A rant, so soon, after Christmas…

Yup, I know, celebrating the coming of a new year should be fun but I am a little pessimistic about this celebration. Last year, the smoke coming from the revelry of firecrackers was so bad that my son Julian ended up being in a hospital due to a severe asthma attack.

Now it is just a day after Christmas and my neighbors are at it again, firing those firecrackers. I can feel my nerves being jumpy and I can just grit my teeth and wish that they…No, I don’t want to think these ugly thoughts just yet, so soon after Christmas. The dog is jumpy too from the sound of booming firecrackers, not because his ears are cropped, but because all dogs have sensitive hearing abilities.

Today it rained almost the whole day. I was a bit glad though I would have preferred a fine day. But I would be doubly glad if it rains on New Year’s Eve. Maybe, then, maybe, less firecrackers would be lighted and we would be spared of allergies due to smoke. My mother asked me to spend the New Year’s Eve at their house where there would be likely less smoke. Oh, how I would love to but we can’t leave the house unattended, too dangerous. We can’t have just leave hubby here and not spend the last day of this year and first of the day of the new year not together. Sigh.
