It was a real rollercoaster of a year with my dad's health issues but I'm hopeful that things will settle down in the new year.
The first full year at my new job was full of challenges, but after 18 years in my little corner of the industry it was nice to feel like I was learning again.
And after a series of spectacularly bad dates in the spring I improbably met a total unicorn of a fine-ass, fiscally responsible, emotionally available adult man who adores me almost uncomfortably much and who became the first significant other I was truly proud to introduce to my friends and family (who all adore him too). We are talking about buying a house together? Eeek. I learned some long overdue lessons about communication and being vulnerable and it's been real good.

We are talking about buying a house together? Hey there I know I'm probably obviously a cynic when it comes to this stuff but my advice from experience is that you not do that. |

Totally valid concern but this would be within the context of *when* we move in which I don't intend to do for a while and he'd have to sell his current house first anyway so no worries. I like the conversation tho!

maybe instead of buying a house, you and your sig. other should buy a two or three flat that you can rent out. that way you can become alandlady.

mehhhh. my year was also very up and down. summer was pure bliss with all the traveling and shows but i feel like both the start and end of the year were pretty miserable shitshows for a myriad of work and family reasons.
nice to see and hang out with everyone this year but i feel like it was significant less than previous years and i should probably fix that soon before i become a total hermit?

- quit smoking - lost 25 lbs Accomplishing these two things in the same year is an amazing feat. So the key here was 2 years ago I switched to vaping. It's douchey, I know. But I was able to control the nicotine level. So every 6 months I'd drop it till the last few months of 2017 I was at 0%. Few weeks later I wasn't even carrying the vapor pen. Can't stand the smell of cigarettes now and the thought of smoking one makes me wanna wretch. |

I really need to quit cigs. I'm down to around a pack a week but it's still definitely hindering me. That'll be a Yay 2019 post.

The slow phase out definitely worked for me when I quit about 20 years ago. I started a new job and decided to not smoke at work. Then I bought a new home and decided I wouldn't smoke in the house. When my Civic died, I decided I wouldn't smoke in the new car. After that it was pretty much smoke on the deck or when out at the bar. I never told my parents I smoked (though they must have been able to smell it on me) so when my grandmother died, I finished the pack I was on since I knew I was going to be around family for a few days in a row. Never bought another pack or even bummed another smoke from a friend. Now I get annoyed when someone is smoking while they're walking on the sidewalk in front of me.
