Oh, asyke. From the very few glimpses I caught at Bitches this year, I knew you had a rough year, but I had no idea it was this rough and ground shattering. I'm sorry. May 2016 bring you the stability, love, and healing needed. Much ~ma from here.

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.

Always Anti-fascist!
I thought my year was going to be okay, if not quite as beautiful or magical as I might prefer, but I guess it bit me hard on its way out.

Thrive to spite them
Thanks Shir. Just having support around me is helpful. Hard to get used to at times but helpful.
Well on thing is looking up with the help of Dad I have a car. The payments will be manageable. Honda Fit. The sales guy was nice.
The first place we went to the sales guy was a former high school coach...he lacked tact.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, this year.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, fuck this year.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Seriously. And yet, this year has been wonderful for some of us too -- I'm thinking in particular of the Buffista babies born this year, including my own. But it came in with a really shitty bang, and appears to be going out the same way.
As I said to a friend recently (a cancer survivor who just found out that she has a whole new type of cancer, and whose children both got engaged this year), don't you just want a little less LIFE in your life, sometimes? Enough with the huge ups and downs; I could go for some tranquility for a while.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, don't wish for that. Tranquility, yes; less life in your life - I understand why, but, well, we should know to be careful with wishes, right?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
No, you're right, of course -- I suppose I should come up with a better way to phrase that, at least. Let's just go with tranquility, then.

Goodnight moon...so perfect and heartbreaking. 2015 has been a hard Buffista year and I hope the coming year is brighter.
Personally, 2015 has been pretty positive. We have:
- Relocated to NC from CA
- Experienced first snow (my boys, that is)
- Moved into our new home
- Turned 2 (F) and about to turn 6 ( !!!)
- Visited often with grandparents, cousins, uncles, aunts (previously saw them ~1 per year)
- Started Kindergarten (!!!!)
- Got a new job (me, last month - same company)
- Stopped nursing forever (sob)
- Visited CA (DW and I in separate trips)
Hoping for a lovely, peaceful year for you, my Buffistae. Hugs and love.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I was looking back at my DW to refresh my memory of what happened this year. The third entry is about ita. Not long after that is me talking about needing my AD adjusted. Not long after that, my great-aunt died. In August, my husband got fired, in an unfair and traumatic way.
This has maybe not been the best year.
There was good, of course -- I went to cons and saw friends, shrift came to New Orleans and we did Mardi Gras, husband and I went on a cruise.
I've been so angry for the past several months, because so many people are hateful and wrong. Guns, gay rights, women's rights, poverty, tolerance -- I just don't understand why people are like this.
And then Ginger. It's a hell of a way to end the year. I'm going to try to be less angry and more productive, in several ways.
