Hearing that today is 'Old New Year', I felt that I’d been sent a lifeline!

It's not been the greatest start to 2020 for me so far: firstly, my overworked computer decided that it needed a 10 day 'rest' (AKA crash and complicated, protracted reset); and secondly, my car decided that it didn't like where I'd parked it at school pick up and that it would be far happier down the hill... in a Mercedes! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Of course, neither (fortunately!) were life-threatening and they absolutely fall into the category of first world problems, but it still didn't feel like the most promising start to the year. As it is additionally the start of a new decade, this new year appeared to take on even greater significance and I was beginning to feel as if I’d blown the prospects of all of the coming 10 years in less than 10 days!

Complete overreaction, of course. However, I do feel like I’ve been given a second chance today.
