DH is home from the hospital. Happy New Year, 2006! You get a second stroke! Two days in the hospital, many tests, and the sum is minimum deficits on the left side (woo! matched pair!) this time, and a long grouchy time until he's cleared to drive again. Having a grandson in the house is a lucky thing. His car is very comfy and the chaufferage is excellent. Also having a person not me (he is Very Large and also A Man) to counter the grouchy is splendid. We all look forward to improvements in 2006's presentation.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2025: This too shall pass. Like a kidney stone.
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, and wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.Take stock, reflect, butch, moan, vent, celebrate. We are all here for it. So long 2025; do better 2026.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
{{{Beverly and fam}}} Glad you have the grandson handy!

Oh geez Bev. Glad it’s not worse but sorry it is at all!
Gotta say 2026 is not impressing me so far (*cough*Venezuela*cough*).

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
2025 sucked a lot for me and mine.
My mom passing is a major reason. Mr. S being at the RTC all year is another. Perimenopause is hitting hard, between the hot flashes and the interrupted sleep every night.
Of course there's all the crap the government has pulled. I did not lose my job due to DOGE shenanigans, but two of my labmates did. Also having to work without pay for over a month was no fun.
There were a couple of good things in 2025. We got to Worldcon in Seattle, and that was fun. We also adopted two kittens in February. They turned 1 in August, and are still very high energy, and very entertaining.
Not liking the way 2026 is going so far...
