Better than 2015. 2015 was the worst year of my entire life.

2016 was an okay year for me. Nothing major happened at work. Most of the first half was dominated by studying for the CHP exam, which I ended up passing. Some of the second half was just to recover from the first half. I did get a chance to travel to Alaska by myself. The first time I ever did a trip of that scope on my own. So I'm proud of that. So overall, kind of a "meh" year, just one more year ticked off in the march of years that is my life. Did you not post pictures? Omg, I was afraid you were referring to Bob Ross's poop!!

Good- We paid off our second mortgage. My daughter decided to get certified as a pharmacy tech. I have great family and friends. Everyday that I get to be independent and not have to depend on other people is great.
Bad- Being told I had cancer.
2017 I get to start off by losing my ribs and shoulder muscle. When I go through the first 6 months of scans with no evidence of cancer I maybe able to breathe. Hoping 2018 will be my year.

- The many challenges of a "spirited" 3yo When does your 3yo turn four? Something happened at 4, and even 4.5. Like a light switch flipped. Last summer was the first summer I really could enjoy my kids in a long time. I really did not think there would be much hope, but now there is.

2016 can bite me.
First part wasn't bad finished my BA, new job with a very slight increase, but that was offset by the cost of insurance. DD graduated with highest honors from HS and starts nursing school in January. DS had a decent first year in HS, and a great year playing JV football.
December has suck donkey balls. DS broke his foot, I needed new tires, then Christmas Eve, I fell and broke my wrist. So I guess it's just December that needs to go away. Besides the fact that the year has drained my savings.

2016 was a good year for us.
I refuse to get my knickers wadded up about things I can't control..I mean, I'm not thrilled about political crap at all levels of government, and it's going to be a giant shit storm no matter where I look. I'm actually more afraid of how much more my state is going to go in the crapper than what's happening at the presidential level.
I managed to meet some of the goals I set out for myself. Our financial ship has been righted a bit. I've got a plan for my career and mourned the loss of dreams.
I think 2017 is going to be a rough year for us. Lots of adjustments. If I get into grad school, that's going to be one more thing on top of everything else. Thankfully, I can take one course a semester. But, I think it must be done.
I think DH is going to have to step up in ways he isn't used to, and I think that's going to cause tension as we work through it.
DS is going to be a teenager. I'm not feeling good about that. I mean, it's time and all that. But, fuck, when did I get so old? And why the hell did I think it was good to have 8 years between my youngest and oldest kid?
I'm pretty certain there's a large chance that I'm going to lose one of my parents. Even though I've made peace with the whole situation, as it stands now, I'm still going to be a huge mess. It also means I have to figure out how to navigate a life with mentally ill parent for a while again. I couldn't deal with one kid and two jobs. I'm not in any better position to add this to my plate in addition to three kids, three jobs, and grad school.
Work is going to be hard, too. One department head is going, another one is taking over, short term (he's got 5ish years before retirement)..We've lost half our team now, and there's no money to hire folks back. Lots of reliance on student help (not saying it's bad...they are smart...but it's pretty shocking.) There's other key positions outside of my team that aren't being filled because we can't offer enough pay. One position in particular directly affects my job..as one of the positions is Marketing. If no on is marketing the products I put out, then our classes will not be full, and there won't be money for my salary.
So, the best I can do is just make sure my side of the road is clean and have positive coping mechanisms.

Ending with some good news: Distance vision is 20/30 without glasses. Yeah for me! I do have to see the ophthalmologist in June about my quirky optic nerve.
I will call tomorrow to get a refraction appointment with local eye doctor for new reading glasses. I am so happy that the eye appointments are finished.

Glad to hear there's a light at the end of the tunnel! I keep telling myself that all the things that make her so challenging to raise should serve her well in her adult life... I just hope I'm not institutionalized by then.

Not as bad as 2015 as I lost my mother that year. In 2016, I lost my favorite aunt. That set me back to day one of grieving the loss of my mother. The last time I saw my aunt, she was in hospice and sleeping. She looked just like my mother in the last two days of her life. Both wore glasses and I didn't realize just how much they looked alike. Spent 4 days in hospital after two bouts of illness. Hospital came after second bout. Hope I don't get that sick again for a long time. Paid another year off on the car! Started decluttering! That is a good thing. I have way too much stuff that means nothing to anybody but me. My Lucy cat still loves me. 2017 could be the year I lose my father. He turns 93 in January and at his age, he could go at any time. However, except for being hard of hearing, he has no ailments. The man takes no prescription drugs. He misses mom so much. He says he just wants to be with me so it wouldn't be all bad. It hurts to watch him in so much pain. I plan to watch my spending closer in 2017 and keep working on losing the rest of my CC debt. A chunk will go away when my tax refund comes.

