"Happy New Year-"-- -On the Lunar Calendar , this is the year of the Dragon-
-Apparently there is a Lunar Calendar, based on monthly cycles of the moon, in contrast to the solar Calendar, based on the monthly cycles. The Dragon symbolizes power and success--One is not supposed to clean your house or you will sweep out your good luck-- not even shower, or you will wash away your good luck--
I must inform Sadie , the cleaning Lady, (who is really me!)-that she is definitely not supposed to show her face around here to-day---
Anyway, I am trying very hard to be productive-
-So far, the 2 boys (as in dogs) have co-operated--done their business----plus I took the freezing rain (which had turned to ice) away from the bricks in front of the garage----and now it is snowing outside--lightly--
Himself came down this morning--WITH HIS ONE HEARING AID IN---and--he hears what I say--Whatta difference!--I wonder why he had quit wearing them?--I am hoping to take them in, next week to the Hearing Place to see if they need cleaning-
It is the weekend---What are your plans for the weekend?--Hopefully I can get to play the piano---get a wee rest in, (with my book)--get to town to pick up the Chinese Food for supper- walk the dogs, again and again and again---and the best part, I think Himself will even hear me whisper sweet nothings to him!------
Enjoy the day---and--above all--- do not sweep away any good luck!--- AND____
I must remember to be silent--close my mouth-- if anyone talks back to me--(not mentioning any names here!--but---- he does live in this house---
It's Kathy. I did not know that I might sweep away my good luck - good thing I read your blog before I thought about cleaning today. No sweeping for me! My husband is on his way to watch his grandson in an Archery tournament - it's an hour away and really doesn't interest me. Apparently the gym is packed with kiddos! Who knew Archery was such a popular sport these days - never once heard about it when my children were in school. We are expecting my two little grandsons for dinner tonight. My daughter is going to spend some time with a few friends she grew up with. She really needs the break! We'll see how that goes. They've been having a hard time lately. The house is so quiet now - I think I'll read for awhile! Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteLOLOL--- Good thing yu didn't sweep anything away--LOLOL--How did your dinner go with the 2 little Grandsons--Bet they were cute!-----A friend of ours is scheduled for Stints and bypass surgery in Sudbury Monday morning--leaves tomorrow night for hospital---- Wouldn't that be a hard thing to swallow??-===It was a good day today--Lynda
DeleteLove the strong woman meme at the end of today's entry! "not to waste energy on foolishness" is wise, indeed.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year. We have overcast skies here, and it's warm for February. I'm a water dragon, I discovered. Google is amazing, isn't it? I read up and it says those of us born in the water dragon year need to be careful in 2024! It warns not to interfere in our children's lives! OK, wise advice in just about any year!
Hope that ice clears up around your place.
LOL---- "not to interfere with the children's lives-"---funny--Are yu doing that?--LOL--a bit of snow fell to-day and covered the ice-- which is good-- Son#2 going to Brazil tomorrow--is flying from Montreal-- tomorrow night -- "deadheaded from Toronto" to-nite-- Lynda
DeleteTrying my best, Lynda!
DeleteI had wondered if Himself was wearing his ears. I asked, but you never said. At least he has one an is willing to wear it.
ReplyDeleteDidn't like the fact that you still had ice. Luckily, we do not. It is colder, though. The sky is blue and the wind isn't as heavy.
Did a couple errands already. Just had a good lunch, and will snooze soon with Lucky in preparation for karaoke tonight. With the Super Bowl tomorrow and a tribute to Toby Keith tonight, it will be a fun time.
Thanks for the info about the lunar new year. Maybe it's the same as the Chinese new year? I've heard of that, too. It has animal years, also.
Your pets are good furbies. The just follow their instincts, and try to do what you want them to do. Except maybe Sushi. Kitties tend to do what they want to do first.
We have a cat shelter here for ferals and those owners have turned in. It's called Furball Farms. Wednesday they are having a fund raiser. The kitties run free, people get to interact (and hopefully adopt) them. They ask for at least a $5 donation, but you also get a large piece of pizza and a soda. Several of us are thinking of going.
All for now, sis, Lucky is crying for play or a nap. Gotta figure out which.
Oh! I will not sweep the floor! {{{HUGS}}}
Himself wore one hearing air ALL day--and it made such a difference in his disposition--Yes--a bit of snow fell to-day--which was good as it covered the ice--That is so nice--the cat shelter for cats--I would visit that too-- -- -It was a good day to-day--I enjoyed it--Lynda--with mega hugs-
DeleteHappy New Year! I thought of you while eating my breakfast of spaghetti - long noodle, long life for me, a wood dragon. This is my year, right? Hope you have a wonderful day. Dinner sounds yummy! 🐲🏮🧧
ReplyDeleteAlicia--YU remembered-long noodle--long life-- --LOLOL--And that was the gift for the baby--2 bags of noodles-- LOLOL-- Good to see yu--Lynda
DeleteWhoa! A miracle! Himself with one hearing aide in! Awesome.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is the Super Bowl. Rooting for the Chiefs (my fav cousin lives in Kansas City, Missouri and is a Chief’s fan). And going to watch the puppy bowl.
Happy Lunar New Year!~

Yes I guess that is a big game --- even here, people are talking about it-Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda! I told Sadie not to come today! lol She did make a pie and go to the meat market and made dinner. No Sadie tomorrow. It is Sunday. Our favorite day! We must rest. It is cooler in Ohio than it had been but still it is 44 right now. So happy Himself had his ears on for you today. It makes a big difference for you and him. I hope you had a great day and even better tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteIt really was a good day to-day--way more normal--=Himself wore one hearing aid-- Yeahhh-- Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda, Marge here. Himself wearing a hearing aid Wahoo.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year. I'd love your dinner tonight plus the M&Ms. My favorite junk food. No cleaning today. Thanks for the heads up.
