Day 15: Highs and lows over the past year
Well. The past year was pretty sucky.
Lows: the husband was laid off when they let his department go. That sucked. He interviewed for seven months and found a limited term position, then back to the interviewing and sending resumes. • I also attempted (and am still) to find something and it’s been crickets. • My mom had four surgeries after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Not fun at all. She is now cancer free and I’m thankful and praise God for that. • Politics made me depressed and angry. I’m trying not to let those things get to me as much (no such luck). I was glad 2018 ended.
Highs: my middle daughter won awards for her art and my son loves band and piano. I love that one is artsy and one is musical. My oldest has made two fun games in her gaming classes, I think it’s pretty impressive. • One thing that gave me a lot of joy was finding a podcast I’ve mentioned on this very blog, RU Talkin’ R.E.M. Re:ME? If you’ve been reading for more than a few days, you know that I’m a huge music fan. R.E.M. is one of my favorite bands and hearing two fans who happen to be actors playing half of each song on each album, all the B-sides, the fan club singles, demos and dissecting each song and album, personally rating them — it’s great. Scott Auckerman and Adam Scott (Scott and Scott) are super silly for probably 25 minutes before getting into the albums, but goodness gracious — it’s a good show. • It was a weird year, so finding highs are hard. I got to see my hometown friends that I hadn’t seen in a while, so that was great. Again, I have really great friends and they’re the best. I’m hoping for a great 2019. For all of us.
