Just out of bed from my second nap today, and thinking slow, medicine-heavy thoughts about the end of the year. I didn't work in 2009, or drive a car, or take a class. I feel like I spent the whole year failing to accomplish.
Booberry asked me if I had any resolutions for 2010, and I said "to get through it." It seems like the years are getting worse instead of better for me, and I'll be starting this one with a sinus infection and a move to Massachusetts. Not so auspicious, but it should get better, because soon I'll have a temp job. I really, really hope that the job there works out, that I find a good one back here in the spring, that I'm able to finally make some forward progress with my life again. I'm worried about what I owe my parents, whether I can hang on to the lake house, what will happen in Boston, whether any of the things I've wanted do with my life will be possible.
This is a depressing New Year's post! On the other hand, I'm very glad that so many of my friends are still working jobs they love, are getting educated for a better future, have gotten married, have started or expanded families, have had great experiences that made this year special. I'm thankful for this year at Orb, for the help and support of my team and kids, and thankful for all the friends who've done so much for me this year. I hope I won't need your help next year, just your awesome selves. :-)
