Year in review
2009 was... a year.
Lost a job, found a new one, wish I hadn't taken it.
Took a 20% pay cut, still trying to get the budget straightened out.
Traded off a car I loved while trying to save a little money, ended up with something I don't care for at minimal savings.
Bought my second motorcycle, had a great ride down home for BBB.
Lost a friend to cancer, other friends had their first child.
Met a great girl, that's the only thing that actually went right.
It's easy to dwell on the negatives, but on the whole 2k9 wasn't much better or worse than any other year. There were good times and bad, laughter and tears, moments of sunshine and rain. I've still got my family and friends, that's all I really need.
There will be changes in 2010, whether it's a new job or going back to school I don't know yet. I just know that something has to change, I can't stay where I am. Would love to be able to move south this year, but that probably won't happen for another couple of years.
So, I expect 2010 to be much like 2009. Only with less suck, hopefully.
