| Reflection (2009) |
[Jan. 4th, 2010|03:03 pm] |
2009 was a good year, a year of healing and completion. Feb was a big month, as I went to ceremonies in Bad River and was finally able to put my grief to rest. I (finally) graduated from Algoma with my BA in English, spent 5 months with Gabe over the Spring/Summer, and moved to Tbay for the fall where I learned a LOT about me, what I'm capable of and what I'm not. Also in the fall discovered teaching is not for me, at least not now, possibly not ever, but definitely not in public education. Pulled out of Lakehead and scrambled to get in at Algoma (where I am now writing this). Gabe turned 3 in September. Ry and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary MUCH more nicely than the first. I have no idea what's in store for me in 2010 but I'm looking forward to working on my CESD certificate and getting a job this summer. Maybe I'll get lucky and be in the library again. ^__^ The only resolutions I made were to stay in touch and visit with my extended family more and allow myself to be more impulsive. Ryan is looking forward to that last one. ;) |

Just got back in from visiting my Grandma P and my mom's side of the family. It was pretty awesome to see how things've changed, and how some things haven't. Gabe is probably already unconsious in bed, seeing as how it's 2 hours past bedtime and I'm feeling worn as well. My cousin Alyssa looks the same as she did when she was 7 now as 17 but my cousin Kevin, her younger bro, is all grown up now and VERY tall, taller than me finally. Connor looks the same, just taller. My grandma, at 92, doesn't look a day over 60. I'm really tempted to call it an early night and just head to bed but there's still a couple of little things to do before I hit the pillow, namely fill Gabe's stocking and pounce Ryan. We didn't get Gabe anything for Christmas, or each other anything, because we couldn't afford it. I baked my parent's a pie for the dinner on Sunday, and Ry's parents a pie for tomorrow's lunch, and Ry bought Leslie a couple of shirts and his dad a belt. We didn't buy Wendy and Jesse or Arja anything, or anything for Aiden, Tim and Melissa. I feel bad about it but really, if I can't pay the rent, we shouldn't be buying gifts. Next year I think I'll just bake everyone an individual wack-ton of cookies. |
