My 2008 year in review
Well, im 27 as of a couple of days ago, and though I am late to post this, here we go.
My usual year end tradition was sitting on yahoo with no one but Ryan Holliday on, talking about how big of a loser we are! Thankfully that was broken this year as I spent New Years at work. I was with my boys, who I enjoy greatly taking care of, and I was a little cranky being away from someone... but I was glad I was there with them as they have no family.
I did get a "wonderful" gift on New Years. I was stuck in the ditch just before the Animal Shelter sign coming back from Nona's. The snow had just piled on, and I was almost home when the guy in front of me locks them up. I tap my breaks to slow down and start sliding sideways. I try to stop it but cant, and start heading towards a big rock that would have totaled my truck.
Just before disaster strikes I hit a smaller rock, and trade a small dent in the plastic part of my bumper for an insurance claim. I will admit I got lucky, and am thankful for it. Right behind me was a state trooper who called the wrecker, and right behind him was the salt truck, whom I cussed. What I hated so much was spending two hours in the ditch, waiting on the tow.
But, my faith in humanity was restored somewhat, as fifteen, yes 15 different cars stopped to see if I was ok. Some of them with no hope of helping me besides the use of a cell phone. I felt good about it, but after awhile I was like "quit stopping I keep having to turn the heat on from having to roll my window down!!!" It was an amazing experience in that right, but the tow truck driver refusing to tow me home capped off the evening.
As for the year in review.
I have held the job I have the longest of any job I have ever had that requires 40 hours a week regular work. I really enjoy it but wish I had internet for my 3 am boredom!!! I like taking care of other people a lot better than I thought I would, as long as no asswiping is involved, which it isnt. With them adding life,health, and cancer insurance... I may stay there a long time.
My ladies' mom killed herself this summer, which at first put a large rock in between us. And then, one day she just became... well clingy is a word, but not the one id use. Now she calls me everyday, sometimes twice if I dont see her. She spends even more time with my parents. She is making a lot of 180s in her life, but her dad getting remarried, on my birthday, hasnt helped. Her health problems have resurfaced, mainly the possibility of a hysterectomy, which worries me a lot. I dont know what the future will bring...
School is great. I finish my history masters which will allow me to do jack shit more or less this coming year :)) I also start the mental health counseling program this spring. I am really excited about not having to drive 2 hours to go to class, and am looking forward to learning more about the field I work in.
I have also lost almost 40 pounds these last 4 months, which is great.
I regret not spending more time with my friends, and having to have to make hard choices.
This coming year my resolution is to loose even more weight, work hard in school, and maybe knock someone up :)) But seriously, I can see life getting much better for me soon.
