hi!<\/p>\n
2011… didn’t suck.<\/p>\n
i visited the ER a couple times. got an organ sucked out of my belly button. went to LONDON! and PARIS! paid off a bank loan i’d been carrying (in one form or another) since 1997. had the best 39th birthday a girl could hope for. gave blood — twice! bought a new couch. i wore dresses! met George Stroumboulopoulos and he is still my voicemail message. i learned to love my kindle. played with glass & painted pottery. i purged, purged and purged again. and, i got my hair professionally coloured for the first time.<\/p>\n
of course, it wasn’t all bubble tea & kittens. i had a lot of stress and a lot of SAD. i struggled but i think i made it through in one piece. maybe even a little bit better than i was before it started.<\/p>\n
i didn’t feel like ringing in 2012 with a lot of hoopla. i stayed at home, ate pizza, watched some tv and was in bed by 10pm. i was woken by yelling neighbours just before midnight and stayed awake to hear the year tick over. then i kissed a kitten head and went back to sleep.<\/p>\n
for this year, i’m not asking for a lot. i’d like it to be free of hospitals, big bills and anxiety\/depression. i’d like it to be filled with more friends, kitten bellies and adventures. i want to get back to the gym. i want to eat more veggies. i want to continue to reduce the things i’m caretaking so that i can spend more time with the people (and kittens) i care for. i want to be smarter with my money. i want to be a better daughter, friend and employee.<\/p>\n
mostly, i want to not freak the fuck out because i’m turning 40 this summer. ugh.<\/p>\n
2012. wtf, right? that was freakin’ science fiction when i was a kid. who knew we’d actually be alive to see it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
