Thanks, Suzi. It was one of my most important goals, financially and emotionally, to have a home of my own.

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.
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.
I received a box of goodies from Greater Good today! Chocolate covered expresso beans, Brownie mix, a chocolate bar, and a ring. So cool and so nice on a day when I can't breath due to this darned cold. I'm assuming this is from my Santa. Thank you muchly!!! I will wait until I can actually taste things again before I taste the noms.
This was a year with more than its fair share of grieving for me, with both one of my closest cousins and ita passing away. But overall it's been a good year for me—I seem to be in a good place depression-wise, got out more to visit with friends and travel, have work under control, got a substantial raise, am enjoying my pets much more, and my parents seem to be in pretty good health for their ages.
This thread title is amazing and heartbreaking.
And yet this year has been...kind of awesome for me personally, mostly for my writing career.
Well, my grandfather died, but besides that.
I feel weird being all "2015 was GREAT" right now so I'll wait to do a thing.
Oh ita
It's been a year, hasn't it?
