Never Mind the Bollocks

Here's the six annuals:

6 Things To Be Thankful For:

• Sock


• Sok + Talula + giffydoll + all the rest (you know who you are!)


• Neat place to live


• Good medical/mental health services


• T the C, and D the D (you know who you are!)


• Dawn. Every time I sit in a dark sleepless night and watch the building light shadow and shape the air, I'm grateful for dawn. It proves that time moves even when the minutes are glued to yesterday.

6 Things I Wished I'd Done Differently:

• Wish I'd talked things through with Deb before moving out


• Wish I'd kept Sock from getting pregnant


• Wish I'd tried to be a bit more open with my family earlier on in the year


• Wish I'd not dug myself this deep into anorexia


• Wish I hadn't bought Henry, that was a good lesson (p.s henry, good hunting)


• Wish I'd caught the blimmin' mouse in the cupboard. I stalked it over 3 nights but I never got a glimpse. All I can hear is "nibble nibble *snigger* nibble". It's disturbing when rodentia get uppity.

6 Things I'm Glad I Did:

• Moved to Canterbury


• Quit smoking


• Discovered oils


• Discovered Cocker Spaniels


• Flying trips up to Wgtn


• Bought a fridge

6 Things I Want To Do:

• Buy a vacuum cleaner


• Paint and develop that as much as I can


• Write two more 10,000-word stories so that I have a (marketable?) set


• Concentrate on Sock's training and certification to international Animal Assistant standards


• Work at my relationships with family, build and enjoy relationships with friends


• Work hard in psychotherapy and continue to understand my life a little more

That's my annual sixes! What're yours?

ALSO!!!

Every year I say this and every year people say "oh never mind" and then they get their feelings hurt because I AM NO GOOD AT DATES. Or remembering significant days.

So! IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO REMEMBER {Insert meaningful and/or fun event or memorial here} PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I am updating my calendar over the next few days so be in to be on.

You can email me or you can post a comment.

AND FINALLY...

Check out this website (better if you have broadband, worth the wait if you don't) www.meettheluckyones.com. It's a car commercial that is really... unusual in its approach.

(and thank you HP for saying my blog is well-constructed! whee! *grin* )
