so everyone sends these and since I don't want to clutter mailboxes or frankly people's heads...I figured put one on your blog (reading is optional).
So...without further adieu....
Dear friends and family that probably don't care what I've been doing this year and if they do care probably already know about it,
Let me start this letter by saying this is not a "knock" on you. I actually like the letters you've sent...especially if they are funny. I love reading all the little shit that I didn't know about and I do actually care even if I'm mocking you a little. I still love you so please still love me...please.
Okay and so it goes...
I started the year off in Shitney...er I mean Sidney, Montana (what a shit hole), with my parents (of the dad and other mom persuasion). We did a whole lot of nothing and ate a whole lot of junk. Later in January I got my angry drink on...Jan 10th to be exact and was hung over for 3 days. This was the worst decision I have ever made - probably. I was still not feeling great on my birthday Jan 13th. For my birthday I did a whole lot of more nothing. I went to a friends house and she made me tacos - yippie skippy eh?
By February I was starting to not feel very well. It turned out that I would around Valentine's Day start to feel really shitty. Shitty enough that I would be missing work and going to a lot of doctors who don't know their ass with both hands. Yay for the wallet! Not so much...
By March I was sicker than sick. I would then spend March, April, and most of May in bed (yep lucky I work for mom and she kept me on payroll even though I wasn't able to work). I would spend those months feeling like shit, crying about feeling like shit, lonely as hell because my friends didn't want to come see me (not sure what that was about), and spending around $10,000 (that I'm going to be paying off until I'm 100) in doctor's/hospital bills. I got over my fear of needles in those months after about 3 or 4 IV's, one test where they knock you out and shove a tube down your throat, and countless blood tests. Guess what is wrong with me! They DON'T have a clue. So I would sometime in May go to the Naturopath and he would give me some weird pills and whala - I'm back to work even though still a little sick. Also at some point in there my girl Mmmk would graduate from Nursing School (I missed it of course with all the being sick and stuff) and move back to B-town...Congrats MmmK.
Sometime in there I found Martha on facebook and was able to reconnect with her and find out what really happened with my mama Kate. Couldn't have been better timing. I would spend the end of May pissed and disheartened but somehow feeling like things were going to get better. Thanks for that M...
I would spend June pissed off about how I was sick and they still don't know...and also still going to appointments and spending money I don't have. No - I don't have insurance - it's too expensive. I would also be angry that while I was feeling better I still felt shitty too often AND on top of it I would not be starting school in the fall because I had not (and still have not) taken the GRE (it's the exam to get into Grad school).
July and August would be pretty boring. Did nothing on the 4th - friends too busy. August was Kelly Clarkson and MmmK's b-days. Probably some drama in there some place. I think mom and Reid broke up soemwhere in there, but I can't remember...but it's all good...some people just should be together. Don't settle for miserable mom just because it's with someone - you can be miserable with someone or happy alone. Settle for happy always...Don't settle for just gettin' by :)
September I can't remember although I think there was some shit that happened. October is basically the same thing but I think my Kell H was here that month or maybe it was September - shit I can't remember.
Novemeber - KG and DB are first gay couple to adopt in Montana at the same time the Supreme Court here held up the parent child relationship with 2 different sets of gay couples. Yep - I was riding high. The Supremes said that yes both mom's on both cases had rights. High five to our friends!
December has been nothing but come to work and be exhausted. Lots of drama goes on in a divorce lawyers office around this time of year. People pissing and moaning about their kids and what not. Went out more this month than usual though so that was a plus. My oldest Neice graduated from High School a semester early. Congrats baby girl...Christmas is just around the corner and my plans this year are the same as usual...be boring and chill - YAY! As for New Years...well I'll hopefully be in Shitney boring myself to death but being with the fam dam....
Then it's January and the fresh start to a new year...

Love always,
J
