14,783 Days Alive
7 Days Until Christmas Eve
1 Possible Future Road Trip for the Holiday?
I am looking back over all that has happened in 2025. It’s not all sunshine and roses, but there was growth.
Okay. So. Since January 2025, and in no particular order, I have:
- Gone back to college for my Associates in Medical Billing and Coding
- Broke up with a long-term partner, turned forty, drove from IN to WI with my cat & 1/3 of my life in the back seat of my car, met my older ( by 7 months!) half brother on my biodad’s side and moved in w/him & his hubby in the space of 24 hours
- Made the Dean’s List (twice!)
- Got laid off from my full-time job
- Decided to self-partner until I have my life put back on a track where I like where I’m going
- Got a part-time gig 1099ing for a paralegal
- Resolved to start my own LLC
- Started not being the only one who was primary cook in the home
- Got in contact with a few old friends
- Got a 2nd part time job (~2wks ago)
- Met my younger half brother on my biodad’s side and broke bread with my older brother Lucian (also his half sibling) and his hubby, the new younger brother Ellis, his hilarious wife Maeve, and their little one, Myles
- Got accepted into the Alpha Beta Kappa Honor’s Society for my college
- Made at least one new friend here in WI
- Got to visit the local botanical gardens with my former datemate, Llama, who came up for a week to see me
- Made plans to walk for my college graduation in Fall 2026
- Put really pretty curtains up in my window, both to block light and help control temps in my room
- Got to visit the local zoo with Lucian, Briana, and Llama for Lucian’s birthday
- Checked out at least 3 books a month from the local library
- Visibly lost weight, but I don’t own a scale so who knows how much
- Asked for help when I needed it
- Am in the process of going through every Amazon list I had and purging most silly, useless things
- Made a friend at work
- Started crocheting a rug for my room
So. A whole fucking lot going on.
I made a massive pot of chicken enchilada soup for dinner this evening. It was AWESOME!
In any case, I am slowly compiling a Goals to Meet list, along with the steps I would need to complete them! I hope to have it up by NYE 2025.
Take your meds, folks!
