2015, what can I say. It started out real strong, my early schedule (off on weekends, and by 12:30 week days) combined with my BFF being self employed meant I spent a lot of the year hanging out and swimming with her. I also spent a lot of time stressing about work. The summer was my best ever, leading into a fall full of mishaps and disappointments and being suddenly unemployed. Vehicles breaking down, uncertainty about the future, health problem after health problem for the dogs.
I like looking to the new year as a starting point. 2016 will be better for me. Good lookin' out 2015, I was ready for you to be over.
