My grandmother always said that what you do on New Year’s day is what you’ll be doing all year. When I think of that now, I wonder how many people will be having hangovers all year. Or staying up late to watch television. Or sleeping half the day because they were up late. Okay, that…
Today in the US is Thanksgiving. It’s a day when it’s traditional to consider what we’re thankful for. Today I’m thankful for my nice, little apartment.
