2013 started off with a bang and spiraled down to a slide of shit. It was not all bad of course as all things do 2013 had a alight side the balance out the dark. All we can do be thankful for the good and try to learn from the bad.
My lady and I made a lot of new friends. She got her first real graphic design job only weeks after finishing up her bachelor's degree. And with that new job came a lot of new friends. Friends I really hope stick around for a while.
Despite the increased income from her new job we have also hit a lot of financial hick-ups. The last couple of month in fact it has been a struggle to pay rent and put food on the table. To make things worse we have been alternating who's car is in the shop. For the last six month we've been sharing on car or the other. As soon as we fox one something goes wrong with the other.
The biggest loss by far is the death of my mothe-in-law. There was no real love lost between her and I but I did care for her. I'm sure I've bitched about her more than a few times in this blog but as much as she drove me crazy, she was a good woman. That and she paid a third of the rent. So looks like we will be moving in the next few months and there is nothing I hate more than moving.
New Year's Eve was spent with new friend and setting shit on fire. The was quite cathartic in a way. And it was a hell of a lot of fun. We payed for it later however. You see we wren the oldest people at that party. And five or ten years ago we would have had no problem standing outside in the cold all night while getting minor smoke inhalation from standing to close to the fire to try and stay warm. Even thou I didn't have a thing to drink I still felt like shit after standing out in the freezing cold for four hours. But still it really was a good time.
Happy New Year everyone.
