Happy End of a Decade

It's been a decade devoted to chaos and confusion in a lot of ways. Our basic core family changed and changed again. Hopefully the changes will stabilize now. Our finances have been up and down. TC had a heart attack and retired from the university and wrote a book. My job has gotten more difficult and complicated, but I still have a job, and it's not a bad job. I have picked up more skills and learned about social networking. (Twitter is addictive, but it is also a great way to pick up new information and meet interesting people.)

I couldn't remember what we did for New Year's Eve #Tenyearsago, but tc reminded me that we sat around watching the new millenium arrive (although we missed it in the Central Time Zone.)

This New Year's Eve is going to be just family (including Marq and Patrick) and we are going to have cheese and crackers and bagna cauda.

I'm looking forward to the new decade.

Happy New Year, Barb!

I'm currently having to tighten my belt here financially, as I'm currently on shorter work hours. :| But at least I've got my health back now, and no massive debts to speak of.
