Last one of these both for December and gasp THE YEAR 2015!?!? Yes friends in just a few days we will say good bye to this year. It has not been the best on record. It was long harsh, and somewhat sad about half the time. I will be glad to say good bye and hope next year is better than this!
1. My birthday was on the 20th and I turned 36. I realized oddly enough that every year I turn an age the same year to follow is that number. Weird huh? This is true for every year even back when I turned 1 in 1980 because few days later was 1981. Stop laughing I have to find humor about being this age and where I am and not in life. If I had just one of my bigger goals on its way or accomplished maybe it wouldn't hurt so much. But single, zero kids, zero career and in school still with nowhere closer to my future career then the year before. I am hoping I am wrong and next year will be THE year for me. Boyfriend, job, moving out! Imaging the possibilities that could come makes me happy but still worried as planning and hoping isn't the same thing as happening. I don't want to be super hopeful that so much could happen that I will be disappointed if nothing does happen. Moving on. For my birthday my sister and mom surprised me with the one gift I didn't think would happen: going whale watching! Back in August I saw for just $40 a person you could go in Oceanside where we live. But my sister got this *Good* deal off groupon and took me to San Diego instead just me and her. First we began with my free breakfast at Dennys. But due to a bad car accident and the 5 freeway being closed we missed our boat by 5 minutes! I thought this was it. But we still stayed in the area right there for 3 hours we waited on their wait list in hopes we might still get to go on there. Killed time sitting on the other side of the harbor area by a pool listening to kids play. Hoping this was not for nothing. We checked back a bit early and found nothing yet. Was losing hope but went to the car for our coupon incase and the guy working there had been looking for us. We got on the second boat! Sure it was freaking cold, we got late doing dinner with parents later on, and only saw 3 whales but we still had fun. The boat ride was so choppy the waves so big you could fall over if you not careful. But we had so much fun still. Sure the last hour felt like forever and just wanted to be on land. We hadn't seen any whales (the morning boat only saw 2 so there you go). I wanted to see Dolphins too maybe next time. We will have to go again it was so fun. Met with my parents at Red Robin for dinner. Then went home and that was that.
2. Work this week due to me getting my birthday off I only worked on Monday and Saturday. Both small 4 hour shifts. Next week I work more than less the following. How it goes. I got off late on Monday was just glad I still made my sprinter and got back to the area in time. Was a bit nervous there. New job in the new year yes please!
3. This month marks 20 years since my horrible snow fall in the mountains. I was 15 going on 16 and bounced down a steep very steep snow hill while riding a saucer. My sister made it look fun she had used the sled and smiled at me "its fun Holly come on!" Sure I thought it was fun for 2 seconds. That was how long it took to knock myself out. I bounced on my head several times, my boots flew off, my dang stupid saucer flew towards a frozen river but didn't go over, my ear muffs came off, my hair a mess and my gloves came off but stayed attached due to the Velcro. When I woke up at the bottom I sat up I heard people around me gasp. They probably thought I was dead or paralyzed. I can only imagine the guardian angel(s) I have putting their hand on each time I bounced so I did not die or get really badly hurt. I did fracture my ribs it hurt something horrible. We bought a wrap for me and I wore it for a few weeks after till they okay. But it could have been SO much worse. Sure it scared me off the rest of the trip from even small snow hills. I joked mom should have videoed it but they had seen it happen and been in such shock they thought I died too they couldn't pull it out fast enough.
4. Christmas came and went. Managed to do our church for Christmas Eve. That was nice. Going to church was nice too. We need to put fourth a better effort to go in 2016 a goal I will not write down but we agree on. Christmas did not feel like it was Christmas. We didn't get our tree till few days before. It just felt odd. I cant explain it. Plus we still miss our grandma it has not been the same since we lost her almost 10 years ago. 10 years ago was our last Christmas with her. I miss her still so much! Top off with no Maggie and my cousins cat is going to die in the next month or so. So she did not come over because I think she is broke (no shock) and just married and all that. So we didn't see her at all. Felt so weird.
5. Rainbow got her 6 month check up on Tuesday. So far no test results came back bad so that is good. They checked her blood and her poop. Ew. Still has heart murmur and now her two front knees pop out which is bad she could break her legs easier I am guessing on that one because she jumps down sometimes fast from places like the bed and the couch. Her lungs are clear and her temperature a little high but not bad high. Her weight just under 12 pounds is good I was worried she losing weight. I was just glad I didn't have to pay for anything I am beyond out of extra money so I would have to use my emergency credit card if she needs it. I love her so much!! Life is short I hug her every day you just never know.
Well our weather has been on the rampage. While the middle and east coast got warmer temps we got frozen cold weather. Colder here then there. And bad storms too. We have rain nearly once a week. Just a sign of things to come when it gets worse in January with El Nino already beginning her big show! We need the rain no complaints but prefer it when I am home and not out in it. Have a great New Years Eve & Day everyone!! See you all in 2016. Happy new years. Have a good one. :)
