So, how has 2011 treated you? Was it a good year or a bad year for you?
2011 had it's ups and downs for me and my family. The beginning of the year saw us drawing money out of our son's college fund to keep the mortgage paid, and my son admitting that he wasn't ready for college yet. Early Spring I mentioned to a friend who was complaining about being overworked in her business that my husband, who works in the same field, was unemployed still. My admitting this led to her hiring him to do some contract work for her, which in turn led to us catching up on bills, being separated for almost four months, and re-uiniting to take a vacation in Washington D.C. in early September. A couple weeks after that, my husband started temping for what is now his full-time job, thanks to our friend.
Health wise it was a fairly even year. No major illnesses, but not great improvements on the weight. Blood pressure is up, but blood sugar remains fairly stable. Weight is up, but remaining stable about 285, although stamina is once again waning since I have not hit the gym since October.
So, that's the old year in a couple of paragraphs.
