So it has gotten to the point where I have to moderate my news intake for my own well-being. Too much and I get totally stressed out. Just cannot do it. I guess I am a worrier by nature and it really bothers me. Plus the news cycle if pretty repetitive so they go over the same thing over and over again. Just cannot do it. I am trying to only watch one hour a day and really stick to that. It is enough really to get the sense of what is going on. I read updates fine - that does not stress me out but watching the news cycle totally stresses me out.

I found a new show on Netflix that I really like - this thing Bridgerton. It is based on the Regency romance novels by Julia Quinn - I used to read those. This show is delightful. About that marriage frenzy of the Ton in England. Just eating it up. I love the costumes, the diversity of the casting and all that. It is all fluff and I am really in the mood for this kind of escapist thing right now. I hope they do the whole family in multiple seasons - there were a lot of books so there is a lot of material for a pretty long running show. I can only hope they stick with it.

I also need to finish The Boys on Amazon - I kind of spoiled myself by looking up what happened with it online so it is not an urgent thing for me. I do that sometimes - cannot wait for the ending so I read about it online - hence spoiling myself. It is a really bad habit. I do want to watch the whole thing with this one because it is an excellent production and I love Karl Urban in it.

Today is not a Snowflake Challenge day so nothing on that today. I have not been writing. I am not stuck - I am in a good spot with the story - just have not opened it in a while. I better look up the deadline and start working towards that. Best not forget there is a deadline.

That is all - hope you are well - where you are. Stay healthy and stay safe.

I am doing daily dot journal posts so I figure I can post daily online. Why not. I guess I have a lot to say. My latest show - obsession is Amazon Prime's The Boys - super-heroes behaving badly and another amazing role for Karl Urban. Is he good in everything he does? I think he is. I am loving him as Butcher in this series. Tough, sentimental, all combined.



That is a pic of him in the role. I just love him in this. Everyone in the show is good but Karl Urban is one of my favorite actors and he really delivers the dialogue with gusto in this. They let him have his accent and all that so I think he gets to relax into it. I am on Season 2 right now - just started that and will definitely keep going at it. It is an interestin take on the superhero genre. Based on a comic book series so I might have to look into that. Anyhoo, good stuff.

Other than that - I am loving my vacation. I took a good long walk today - mid-day. Kept away from people for the most part. I always take my mask with me but when I am walking for exercise, I don't wear the mask when I am on my own. I do put it on when there are other people near me. I go at a good clip and breathing is easier without the mask. I did not run into that many people today so had it off for the most part. When I went through the shopping area - I put my mask on. No worries. It feels good to get outside and just walk. So I am going to try and do that more into the new year.

Anyhoo - I don't really do resolutions for the turn of the year. Those end up in disappointment. Those just set you up for failure. I reflect a little bit and move on to the new year. I will be happy to let this year go - it has been tough. I think we have learned that we can do things differently - maybe we can take that idea onto the new year and make that work for us.

Onward.
