My New Year's eve came together in an impromptu way. Friend Edelmar and I talked about getting together at his place but he had to work until mid-afternoon which meant that he didn't have time to plan or shop for dinner. While I, on the other hand, had absent-mindedly put together a pot roast just because I like to cook on snowy days. So, he volunteered to pick me and my pot roast up and transport us to his home and back again so I wouldn't have to drive among the snow and crazies on NYE. Then, we decided on a lark to go way down to SE Denver to pick up his roommate, who takes public transit to and from work, which takes 1.5 hours in good weather.
The 3 of us had a cozy evening with a wood burning fireplace and The Time Machine on the Blu-Ray projector. The icing on the cake was that, when he brought me back to my house, we encountered my renter who had been giving me a lot of trouble for the past two days, who was very conciliatory and appreciative. Although I like to think I could have handled the situation by myself, it was so reassuring to have my friend standing beside me and supporting me!!
