New Year Neatness

I'm aware that the title is lame. I couldn't think of anything else that would sound better. I'm just going to claim the lameness as my own and make it a feature.
I hope everyone had a safe New Year's celebration. My own New Year was very quiet. No noisy neighbors or anything this year. I don't do parties, so it was more or less an ordinary day for me. In fact, around midnight, I was just painting. Maybe the cold had something to do with the quiet. It's hard to be in a partying mood when it's negative degrees outside.
I haven't thought about a resolution this year. I can't even remember what my resolution last year was and if I failed it or succeeded. I think I'm just going to focus on doing the best day that I can. I feel like this is going to be a pretty good year, though. Everything has been on a pretty upward trend for me, so hopefully it will only continue getting better.
As I write this, Cassie is desperately trying to tell me it's bedtime. She keeps flying around and won't settle anywhere. That usually means she's tired. She also has this impatient little chirp that she does when she wants to go to bed, usually right in my ear.
I just finished my work deadline not all that long ago, which means I'm right in the middle of some free time. I've got a big project of my own that I'm working on right now, mostly reading and editing and planning at this stage. Maybe it will come to fruition in 2018, or something else will. And if not, there's always the other years to come.
I finished reading Cujo, by Stephen King. I didn't remember as much of it was I thought I did. I enjoyed it, as I enjoy most of what he's written, though it's not my favorite. That would be Misery, or Pet Semetary. Right now, the book I have picked up is The Death of Grass, by Samuel Youd, writing as John Christopher. I haven't gotten far into it, although I'm looking forward to seeing more of it. I can't remember if I found it on a recommended science fiction list, or one for horror. Given the subject matter, it seems to fit in both categories.
Editor Bird is biting my ear, so I suppose I should end this. Thank you for reading and be sure to check out my author page at https://www.facebook.com/authoremilyblue/
Until next time.
