How is 2024 Treating You So Far? & New Kit

Hope you are having a good New Year. Our first week wasn't too bad. We learned my husband's vision was worse and cataract surgery is going to be scheduled; not a surprise. We had ordered a new battery pack for my Dyson stick vacuum which had stopped holding a charge and kept going on and iff when I tried to use it. Hubby cleaned everything on the machine, put in the new battery pack and charged it and got same results. Later, talking to my son I learned he had experienced the same problem, tried everything and finally gave up. Plus hubby learned that the battery packs can overcharge and explode! This week? I'm hoping it doesn't continue like yesterday. I had ordered a Shark upright vac from Amazon and it wasn't expected until Monday. My husband decided to go to the grocery store right after opening and came home, lugging bags up to the porch to find a big box (the vac) blocking the doorway. He was outside calling to me (okay yelling my name). I was sleeping and had to get up, throw on my robe and rush to the door not knowing if something was wrong with him or what the situation was. In my rush, I somehow tripped, couldn't catch myself. Hit hard on my right knee and went down completely. He, of course, had no idea what was taking me so long. Took me a minute but I managed to get up, limp to door, and take the bags he was holding out to me as he tried to move the box completely away from door opening. We got the groceries into the kitchen and the box in the house. He had picked up breakfast so I ate that then swallowed 2 extra strength Tylenol, grabbed an ice pack from the freezer and headed to bed where I could put my legs up. And that did for my day! When I ventured into the living room later, I learned that the sound on our TV is going in and out. Well, we've had it many years now. So now we will be needing to get new TV; he can't get through the day without it. Still, things could be worse. I didn't break anything in my fall and we can afford to replace the things we need to. Now better news. I have a new kit for you that is suitable for any New Year's party photos you might have or any such occassions.
A couple of zips while I wait for Tylenol to kick in, then more another dayu. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2irw31xt2p4prkls5vyag/ws_TheSophisticate_el_1.zip?rlkey=mxtea92sw51v4n4tfcavku0u8&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2dq2hjowy9ksy2dtjal4d/ws_TheSophisticate_ppr_1.zip?rlkey=sirshwijzjvdwb0ge3jgbs3eh&dl=0
