Well, apart from the 14 month wait.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2007: Heaven's Just a Funky Moose
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2007? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

2007.
The year seemed to be going well, everything seemed on track. It looked like things were headed for a banner year. And then in September, everything came off the rails. There was a complete meltdown. Nothing would go right. It was a collapse of legendary proportions.
God dammit, the Mets really blew it this year.
As for me—let’s just say that I made progress this year. My 40th birthday was awesome. I’m a more aware of my feelings. I’m willing to take a few more risks. But therapy has gotten dark for me lately. I’ve hardly touched on the really hard stuff, and I wonder if I can go through with it. But then again, I really don’t have much of a choice. I can’t stand being alone any more.

I'm getting the pig!
apart from the 14 month wait
That long, eh? You'd think I would've noticed, but nsm. And I loved everything! Thank you again. It couldn't have arrived at a better time.
Also, Ashton almost slashed my fingers off just now for another pinch of the catnip. Total crackhead.
Yay for progress, Tom! May you find the strength you need to get through the dark.

Did I say 14? I meant 4.
Yeah, that's it. It was 4!

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
I just said Goodbye, but not Good Riddance, to the last of my fruitcake from Anne.
Well, I guess I can do a wrap up, since there isn't much left to this year.
Overall it's been a pretty decent year for me personally. I continued to work on some health-related issues, I got to make new friends and stay connected with old friends, and I got to actually get off my duff and exercise which led to completing my first race ever!
This year wasn't a great one for my dad, although there is a plus there too. After six months of being a hospital patient, he has been deemed well enough rehabbed and no longer has to go back to the hospital! He will still need some PT, but he can do that from their local guy. He has made SO much progress since I was there in October.
2008 will be the year for me to continue working on that finding a significant other thing. I will also have some possible work upheaval, as one of the people I work with is driving me completely batty. This may possibly be the timing to truly start my own practice. I am also trying to figure out how many triathlons I can participate in for 2008. I'm going to aim for 3; in for a penny, in for a pound and all that. I will also need to be doing some running races. All in all I expect to be quite fit at the end of next year.

Um, Lee, I have DVDs too. Wanna borrow any? Or anything else?

Wow. I just happen to have Due South. What are the odds of that? t snerk
Seriously, I was joking about the gift hint, but not about the offer. If you send your snail mail to my profile addy, I'd be happy to send you them. I think I may have even had your snail mail in the past, but finding it at this point would be amazing. And I might even get the DVDs to you in a reasonable amount of time! Maybe.
