Happy New Year 2011!!!!!!!

I wasistaken. I had no idea that today was a holiday all around. I booked patients in my office and several did not show up. I was glad to catch up and prepare for next week, which is horrendous, because I see far too many people in the two days that I am here, and lecture at the university each day, and take care of Maya and pack and prepare for our trip to Ecuador.

Maya came to join me in the middle of the day after playing with 'circuits', a toy kit she had received for Christmas. Eric was so interested in her toy, he did not get any work done for the morning. Maya and I went to our last yoga class of the year, and enjoyed smoothies before returning home to a crisp and clean house (our cleaning lady came for the day).

We were invited to Sandi, Sarah and Matt's house for dinner. I had thought a large group of families would be there, but we were the only ones and it turned out to be a delightful dinner and evening. Maya enjoyed her time with Sarah and the adults were comfortable together. Maya Eric and I made another stop at Julien and Daphne's house for a much bigger party with Daphne's six siblings and their families visiting along with her parents and Julien's parents. They had bought a 'Wii' game wherein two or three people would dance and compete, so we all had our turns and had a blast. I got caught in a dull moral argument about healthcare and insurance companies, and was glad to get out of there to watch the fireworks downtown at midnight. The harbour was full of spectators and there were three sets of fireworks. I was glad I went, especially since parking was easy and getting out of there at the end was fast and efficient too. I do like fireworks at new years!

I am wondering about New Years Resolutions. They are not quite formed yet. I am giving myself a week to flesh them out.
