2009

Things may not have been great

In 2008 -

But they’re going to be fine

In 2009!

That's my new mantra, folks. I've been very quiet for several months - I was without a computer at home for several weeks' worth of that time, so posting wasn't convenient - nor, to be frank, have I had much good to say about anything - 2008 was not my favorite year, as my employment situation has become more critical (I'm not alone in this, I realize, but let's face it: when you're single and wake up at 3AM and start worrying about it, you ARE alone in it) and ended on a sad note with the deaths of a beloved uncle, aged 90 (my mother's brother-in-law, and the last of the aunts and uncles on that side of the family) and a dear friend who was only 4 years older than I.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, everybody!
