Goodbye and Good Riddance 2011: Maybe the even years are better  

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. 2011? Room for improvement. Srsly.

I have 1) coffee beans rolled in white chocolate and cinnamon and 2) milk chocolate cubes filled with espresso praline cream. Don't they sound wonderful?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Can we buy these? Can msbelle sell 'em? Make a damn mint!

And yes, msbelle is awesome.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yow.

2011 downs: worked as a $10.25/hr file clerk, then worked as a $9.50/hr supermarket cashier. Still scared to look at my final grade on the really hideously difficult programming course I took in the spring. I actually did learn a lot and sharpened up my programming skills, but I turned in assignments that only half-worked at best.

More bad 2011: Mom's health took another hit this fall, and she's on 24/7 oxygen now, and is reacting to this with panic attacks and depression and what's called 'medical anorexia. She's 89 and still sharp, so it's hard to watch.

More bad 2011 for my immediate family: one brother continues to have impaired use of his left arm/hand and will go through another surgery to help relieve pressure on nerves this week. Other brother had a persistent sore throat, went to the doctor, was referred to another, who called a top Nose Ear Throat guy and was in surgery within the week for a cancerous tonsil. My 82yo aunt (mom's only sibling) fell and got a concussion two weeks before Christmas.

And my roommate is still struggling with chronic depression and serious health issues, and is supposed to be going to an inpatient program at McLean's in a couple weeks.
