Another year is in the can. I’ve been looking back at my posts the past year to see what idiocy I’ve been publicizing, and I guess I’m no better or worse than the next guy.
I started the year talking about snow, and we had more than our share to start with. That sucked. So did online games (difficult Windows8) and movie trailers for just about anything with a hint of action in it. I brought up the murderous activity of cyber bullying, dressing decently even if you’re going to Wal-Mart, jeans at work every day and trying to work with tech support.
In 2014 I got a new clock radio, a new television, a new cable box (thanks to Brutus the Cable Guy, who did what Cletus the Cable Guy did not do: replace the #@! box) and a new DVD player, so it appears that my entire electronic family died at about the same time, and none could live without the others. I also got a battery-operated clock because the new-fangled cable boxes apparently don’t have clocks.
And yes, I did manage to write a bit. A group for which I read actually liked a quick chapter intro I rolled off in record time one afternoon simply because I wanted to get it written down and I had twenty minutes to spare. Since then I have expanded it and hope to have a full chapter completed soon.
A friend gave me a needle felting kit for Christmas, so I can devote time to my felting in 2015 as well as my crocheting.
2014 introduced my mother and me to the Chapman Stick (a musical instrument). We also spent over 80 hours without any television when it went on the fritz. The dry sink in the kitchen hit me in the eye, and I injured my shoulder somehow and was in pain for nearly two weeks: fortunately the doctor says it’s just a mishap related to a type of bone spur and it shouldn’t happen again.
Here’s hoping that 2015 does not start out like it did last year, because I don’t want to have to write about snow again any time soon.