2014 was the worst year of my life. 2015 had huge emotional upheavals and was a lot of dealing with the fallout from 2014. In 2016 I found some equilibrium and a bit of hope, so it truly wasn't a bad year for me. A fair amount of crappy stuff happened in the world at large, but none of it was deeply personal or really bothered me that much...I still had my remaining loved ones, my fur faces, my home and my job. I'm counting that as a victory.
I'm cautiously optimistic that 2017 will be an even better year.

This has been a weird year. In April my mother found that she had metastatic breast cancer and chose not to undergo aggressive treatment- she was 85. We had a wonderful family gathering for her 85th birthday (planned already) and DH and I drove to Myrtle Beach for a farewell visit in June. The day we returned, DH fell in the bathroom and needed vertebroplasty (which was minimally invasive and worked} but he was diagnosed with acute myeloid lymphoma in July. DH was 78 and not a candidate for aggressive therapy; the meds they did try didn't work.
Mom died at home with hospice care on October 4. I drove DH to Myrtle Beach for the funeral (20 hours each way 2 overnight stops) even though at that point he mostly used a wheel chair. It wore us both out but we were so glad to be together. DH died on November 15- also quietly at home. Our new granddaughter was born November 29- beautiful and healthy and I was free to go up and spend a week holding down the fort with her 2-year old sister, who's a ray of sunshine.
I wake up optimistic and I go to bed contented at the end of the day. I just get weepy when I'm reminded of what I lost. Finances are good, I'm on my way home from a Christmas road trip to the Carolinas (put over 2,000 miles on the car, stayed in 6 cities) and really enjoyed being with family, I'm looking forward to returning to the wonderful house DH and I chose together and getting back to my life at home.
In January I start in a grief support group but I'm not sure I belong there. I lost two wonderful people at the end of long, happy lives, with time to say goodbye. So many others have lost loved ones suddenly or at tragically young ages, or are struggling with financial issues because of a loved one's death. In April I go to Central America- after paying a crapload of taxes on 2016's capital gains. I'm building a new life- I have to and there are many good things in it. When look back at it, I've been doing caregiving for DH for years as his health deteriorated- worrying about him falling, making sure his prescriptions didn't run out, looking for his hearing aids every time he lost them, doing more and more of the driving and errands and eventually 100%, even little things like picking things up off the floor because if DH did he'd lose his balance. It's a relief to be worrying only about myself. I've found this road trip really pleasant except for the occasional traffic jam.

I'd at least attend a couple of meetings to get the feel of the group before deciding not to go. Nothing gained by not going and nothing lost if you decide if it's not a good fit.

let's see.... This year I put all my eggs into the engineering basket, and that did not work out at all the way I planned. I am currently considering 2-3 other options on a part-time basis only. Please save the "you can't give up/you can do this" type of responses - the sentiment is appreciated but I really really don't want to hear/read it. It's bad enough as it is. Also, work won't let me come back full time, so I need to find a full time job and a way to make ends meet in the meantime. Thank God for savings... I got my feelings hurt some more in the dating arena and put myself on a dating hiatus as of September. NCG has been a great friend in the meantime. DS started kindergarten and is having all sorts of problems in school. Academically he is ahead for his peer group, but he can't sit still to save his life. He is a sore loser (we have been working with him on that for a long time now) and he gets overwhelmed by having larger classes/less teachers. We're trying to get him a referral for a child therapist. For 2017, I'm definitely taking the 2nd part of precalculus in spring because any of the options I'm considering will need it, and that's it for now. The rest of my time will be spent working and trying to pay down/off debt. I feel like I learned a lot about myself this year. It sucked - a lot - but I'm ready to move forward. I'm cautiously optimistic about 2017.

When does your 3yo turn four? Something happened at 4, and even 4.5. Like a light switch flipped. Last summer was the first summer I really could enjoy my kids in a long time. I really did not think there would be much hope, but now there is. Not soon enough... she has only been 3 for 5 weeks. Glad to hear there's a light at the end of the tunnel! I keep telling myself that all the things that make her so challenging to raise should serve her well in her adult life... I just hope I'm not institutionalized by then. DD was a horrible toddler. She is now 9 and pretty fun. She's got her moments and still tends towards being wound waaaaaaaaaay too tight.

