happy new year

ok, so mm wishes you and yours a happy new year....................a little late, perhaps, as all of mm's family was asleep by 10 or so................i went to bed about 8:30, and was not the first to make that move...............the last illness-free c-w was feeling so badly that he skipped supper alltogether and stayed in the bed.........and so today, new year's day.....i can say that i feel better.........i feel less annoyed by symptoms at least.................my nephew showed up yesterday afternoon....we have had a good visit with him so far......he is a major lotr fan....both the books and the movies.....he and i commiserated that the first movie left out tom bombadil and the barrow wights(sp), which would explain how merry was able to kill the witch king in the third movie................i read online that 2 people will share the powerball prize......and since ky was not listied as the location of ticket purchase, i am assured that i did not win, yet again................rats...................maybe next time
