Well….not sure if I need to do a summary of the year but I don’t have any other ideas so here goes….not going to touch on anything political today because, if you’ve been here before, you know how I feel about the destruction of this country by the traitorous repubs…this one will be a little more personal since quite a few things have happened…I got to see Steely Dan here in GR and it was one of the best shows I’ve seen them do even if Walter wasn’t there….still couldn’t find a job and ran out of money so I had to take my SS early to continue to pay the rent and eat….and that took a big load off and got rid of the knot that was constantly in my stomach….in my 4th month of that now and have paid all my bills and have a couple of grand in the bank but I am still in cheap mode and haven’t really bought any of the stuff that I need yet…I think I’ll wait a while for that so I can get a good sized cushion in the bank for any emergencies that may come up. Still no health problems to speak of but my back has been in pain on and off for most of the year….has been good lately so I guess I’ll not complain about that…..I have had a bunch of allergies that have been bugging me but most of the time I don’t need to take anything for it so that’s another thing to not bitch about….I have been feeling a little isolated lately with being here most of the time…but I guess it’s just another new part of life that I’ll have to get used to….and I am good at being alone…so it won’t be too hard…..Happy New Year!
