2006, let's see...
2006 involved a lot of adjustment. New job (which became officially mine as of the beginning of April), new house (still being worked on, with the last round of work being finished only this past Friday, fairly non-existent RL social life (not necessarily a bad thing, but still...)
2006 also involved a nasty health scare with some woozy spells with some symptoms that were a little too close to "you are having a heart attack" territory. It meant a stress test and a month with a heart monitor, but the good news is, the woozy spells aren't due to anything harmful, and my heart was considered healthy enough for me to be invited to participate as part of a control group in a study, so yay. I have also managed to lose 60 pounds over the past year and a half, and there's every chance I'll make my goal weight in 2007.
2006 was also the year of my twentieth high-school reunion, which was generally enjoyable, although I'm a little disappointed that none of the "we must get together!" exclamations have yielded any fruit. Yet. I shall put out feelers in the new year. It also caused me some moments of deep thought as I realized that I'm not very advanced in my career (a natural side-effect of a career change, alas), and was one of only two people in my class who is not attached and/or does not have a child. I'm not bothered by this, just... thoughtful.
In 2007, I will start teaching knitting again, which is something I am very much looking forward to, even though there's some anxiety since it's been nearly two years since I've taught.
I am very glad I was able to make it to the F2F this year, and see some of my favorite people in person. I feel so fortunate to have this group as a place not just to play but to come to when I'm in need of support.
