@TheHorse We had our first lunch of the year and I am sleepy now. My husband decided to go for a nap.

@TheHorse My Lunch and Dinner too tends to be different from what we have traditionally or usually in India. Now our Dinner is sometimes Cookies plus some snacks with Tea, which many might not count as a Dinner.

The neighbors started shooting off fireworks about twenty minutes ago. They woke Pretty up. She is NOT happy about it! Happy New Year, pony.

@DaddyEvil Wish you a very Happy New Year 2023! Rules should come in and ask all Fireworks to be converted to be sound-less or with as less sound as possible.

Hey, Happy New Year 2023. I was worried for my daughter's two cats at the time the fireworks began to be too noisy, but they were no where to be seen. Knowing them, they were watching the fireworks with each other cheering each other on... (These cats are very curious of noises.)

@YrNemo Nope. Only under the bed would do. She's back to normal now.

I celebrate new year with more sleeping, eating and watching entertainment. I need rest because after that I need to go to the library and try to speed up my thesis correction.

I was desperate to avoid last year's non-event. Some friends took pity and invited us round, and we shared food and played games which was lots of fun.

@Fleura I may have played Balderdash at a bachelor party in the 1990s. You can imagine what the answers were like.

@TheHorse Animals have better hearing than we do and so fireworks and lightning bother them. My cat had a very hard time when we had lightning. She looked at me to stop it and I could not and felt terrible for her but I could not stop it and then the alarm for the building went off and would not stop and I tried calling about that but remembered the last time it happened it took them a while to shut it off.

Poor kitty. How long did the alarm ultimately take?

@TheHorse It went off again this morning but not as long as it has done before. It has gone off all day and I tried calling before but did not do any good because they were working on it. I did not bother to call today. I am fasting because it is a fast day. The guy that was maintenance for the building is not in the building anymore. I can still call him if the alarm does not stop. I am concerned about my cat. She could not eat for a while because of the alarm today. It bothers her.

We had very few booms and pops at midnight this year. We stayed home, had a good dinner and watched the ball drop. Happy New Year!

@TheHorse The one on Times Square. We usually watch the one on Duval Street in Key West; but hubs was tired and hurt pretty badly; so he didn't feel like hooking up the TV for YouTube, etc.
