I've been listening to paradoxes to help me sleep. They have not been doing that, not exactly. Many of them seem to be about understanding the problem, not about finding an answer. 

Chasing answers isn't always the answer, is what I'm gathering from the three hours of self-proclaimed "life-changing" paradoxes. 

I don't think they can take so much credit. My life was already changing. 

Temporal Advancement Dawn (1)

I did go out for New Year's, to a lovely party at Donovan and Lauren's house. I didn't stay until midnight, because I wanted to be home in case the fireworks upset the all the dogs currently in my house. Mabel and Marceline are generally fine, and some enthusiastic neighbors already set off fireworks last night and Beth's dog Duke seemed okay. 

Wendy's dog, Roux, doesn't love fireworks. She doesn't seem afraid though; she gets very very angry. Very get-off-my-lawn. 

So they did well after all. 

I went to bed pretty late, but I'm awake now. My usual alarms are on because I've got dogs to feed. Maybe I'll get up like I'm going to work, get dressed, and see what happens. Oh, I can nap on the couch in my clothes. Just like a real adult. 

I think I recall hearing a tradition about  the first day of the new year setting the theme for rest of it. If that's true, I suppose I'll be filled with longing and hope, and be surprisingly rested despite not sleeping enough. And maybe I'll be writing. 

Okay. Here we go.
