I started hearing fireworks pretty early last night. People started setting them off in neighborhoods all around us. It is legal to buy them this year, as we have had more rain lately, but they are only supposed to be set off in "safe zones" outside the city. People rarely pay attention to that around here.

I went to bed early, but woke up a few minutes before midnight and got up to see the new year in. At midnight it really got noisy outside. I could see and hear fireworks everywhere. That lasted for 15 or 20 minutes, then it started slacking off and I went back to bed. So here I am up at my usual time this morning.

My antivirus program always expires at the beginning of the year, so I renewed it online yesterday and spent a little while downloading the renewal program. I have used AVG with good results for several years. I used to use the free version, but with all the problems with viruses, worms, trojans, etc. I switched to the stronger paid version two or three years ago.

Sis got up with a migraine headache this morning. Sure hope she doesn't have as many this year as last. It went away later and she went to church.

After we both got home from church today, we went to BJ's for lunch. Now I know I'm a senior citizen. Even the meals on the senior citizen menu turn out to be too much for me. LOL. I had a breaded beef cutlet (delicious), with a tossed green salad and baked potato. Coffee and a hot roll came with it. The servings are smaller than the normal, but I wasn't able to finish everything.

When we got home, I had my usual Sunday afternoon nap. For supper we had a carrot casserole and leftover macaroni and cheese.
