2013 is not going to have to work too hard to be better than 2012. 2012 was a year full of death, surgeries, stress, and tears. I still have trouble believing all the shit that was packed into one year. Enough shit that a manure spreader could have distributed it over at least 3 to 4 years. The one positive I can share is that I kept my New Year's resolution for 2012! I am starting 2013 at 25 pounds lighter than I was last year. Yeah for me! However, even that has to be credited to the shitstorm of 2012. Here were the shitty highlights for 2012 (these are pretty much in a chronological order, not a degree of shittiness level):
2012's Top Shit Moments
- Knee surgery in February
- Friend's husband dies at 43 years of age
- Gallbladder symptoms and surgery to remove it
- Diagnosis of benign (but still needed to be removed) tumors on liver
- 55% of liver removed (not recommended, but very effective weight loss program)
- Two post-surgical drains being placed due to fluid collection in abdomen (I still have one)
- A friend's grandmother died
- Three neighbors from my childhood passed away
- Watching my best friend start her life over again with two children due to moment #2
So, 2013, I have really low standards for you (according to the Mayans, we weren't supposed to be here anyway). All I'm asking for is that I stay out of the hospital, out of the funeral homes, and another 25 pound weight loss.
Sounds like a year of hardships and heartaches. Hopefully the rota fortunae will take a turn for the better this year.
