End of year schtuff:

It’s been a year! I have completed the breeding period of my life. Woo. I will never again have to experience labor. Thank God. For all that I looked forward to having children and labor as this transformative journey instead I just feel traumatized. Story of my freakin’ life. But! At the end of the difficult breeding road I have two daughters who amaze me and delight me every single day. Even on the days they drive me batshit. 🙂 I made some friends this year and that was really awesome. I haven’t made new friends in a number of years. Yay. Taking Shanna to Disneyland was beautiful and wonderful. Doing it with Sarah was better. 🙂 Noah has, as usual, done a lot to make my life great. But in those long-term sustainable ways like being supportive and kind and understanding. I’m very lucky.

Where have I slept:
Fremont, CA
San Simeon, CA (or was it Cambria?)
Anaheim, CA
Flagstaff, AZ
Sedona, AZ
at a random truckstop on the way to Flagstaff, there wasn’t a town
