    Falling victim to IT Band syndrome and having to drop out of what would have been my first full marathon. Also missed a half.. hopefully making the dream happen this year!

    I would have to say that the biggest disappointment would be 12-21-12. I expected a lot more. And no jetpacks.

    Was a tough year.

    - Started with my cat getting sick, ended up spending $7,000 in vet bills and surgery. For that We will be in debt for a while
    -Then my car blew a head gasket, wasn't worth fixing so I scrapped it
    -Bought a car that ended up having damaged tie rods = $1,300 in repairs
    -got backed into by my neighbor (dealing with pain in the *kitten* insurance companies)
    -Relationship ending with drama (I hate drama)
    -place I work going out of business (will probly not have a job soon)

    Ppllllleeease let 2013 be better!

    I wasn't a very good daughter at times. I'm so blessed to have an amazing mother, she loves me despite my many, many faults :heart:

    3 grandparents and a grandma-in-law dying (one of whom had a HUGE hand in raising me.....my maternal grandpa who was more like a father figure in some ways as my dad wasn't ever really in the picture. I sacrificed my job to care for him, and am currently unemployed :frown:), my MIL dying, and then the icing on the cake was the in-law's dog having to be put down today (they had had his mom when she was pregnant, and as she had a c-section, she rejected her entire litter, and the pups were hand raised. Beans was 15 years old now....I've been in the family & his life for the past 9 years). My one living grandma having to have surgery, and coming out with cognitive defecits (dementia is kicking in) and having a lot of problems with lymphedema afterwards. Plus a friend's 6 month old dying, and some other family friends dying as well. My car dying. Being told I possibly have some potentially serious health issues and being referred to a specialist (appt on the 4th....) in regards to that.

    Bad, bad year overall. I'm more than happy to welcome 2013!

    Nothing majorly awful happened for me, just endless rounds of little tiring things that added up to one exhausted and crabby and lonely Nordic Alien.

    ~ I got sick at the end (well, Oct) of 2011. Doctors said it would take many months for me to feel right again, which I laughed at. Of course I would recover fast! They had no idea how tough I was! Yeah. Didn't happen. First time I went out socially, ie not for grocery shopping or school or general chores, was May. October to May is a long time not to have an evening out with friends, or at least one that didn't involve uni classes. I lost more or less all my friends during the first half of this year. People often don't stick around when you spend two weeks deciding whether or not to die, and then seven months recovering and not being fun.

    ~ Seven months recovering, most of it spent in bed, caused an intestinal blockage and a weight gain of 60 or 65 pounds between Oct 2011 and Dec 2012. (Weight gain was partly from the lack of exercise and partly from food taking weeks to pass through. Sorry if TMI.)

    ~ My relationship with my brother's family continues to fail. I don't know what I can do to make it better. They just don't seem to want me or my mom around.

    ~ I miss K. This is not a new thing. I missed K for most of last year too. But I was hoping that by this year I wouldn't miss him. Or at least miss him less.

    ~ Finding out that my ex-bf, who wandered back into my life this spring after cutting me out of it a couple years back, turned into Christian Grey when I wasn't looking. And not in the buying-me-cars-and-computers way. That I could have tolerated. :)

    ~ Getting told on November 5th that a magazine wanted to pay me for a piece of writing. It still hasn't been published and I still haven't been paid, and there's no word on when this will happen. It wasn't much - £75, which is maybe $130 - but I really need the money!

    Inviting my mother back into my life after some very hurtful words had me evicting her from my life. (Last year's new years resolution was to get in contact with, and stay in contact with, my family)

    She's been evicted once more...

    I hoped to have a higher average to my bachelor's degree, but eventually got an 86% (kind of like B+). I would have liked it to be closer to 90% (A), and it's too bad I didn't try a little harder to get there.

    Also I'm still unhappy with my job, and I do hope I manage to find something more fitting this year.

    Holy crapola so many. 2012 was not a great year. That said, it ended splendidly and it's a new year so I'm not going to focus on the sucky moments anymore.

    That I still haven't found the magic portal where all of my friends are getting their boyfriends/husbands. Only dudes I get attention from are the 11-13 year olds I teach! :laugh:

    Ha!
