I'm old. I fell asleep for about two hours. Woke up around 10:30, managed to coax Niki to go outside and pee, and about a minute before we got home, someone a couple of miles away set off some professional-level aerial fireworks. D-bags. Scared Niki pretty bad, and those are illegal around here (all aerial fireworks are). About a minute later, the fire engine sirens started. Awesome. Plus, who sets off New Year's fireworks at 10:50pm? Some other people then started setting some off. So, my white noise generators (dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, house fan) got kicked on earlier than expected. Wow, I'm old and grumpy.
Btw, Happy New Year's to all you folks ahead of me time-wise!
