As far as I’m concerned 2018 is over. So I’m not doing much just hiding and staying out of people’s way.

I finished my books for this year so I’m not going to start any books until 2019. I’m taking a reading break. To bookworms I know this is blasphemous. 2018 was a slow reading year anyway. Only read fifty-six books. Oh the horror.

I’m not taking a break from my bike riding. The rain has decided to appear and that is not making my riding fun. I would rather ride in snow than rain, but it doesn’t snow here so the rain it is.

I’m always glad to see a year end. Not that anything much will change in the new year. It just means I’m closer to retirement and that is the goal.

I got three million steps for 2018 so I”m good. Last year I fell short. Probably because some days I forget the pedameter and steps are not logged. Yeah I can hear people saying do it through an app on the phone or get a fitbit. Not getting a fitbit and I tend to forget my phone. Not too dependent on it like everyone else.

It is easy for me to forget the phone because I lived most of my life never carrying one.  I don’t have anyone I need to keep in touch with. My phone stays on silence so when someone does text or call it will be ignored for hours or maybe the next day. The modern world just annoys me.

I admit I like my ASUS Chromebook C201. It isn’t fancy but it gets the job done. Not a bad machine for about $160. Besides I don’t have to worry about someone wanting to steal it. Maybe now it is worth about $50 or less.

Give me WIFI and I can do everything I need to do and I have a nice size screen. Not the best but it gets the job done. Wish I had a chromebook when I was in college would have made writing papers a lot easier.

Guess I will go and get a snack and finish waiting for 2018 to end.
