update #2

surprise, surprise, i have not been keeping up as i should. i don't even know what i have been doing for the last 3 (ahem, 4) months.

i know i have been sad a lot and completely unmotivated to do anything. which sucks. but i should focus on what i have been able to accomplish.

i voted. woot. sadly, i don't think many of my candidates ended up winning.

without even really focusing on it, i have been able to do karaoke monthly. twice at highland and once (maybe twice) at abigails.

i kind of fell into a monthly wine tasting with one of my regulars. i've made it to 2 out of the 4 so far. the first being bubbly and the second being cabernet sauvignons from around the world. the next one up is syrahs, so i will keep that on my radar.

i was able to make it home to colorado and arizona for christmas, thanks to the boat engineer's mom buying our plane tickets. it was stressful seeing family and things were kind of crazy, but i guess that's to be expected. on a more positive note, i refrained from drinking starbucks while i was away, so yay! also went ice skating with my nephew (despite it being a disaster). checked out a pretty awesome restaurant with my aunt and unlce, called argyle. it has an amazing whiskey list and the food was delicious. i got a pedicure and manicure with my aunt while in colorado, but it's definitely time for another.

boat engineer took my car in to get fixed and the oil changed, etc. but now it's been a few weeks since i have driven it, so i'm sure that's not good for it. and now we have like a million feet of snow, so i doubt i'll be driving it in the near future. ugh.

the diner holiday party happened, but before that my yang and i went to barcelona wine bar, their new spot in the south end. had some delicious cheese and wine.

the work log definitely faltered at the end of the year, but i've been pretty good about keeping up with it in the new year.

i reapplied for healthcare. woo hoo. that kind of feels like the biggest win of all so far.....

-tickets to florida
