It has been pointed out to me lately that I have been
grossly neglecting my blog. I have been, for the most part, uninspired
and maybe a little head cobwebby when it comes to writing. I have started
many a post only to abort the mission because I just thought it was not full of
the sarcasm and wit necessary to share. I blame winter, craft beer and
slow neurons.
A lot has happened in the last few months….. one of the
money suckers moved out of the house…. I know what you were thinking… Jail?
Joined the circus? No, the boy actually moved out in a grand gesture of
adulthood and is, I am happy to report, still alive! One down, two to
go! (Going to point out here that with said moving out I also got to
welcome two new members to my tribe, one of whom it turns out is now on my list
of favourite people ever and the other, my new Grandkitty, who does not like me
because he is the orange, very large version of Grumpy Cat and we all know
orange cats are soulless little devils, but I love him anyway! )
The youngest money sucker got a part time job and now
officially has more money than me. Of course the little buggar has no
bills to speak of so can squirrel away all the cash he wants to. I am
choosing to think of his job at such a young age as a parenting win.
Gotta take them when I can.
It was a busy year with more travel, less time in arenas
with catty ass sports parents and more time outside seeing the world. It
has been a year of insane reflection, some of those Oprah “Ah Ha” moments and a
few disturbing seriouslys?? (one of which included a hospital visit that turned
into a long term hotel stay, for reasons I hope to expel in a post titled “Yes,
my Mother IS Crazy, Why Do You Ask?)
Most importantly I also found out this year that sometimes
walking, not running, can heal your heart and calm your soul. I
have decided that 2018 will include more adventure, more uncomfortable shit
that makes me grow as a person (and I don’t mean FAT, I can do that without any
challenge at all!) and finding a way to make my life BIGGER (because sometimes
“better” is too lofty a goal!)
