1 to 50 -- 2010
This year...most of you have been around for it. I've been out of work the whole time. Kat passed away in February. S is a mess; prescription drug abuse isn't pretty. (However, I have been enticed into schnauzer-sitting for her when she and T go to their Key West time-share in a matter of weeks.)
In general, life goes on, and starting tomorrow, it's going to go on with me beyond my 40s. Big Red said in an email this morning that she's never seen anyone so excited about turning 50. I replied that I was hoping I'd finally feel like a grown-up. She LOL'ed, but I was kinda serious.
This countdown was something I embraced without thinking it through, and nearly succumbed to summer malaise a few times. I may have left things out; it's not easy to remeber exactly when things happened, or they may have not made it into an otherwise busy entry, as with BC and NJ's wedding, which was in the spring of the year my dad died. (1985)
If there's something you think I've skipped over, I WILL take questions---can be about life, fic, cast of peripheral characters, whatever. If you think I've left something essential out, let me know. I'll allow commenters ONE question, and I reserve the right to remain silent if I think something is TMI that you'd be better off not knowing.
It's been real, folks!
