This is what I actually ended up wearing last night, though I really didn't do much! We ate dinner super late (my dad had an early gig, which is odd for New Year's Eve), and it was generally very low-key. I truly am a homebody at heart though, so I honestly didn't really mind staying home. Plus, it was absolutely freezing outside (it was around 15 degrees yesterday, and it supposed to be a whopping 9 degrees tomorrow!), so staying bundled up seemed like the preferable option.
It was so cold, in fact, that I felt like my hands were going to fall off while taking these photos! Winter lasts for so long here, and I am so incredibly impatient. My room looks presentable enough for some passable photos there, if I'm in a pinch, but the lighting is so much better outside. Which reminds me, I need to start experimenting with my new camera... it's totally weird that I'm avoiding it. I've wanted a DSLR for so long, and yet I'm scared of change! I'm a silly creature.
I have the next two days off, which is nice (and I'm supposed to see my friend Julia on Thursday, which will be great)... but I'm getting my wisdom teeth out on Friday. I'm very nervous about it. Like a lot of things, I put it off for a looong time, and now it's here. I've never really had any procedures or surgeries in my life, and I don't know what to expect. I've never been put under anesthesia, either. I'm also worried about my TMJ acting up as a result, and pretty much every other worrisome scenario one could think of (and believe me, I have). I'm sure it'll be fine, but I'll definitely look like a chipmunk for a few days (I already have a round face, so I can't even imagine what I'll look like), and I've pretty much been warned that at least the one bottom tooth is going to be kind of painful. Woohoo. Anyway, I'm trying to get some posts scheduled in advance so that I don't have to worry about it while I'm recovering. Those who have had their wisdom teeth taken out: any advice for me?? :-x
I'm thinking of maybe trying something where I pinpoint little joys of my day, or what I'm looking forward to, in my posts. A main goal for me in 2014 is to always find the joy, so maybe this would be a good way to do that. A big one for this morning would be... not having to set an alarm! :)
Have a wonderful first day of 2014!!
