Congratulations, Kate & M & Rose!
So, took my truck to the mechanic to get my busted defroster/heater looked at. It's a $90 part that requires tearing apart the whole dashboard to replace, so almost $900 for the repair. Apparently, the PTB are under the impression that doubling my Discover card balance in the space of a week and a half (in addition to paying for my truck being towed, I also had to pay my truck's registration and buy contacts this week!) is an awesome plan. They've had it since Monday and I still don't have it back so I made my excuses to the couple of hostesses who invited me to parties for tonight. I'm just hunkering down at home, riding out the storm. Well, as much as I'd hoped to get my credit cards paid down/paid off, I'm thankful that I have them. May they get less of a workout in '15!
And as always, thanks and love to all of you wonderful, supportive people. Best of Luck and Love to all of us in the New Year!
I'm glad you are climbing, Zen. Yay Ireland!
I keep thinking I'll do a big old introspective ramble-y post, but maybe it'll suffice to say it's been a pretty good year in MinusTeeLand with steady employment and not much in the way of disaster and I'm well positioned for a solid rebuilding year in 2015 (as I feel like I say every year, doesn't make it not true)
Cheers!
I like that, -t, a Rebuilding Year.
I'm still working, and my job's not going to Poland anymore. (Though I will have to start acting a little more professional due to being moved to a desk much closer to the GM's office; it won't actually kill me, and might be good for me to straighten up a bit). Back in school as of Jan 5. Still in reasonably good health, in a perfectly pleasant home. Would like to be in a relationship, but even without one, still in possession of many good friends. Really, a perfectly good existence (from which to begin rebuilding).
Congratulations, Kate, Mark, and Rose! Happy 2015, everybody!
Kate, this is the BEST news!!! Congratulations!!!!
Congrats Kate!
It seems I forgot to subscribe to this thread. I wondered where it was...whoops!
Brenda! Your gift arrived! I love the cookbook! And Oz loved his toy. I don't know what kind of catnip was in it, but within minutes he was tearing across the living room with it. Thanks so much!
Congrats Kate!
2014 was a pretty good year for us. The highlight was our trip to London and Dublin , centered around Worldcon.

Me too. This is my Rebuilding Year. The foundation is solid, but the house needs some DIY.
Rebuilding sounds good. The last two years have not been easy but it seems as if things are looking up. The idea of travel (actual vacations!) no longer seems like a pipe dream, so that's exciting. And other, less exciting, but necessary things are in the realm of possibility. May 2015 be a time for more responsible adulting, more quality playtime, and no more funerals.
