them. 

This morning I got milk for my coffee, opened the fridge and thought what the hell could be so stinky in there... 

Sigh. Time to find out. 

Doug was going to the market, so we would need space for the pork roast and trimmings so I needed to make the effort any how. 

He left at 1:30, and I did a half hour walk in the house with some Ben Folds Five for the soundtrack. The mix was all upbeat fast songs, except one so I skipped it. It was a lot of fun to have the place to myself and sing loud. 

Then, refrigerator time. Took all of 5 minutes to find the one smelly thing (pasta and broccoli). I got all the undesirables out of there, combined containers of sour cream, cheeses, took more butter out for some more cookies. Then, took a shower. Relaxed and happy. 

Doug got home, I stowed the groceries away. We chilled and he suggested we take a walk. The weather is going to take a wicked bad turn starting tonight and he said we should seize the opportunity. 

I told him that I'd be happy to if he didn't walk a block ahead of me. I hate going for a walk with him sometimes, I do not walk at his pace and it just feels like I'm alone. He didn't realize I had a problem with it, so he said he would. And he did. And we had a nice walk. I took the leash for him while he cleaned up a deposit Toffee made and I walked her for a while, she makes the pace, and can make it faster, so we finished the walk just before it started to rain. 

Doug made dinner, he's been thinking of different dishes and he picked pasta puttanesca, which turned out really good. I liked it. Thankful for him doing that for us tonight. 

For anyone wondering what we were doing tonight for "fun," it is a lot of this picture, only with wine. Whatever you are doing, or did by the time you read this, I hope that you had a nice night. And I hope if 2024 sucked, that this year upcoming is better. And if you had a good 2024, may 2025 be even better.
