…I have:

a. acquired an orphan Betta fish who is doing quite well in his new non-Betta-ish home
b. had every piece of furniture moved into bathrooms and carpeted rooms (including the Christmas tree) as the entire house’s hardwood floors are being sanded, stripped, stained (and 3 rooms de-carpeted and new hardwood put in)
c. introduced a new dog, a sweet Chihuahua stray who we have named “Tiki”
d. finally kicked that ridiculous, month-long bug that’s been going around getting people sick
e. had my first idiotic run in with the TSA at an airport in Austin, because they had never seen the printed boarding pass I was using before

In January, I’m sleeping a lot.
