Goodbye 2015

As I have not sat down properly to write on my blog, I thought a farewell to this year would be quite fitting.

Looking back over this whole year so much good, weird, bad, and crazy things have happened. I think we can all say that, right?

So here is my break down of twenty-fifteen (2k15 or (2015):

January- March: Working at the school during the day and working the bar at night. This winter has been brutal. We haven't seen temperatures above 20f in weeks and schools are closed because of frozen pipes. Oh, and don't forget the fifteen inches of snow we got. Blizzard warning number Idgaf. Driving to work 14 miles on back country roads not only is dangerous, but now I am also late. Crap. Still too cold to be outside longer than ten minutes. No, the snow's not melting, it is just freezing into a sheet of you're never getting out of here alive.

April & May: Oh is it spring yet? Why is there still snow on the ground? I thought we should have warmer weather by now. Nope, idiot, you live in Ohio. That groundhog can see its shadow all day you s.o.b. doesn't mean anything weather wise. Stupid humans think this animal is predicting weather. Woah, there moron. Now it is too hot. Cool. Too cold or too hot.... shut up just enjoy being alive.

May-August: Hey there, school has released for summer but now you will still be working your second job so no break for me. Great, love this job. I smell like grease and chicken which I'm drenched in because all of you can't make chicken at home. Woah there, I love my job but come on you like dissing your job too so ha. It is cool though, I still have time during the week to get stuff done and go places.

We took ourselves to the zoo and kings island. 2015.... I just lost my roller coaster "I will never ever ride that ride" virginity is gone. I now love the vortex, yes please, can we ride it again? I will not get on The Beast again because that first drop, hell if you see my photo you would agree it would be best if I didn't ride it again. hahaha that photo is worth millions if I posted it online. Oh wait, Greg would kill me because he looks scared af too.

July: Well, no real spring and now summer is gone. How is your summer going? Well it has rained once so far.... for two weeks straight. River is past its crest and most of the kids that swim at the local city pool are now swimming in the ponds in their back yards. Weather ---> hahaha you thought you would get to enjoy summer... think again. But at least you got your ring... engaged... check.

August: Had to work all summer which hey it pays the bills. School starts back. Hey everyone! Wait, didn't we just leave for summer? Where did it go? What did I do? Am I in another dimension?

September: My aunt turned 72 and is still in the nursing home. Looks like she won't be coming home. She is even on dialysis. I'm scared. I'm sad. I want her to be home and healthy.

October: Wow more people are subscribing to my YouTube channel: youtube.com/lindaann08
Everyone is worried about halloween this year. I don't celebrate that holiday nor any other holidays. Awesome announcement that my god-daughter is now one (1) and is walking like a pro. She is growing up way too fast.

November: Well this is our second "indian summer" we will pay for this in December. Still in the 60-70 degrees f. Thanksgiving comes and goes. No turkey for this vegetarian. Missed out on some family from his side but I had a nice evening at the nursing home.

December: Hey Ohio, its me weather, I decided to let you keep your 70 degree weather. No snow for you just yet. White christmas hahaha jokes on you. Go buy your own snow. Oh guess what, you just got the worst news ever. Her cancer came back and this time chemo isn't working. She is looking forward to next year. Can't cry. Must be strong for her and for myself.

Last Day of December: Cold and a bit of freezing rain. I feel sad. I feel like I didn't live this year. That I said no to too many things and yes to the wrong things. I feel grateful for my family and friends. I love them so much. Grateful to be alive and healthy and not in hospital. Looking forward to what 2016 has in store for my story. Here is where the book ends on this chapter of my life.

Hello to 2016 as we all start our new 365 page book.
