Goodbye and Good Riddance 2015: Goodnight moon
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.
Go away, 2015.
There were a couple bright spots in 2015 for me - I paid off my mortgage in March, and I had a grand time in the PNW in May celebrating my BF's birthday/graduation. But most of this year has passed by in a dim, sad blur of depression and loss. There's five weeks of forced cheerfulness to get through, and then 2015 will vanish in a bang of fireworks over the Thames. 2016 has got to be better. Another year like this one, I can't deal.
Wishing us all whatever strength is needed to get through the holiday season.
I paid off my mortgage in March
That is a HUGE deal. Congratulations!
Thanks, Suzi. It was one of my most important goals, financially and emotionally, to have a home of my own.
This thread title makes me tear up. It's perfect.
Thoughts about my year later when I'm not buried under deadlines.
What an appropriate name.
That's great, Zen! That is quite an accomplishment.
What an appropriate name.
Oh. Oh. I just got that. Yes, And oh.
Oh, fuck.
I had some good times this year, but it's been tainted by loss, and by my father's decline, and my own health issues. But I did finally land a permanent job, and I got a new dog, and a kitchen. And I started singing with a community chorus. I can't do the math on all that, though.
