Bring on 2010

2009 was a truly nasty year, and I am thrilled to see it end.  Why?  Like the poet, 'let me count the ways":

Mom spent three months in hospital and rehab.

She's lost some ground mentally and physically.

I had many teeth extracted; broke a toe; hit my head against the upstairs wall; slipped on the ice, and messed up a tendon in my left arm; and got 'a flu like virus'.  All this, while taking care of the aged parent.

a close, and young relative had a substance abuse problem, which caused much heartbreak.

On the other hand, I have vowed to lose weight and write more, but I must get to the bank and supermarket, or there will be no tasty salmon in yogurt sauce tonight.
