2010 is drawing to a close and what can I say?
I still have my job, for a while it was touch and go as the powers that be re-structured the entire department. While I can celebrate keeping my job it was bitter-sweet as two of my co-workers lost theirs.
For the first time we got a real tree at Christmas, overall it was a good thing and an interesting experience.
I’ve averaged two posts a week for my blog which was my goal.
I got on twitter, I have 9 followers and I am following 17, granted I really don’t keep up with tweeting.
We did not add another pet to our menagerie, which is a good thing because we are out of room.
We did have successful release of possums and squirrels and a few mice that we caught in our live trap. However other mice that avoided the trap fell victim to our cats.
We got a good start to some home renovations and we have plans for more.
We have made some new friends that we have enjoyed spending time with and we have kept up with old friends.
We have had profound learning experiences mainly that no matter how devastating certain situations seem there is always a positive side.
When you get knocked down, you just have to stand up, and when you stand up, you have to help out those that are still down.
While we have our health issues, we are all alive and kicking.
Sequoia’s (our Husky) health issues were really trying but thanks to some great advice from two great vets (both here and away) she seems to be her old self. One of our older cats has some ongoing issues but she seems to have leveled out a little bit so we will just have to wait and see.
We actually went to a Penn State Football game, it was my first, and if I have anything to say about, my last.
It seems like this was a big year with many ups and downs. But as I sit here with 2 and half hours left of the year I really can’t think of everything that transpired, which reminds of something a friend of mine once said. “I am not sure what I do all day, but I’m always tired at the end of it”
Have a wonderful new year.
