2014 in review/2015 thoughts
Jan. 3rd, 2015 11:57 amWell, that's an easy review. 2014 sucked on many levels. Of course, it sucked much worse for others.
Got clear on the house, started the next projects. Didn't get them done. Current status: Heater not working, garbage disposal jammed and sink slow, living room not redone, hot tub (free, but moving cost $450) not wired or running, leak in roof.
Garden: frostkill of the tomatoes, all but one (of 8) cabbages gone, garlic bed surviving.
Vehicles: Dropped $2.5 K into van, working reliably now, but very near end of life.
Job: Lost it in February, glad to be out of there. 3 jobs promised by friends. Nope. Gone to final interview 6 times. No offers.
Relationship: Don't ask. Seriously, I don't know. The heart may have a mind of it's own, but I think that mind has been huffing glue.
Deaths: Less than some, but still feeling the loss. Learned from them.
Other things: Well, it's dark outside and cold inside, the garbage disposal and the heater don't work, and fuck it all, I'm building a tent.
UPDATE:
So, replaced the garbage disposal, have tested heater, looks like it's the thermocouple. Roof leak should be easy to seal.
I'm ... struck by my Aunt Sharon's death. She elected to come home, she had time to say goodbye, and my final memory (I choose one to hold) is her organizing family sing alongs. So I sang, with a cousin-in-law, while she was passing, and that's lead to musical theater (Lyric Theater). It's not exactly fun, but it is satisfying.
Greg Hines death has a lesson: fight for your life. I'm sorry to have missed him the final time, and hope he has found peace, although he always had a sort of nirvana...perhaps more resignation. Really, I think the world moving forward is going to be a happier place for people like him. Well, like him while he was alive...ask me in person sometime.
OTHER NOTES FROM LAST YEAR: Gained back a lot of the lost weight. Didn't travel much. Did dance at Clockwork Alchemy, did sing Handel's Messiah twice, did read a lot of good things. Started playing Ingress. Facilitated family through RPG and being there.
Rex got his back hurt; it's a messy situation.
Danny got married.
Resolutions: In 2015, there will be
15 Parties/dinners thrown (Pi Day, 2nd Thanksgiving, Birthday)
15 Dances Attended (Should have done a NYE Ball!) (Should go tonight...)(Crosston, CLockwork Alchemy)
15 Tournaments/Pas Fought in
And we'll see how it goes.
