First Day of the Year, selfish

That is right. I am using today to be self centered.
I made us a good brunch, after I did a facial masque, hair conditioning treatment and took a hot shower to remove both.
My earning sites are running but I am so happy to have found a missing notebook. I intend to do all my continuing education for work today, honestly, it will be needing tomorrow too. I have ten hours to complete.
Food is ready and on hand for supper. I am putting things away and enjoying the process.
I hope you are having a great first day of the year.

I ventured into the yard a bit but mostly concentrated on indoor stuff.

Again I am hopping back and forth between two different hockey games. The Toronto Maple Leafs are playing Detroit in the outdoor classic game, and Team Canada Junior are playing Russia in the International Hockey semi-finals. They both just HAD to start at the same time.

Don't you just hate that? You just cannot be in two places at once.

@GardenGerty In the end, one game turned out to be more exciting and closer in score, even going into overtime.

It has been decent, the weather is nice. The car, however, is not being good to hubby.

Many of the credit hours come for much fewer minutes, for instance I got a full hour credit for a thirty seven minute presentation. It is easier for me to do it at home, all at once, and be done than to go somewhere and be bored, or uncomfortable. I also like that if I miss something I can replay. I have a quiz for each section and have to pass at 80%. The professional development or continuing education credits are required for a rehire next year and possibly for a raise.

@GardenGerty the only sad thing is not getting paid for that time

We did nothing but watch football all day. Pretty easy day.

It is important to do that occasionally. Just take it easy. It makes up for all the busy-ness of the holiday season.

@GardenGerty I managed 365 last year, but 2017 is not a leap year.

Only 364, my goodness, you are slipping. Happy New Year.

Me I have taken a bit of a laid back attitude too. Although I have a lot to do I have only done what I feel like doing. You have done very well though.

I do not often make time for the beauty treatments and at my age I need to do so more often.

@GardenGerty
I need to see to me a bit more often as well. I do look after myself but a bit more would help.

Yes, I am. There is always something to do, and some friends to visit with.

Meal wise we took it easy today. I made a big brunch at noon. We each are eating some of our favorites tonight, accompanied by fruity smoothies for balance.

Happy new year to you! The first of the year is always a wonderful time of renewal!
We should all have these once in a while.
