1. My plans for December
There's not much left in December, but what I have planned for the rest of the month is wrap my gifts and work with Ned on Christmas dinner. We have invitation to a party on Boxing day and a memorial on the 30th. We have no plans for New Years Eve.

2. How energized I feel at this point in the year
Less than at the start, much less after surgery, but fortunately getting more energized since my release from the hospital.

5. What I seem to get the most comments about
For many years people asked how I managed to raise 5 kids, then lately it was about reviews for shows I'd written that appeared in the paper Now, I don't get many comments at all.

14. What I do when I can’t sleep
That would be every night. I sleep in 2 hour increments, starting in the recliner, then moving to the couch, then back to the recliner and sometimes back to the couch again. In between each move I am doing something, like working Wordle, watching something on TV or listening to podcasts.

Blog comments seem to be becoming a thing of the past, much like blogging for personal reasons/fun instead of profit. My nail blog used to get many comments, now I'm delighted if I get one on a post and shocked if there are two. My journal never got many comments other than a few during Holidailies, though for the longest time I didn't have comments turned on because I had some idea that it wasn't proper to solicit comments. It was a different time.
I've been attending Death Cafes. I've talked a LOT about death since COVID. Four people in my choir and two other good friends died in 2022.
I'm very sorry for your losses.
I definitely think Covid has led most of us to more casual style -- I actually wear tennis shoes quite often to work which I would never have done before.
I am out all of the time as a teacher and around a lot of people. Since covid, I think besides the actual going back after covid (we went right back to school in August of 2020....the sickness was bad that year, but I did not get sick. 2021 I think many people were sick...but I never got sick. Whatever is going around now...everyone is getting it. I had covid in September and now some weird flu is going around. I am glad you stay in. My mom does too. Be safe!
I am with you on #10. I do consider myself religious...but I have a problem with one church saying they are the only way. Merry Christmas! Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend.
