I’m hopeful about 2017 being a good year. That being said, 2016 was a really weird year for me. Not necessarily bad, not necessarily good, just… weird.
In February, I got a job offer out of the blue. Also, three year anniversary.
In April, my apartment gave me fleas. And a panic attack. Thanks, former apartment. But before all that, we gave our first cat her first bath and yikes. That tiny girl made it sound like we were murdering a baby. For some reason we ended up doing this at 2am… Sorry, apartment neighbors.
In May, I commuted 2-3 hours to work. Occasionally I avoided the long drive by sleeping at the office or in a van.
In June, my car was simultaneously nearly hit by a falling tree and slightly hit by downed power lines in the same moment. Life lesson: when I got out of the car, I’m lucky I didn’t get badly electrocuted. Also, my partner said to me, “Look at this kitten up for adoption. She looks like she has poop on her face!” Then we got our second cat.
In July, we moved into a fabulous little duplex. Our landlord is awesome.
In November, my Grammy died, and my partner came with me to Montana and met my dad’s side of the family. I finally confirmed that I’m not the only queer member of said family. (Who knew?) Also, I won NaNoWriMo. Thanks, Grammy. Meanwhile, my country elected an Oompa Loompa to be president.
In December, I started getting more serious about freelance work, finished all my Christmas shopping on time and under budget, and felt like a gd adult in ways I never have before. Weird.
In conclusion… Happy New Year everybody!
Happy New year! 😀

Certainly some strange goings on, better than being bored though!
Happy new year.

Haha, yeah, I “lived an interesting life.” I’m okay with 2017 being a little less interesting.
Happy New Year! 🎆

Here’s to a better 2017 and as for the whole oompa lumpa thimg. We can hope he talks a long walk off a short pier and maybe if we are lucky Jaws will enjoy the snack. 😉

Yeah, I’m sure he’ll do something bad enough to get impeached eventually. But then we’ll be stuck with Pence, who’s a dick when it comes to LGBT rights. Idk, it’s going to be a long four years.

You are right there. I dont know how this country managed to elect a political virgin and corperate thief to our highest politcal office.

Interesting year! I like how you’ve highlighted every month — I can’t say my memory is nearly half as good as yours… probably not even a tenth! Sounds like you’ve had a year of improvements and changes for the better — except I am sorry about your Grammy. Other than that, here’s to a new and amazing year!

The fleas and nearly being squashed/electrocuted kinda stood out. The rest I miiiight have approximated when they happened. Writer’s prerogative. 😋
But yes, many changes for the better. Even Grammy… She’d made her peace and was ready to go.
