I'm feeling surprisingly redivivus tonight. It's surprising because shouldn't someone my age feel the opposite of redivivus? Broken, perhaps? Damaged? Shopworn? Blemished?
What's not surprising is that tomorrow is coming and I, not being a fortune-teller, soothsayer, psychic or mystic---as far as you know---have no idea what it will bring.
Maybe there will be, against all odds, even more redivivusness. We'll see what happens.

I've caught the habit of using underemployed and/or forgotten words from @xFiacre. He is really the master of it.

@xander6464 It's going okay. Thanks for the definition. I've been working on Vendetta.

I hope that what you were feeling last night was kind of like New Year's Eve . . . a time of reflection of the past and excitement for whatever the future holds. Your age - I am not that far from you. If you feel particularly "redivivus", then I truly hope good things will be coming your way. The attitude gives you better odds 
. Happy Redivivus Day

@much2say Several bottles. I think that when it comes to champagne, more is more.

I'm glad you brought up New Year's Eve because the champagne might have had something to do with it.

All I know is tomorrow will bring the cold and my husband will want to sleep in. Good thing that he can because he doesn't have to be at work until 11.

I know what you mean. My husband had been able to, today. However, according to him, he opens tomorrow. So the alarm will go off at 6 AM. He won't like we're in for another cold night tonight. @xander6464

@kaylachan I don't like it, either but we are getting closer to spring and that keeps me going.

It's going to be cold here, too. And the urge to sleep-in will be great.

@xander6464 Nothing like a spot of revividusationism to got one’s mojo up and working.

@xFiacre It is exactly what I think. I thought I was the only one.

@xander6464 It does tend to render other stimuli sadly otiose, don’t you think?
