If this year finishes with me employed, I forgive it EVERYTHING.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2014: so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good bye...
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.
Buh bye, 2014.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

May 2014 end well for everyone, and may the future years never do anything to me like this year did. Ave, my beloved. You and Shadow look out for each other.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh, it's open! Hi, thread. First 10?
I'll have to return once I have a suitable farewell summation.

Our wings are not tired.
Hello thread! Verdict is still out on 2014. Giving it a few weeks to redeem itself.

Hmm. There's been good and bad this year...I'd say overall tipping to the good but I'ma give it a few more weeks and hope it weights even more strongly that way. Hope.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Been a crazy year, and I probably won't have a final verdict until some time in January.
There was Arthur's kidney transplant and the adoption of Joey, the donor. Sadly, we lost Marie, but she made it to a ripe old age of 16. Sadly, I had to stop volunteering at the animal shelter because we don't want to risk transmitting infections to the immune-suppressed Arthur. Which also throws my post-retirement plans into confusion.
Work has been extremely busy as my boss is pushing me forward, thinking I might have a chance at a promotion. (I'm cooperating. But he's more optimistic about it than I am. We'll know more about who's right when annual evaluations come out, probably in January but possibly before the end of the year.)
Hubs seems to have settled in to retirement, finally. Now I need to keep him on his meds and make sure he gets enough sleep.

This year has been interesting, that's for sure. I lost my wallet in NYC and got it back, and going through that made me suspect that I might actually be an adult. I finally got to do some sightseeing in SF. I climbed a volcano in Ecuador. My dad had another heart attack. I hung out with people a lot and cooked a lot and walked a crapton of miles. I finally saw Eddie Izzard live. I started taking online classes, which has made my brain happier. And pretty soon I'm probably packing up my life and moving to the Bay Area after 8 years in Chicago. Provided that someone will hire me before I flip out like a mammal.
