Rant #3,601: It's Gonna Get Better

How was your Christmas?

How was you Chanukah?

My family and I went to my brother in law's house on Christmas Eve, and we had a nice time.

On Christmas Day, we didn't do much of anything, although leading into the first night of Chanukah, we did what all good Jewish families do on Christmas Day--we had Chinese food.

And we exchanged our gifts, of course.

During the day, i watched the Knicks game--a real tradition on Christmas Day, and an exciting game that they narrowly won--and I pretty much chilled out during most of the day--

Although I did end up doing some work in the morning.

With all the hubbub of the holidays, I completely missed a story that I had to write, something I rarely do.

But I discovered it on Christmas morning, so I guess you can say I gifted my employer with some work to do.

Why not? My holiday began after sunset, so I was cool with it.

And that was pretty much that.

Now, we see 2024 dwindle down to a few days leading up to January 1, New Year's Day, and we welcome 2025.

I am hoping for a good year, a happy and healthy year, but I have to get through one more hurdle to start the new year on a good note.

I continue to have some lingering physical problems after that prostate procedure I had a few weeks ago, and on Friday, I have an appointment with the urologist to discuss with him my problems.

Hopefully, I can emerge with a better perspective--and more optimism--on what I am going through.

So I hope your holidays were good ones, and as an aside, happy birthday to my sister today.

She, like all of us, needs 2025 to be a great year, so let's all hope that that goal is reached--

And it all starts in the waning days of 2024.