Pretty good overall even though the beginning of the year didn't start off that way.
We had our usual real estate challenges including tenants moving out much earlier than planned. This meant disrupting my schedule and I was away from home turning three properties over nearly 8 consecutive weeks. I had never been away for home on business for that long before. We did sell one property and therefore that's one out of town rental we no longer have to worry about.
Despite the disruption to my schedule I was able to train well enough to successfully complete the John Muir Trail. That was an amazing experience doing a solo 230 mile through hike. An added bonus was losing about 40 lbs over the 14 months leading up and through it. For the first time in years I feel "normal".
DH and I are in good health. MIL is as crazy and demanding as ever but at least she lives 600 miles away and we don't have to deal with her drama on a daily basis. My dad and his girlfriend both turned 80 this year and while they are clearly aging they seem happy and still are managing to do ok on their own.
We've started the planning process of a remodel of our down stairs area. As part of that process we are going through a huge decluttering project. While it's kind of painful, it's also a huge relief to rid ourselves of all this cr*p we've been hauling around and storing all these years.
Best wishes to everyone for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2017!

2016 has been a great year for me.
2015 was my first year as a single mom on my own so that was more of a learning year. can't say it was bad, just that I had a lot of anxiety over being the only breadwinner.
2016 is the year I found the new me. I have really started to take my real estate investing seriously and it has given me new found confidence in myself and in my future. My fears over losing my job are gone. I have drafted business goals for 2017 and am excited to work on them. While I hate my job it does bring me the income I need to grow my real estate business so for now I am sucking it up.
2016 is also the year that I fell in love again....I swore off men after my divorce (separated in 2014 and divorce finalized in 2015). I never thought I would let my walls down but here I am, putting my heart at risk again...no worries, I will never put my money at risk, though
The downfall is that I have gained quite a bit of weight so I need to focus on that in 2017. I'm at the age where weight starts to impact health

This year was really just okay. Should have been awesome because we bought our first house, but that was really the only awesome thing that happened. Well, aside from my job being great. Hubs is miserable at work and is only succeeding at making me miserable, and I had to greatly reduce running because of my hip. Running makes me happy, so I'm miserable too. Haha. So, just an okay year. We have a house, I have a great job, we have awesome friends, hubs just needs to work on his shit. 2017 will hopefully be better!

When look back at it, I've been doing caregiving for DH for years as his health deteriorated- worrying about him falling, making sure his prescriptions didn't run out, looking for his hearing aids every time he lost them, doing more and more of the driving and errands and eventually 100%, even little things like picking things up off the floor because if DH did he'd lose his balance. It's a relief to be worrying only about myself. I've found this road trip really pleasant except for the occasional traffic jam. I have a friend with MS. Her doctor told her that, for her, steering clear of the support groups might be a better idea. She is a very optimistic sort of person, and he thought a group might just bring her down. She's doing amazingly well also. Still working, walking, driving fairly normally, just a little jerky/shakey at times. Her doctor told her that she should be in a wheelchair by now. Anyway, all that to say optimism is good, and if the group seems to bring you down, don't hesitate to bow out.

let's see.... This year I put all my eggs into the engineering basket, and that did not work out at all the way I planned. I am currently considering 2-3 other options on a part-time basis only. Please save the "you can't give up/you can do this" type of responses - the sentiment is appreciated but I really really don't want to hear/read it. It's bad enough as it is. Also, work won't let me come back full time, so I need to find a full time job and a way to make ends meet in the meantime. Thank God for savings... I got my feelings hurt some more in the dating arena and put myself on a dating hiatus as of September. NCG has been a great friend in the meantime. DS started kindergarten and is having all sorts of problems in school. Academically he is ahead for his peer group, but he can't sit still to save his life. He is a sore loser (we have been working with him on that for a long time now) and he gets overwhelmed by having larger classes/less teachers. We're trying to get him a referral for a child therapist. For 2017, I'm definitely taking the 2nd part of precalculus in spring because any of the options I'm considering will need it, and that's it for now. The rest of my time will be spent working and trying to pay down/off debt. I feel like I learned a lot about myself this year. It sucked - a lot - but I'm ready to move forward. I'm cautiously optimistic about 2017. Are you giving up no Engineering or just going to school part-time? I already touched on that.

Are you giving up no Engineering or just going to school part-time? I already touched on that. I must have missed it. Or I have reading comprehension issues. I can't tell if you are no longer going for engineering or just going part-time.
No biggie if you don't want to answer.
