Here we are, in the year 2013 and I feel….about the same. Granted I didn’t expect to actually feel entirely different, but nonetheless. For once New Years didn’t end in drama, “Angry Nate,” complete drunkenness, etc. I’ll take it.
Still, the New Year’s celebrations where the couples outnumber the singles (by a wide margin) can still be a bit crushing on the ego. Don’t get me wrong, I can typically find a way to have a good time regardless of the situation, but as these types of nights go on, the fact that people seem to end up getting “coupley” together is unavoidable, and I certainly don’t blame them. There just gets to be that point where you feel more in the way than anything, despite no mentions or actual indications that this the case. Again, this may just be me overreacting or may just be me in general. I was so close to just not going out at all, which is unusual for me, especially for New Year’s. However, since the past few NYE have been….iffy at best, I was set to just relax at home with some video games. Lame sounding I know, but I would be completely content with that. Combine this with the notion that most people hadn’t finalized plans until the day of NYE and you’ve got limited choices.
All that being said, I had a great time at Tyliffer NYE 2012. I had some scotch, I saw some fireworks, I had (more of) an unibrow, etc. Jennifer and Tyler have proven they certainly know how to party.
I must note that there was a few…extra curricular activities going on at the party that I don’t partake in but certainly don’t mind if others partake in. It just seemed that as the night went on it was harder and harder to avoid the second hand fumes….but nothing that is crushing by any stretch.

On another note….I feel…out of sorts with my body. I’ve been trying to maintain a good workout regimen, however this stupid knee issue that has lingered for a month plus is driving me nuts. I must get it checked out, but basically it equates to a sharpish pain in my right knee when it bends in a certain way. It feels like it is on the lower right side of the knee…and I’ve tried rest, stretching, etc, and it has stayed pretty consistent. I’d say it was worse back in November, but the fact that I still can’t run on it with confidence is a bit disconcerting, especially considering I had taken some time off. Ah well, we shall see what the doctor’s say.

I go to bed tonight feeling….vexed. It was a good relaxing day with friends and a visit to the family and cats, but mentally I’m stuck. I’m beating myself up a bit (partially with the knee issue), and I can’t seem to keep the positive momentum going as of late. There isn’t negative vibes per se, but I’ve found that I’ve been beating myself up much more as of late. That’ll probably be for discussion in therapy later this week.
I bid you adieu, Peeps!
