Back from the east coast with a snuffly nose and dry skin from too much handwashing and sanitizer. I'm also a little sad because I miss the boy's family, but we had a wonderful visit.

This is probably my last entry for 2005...this is an odd year that feels longer than it really is. So much stuff happened - you can't have the amazing without the heartbreaking, of course - but I can't even name five most important moments off the top of my head. Perhaps that's something to document in my handwritten journals instead, so I don't forget when I try to reminisce.

I'm not too eager about 2006 being so close, but I will say my usual "Whatever happens, happens."

Also, despite my never-ending paranoia about jinxing things like this, I would like to admit that, regardless of any hardships going on left and right - I am the happiest I've been since I was a wee one. I think so, anyway, and while it might seem pish-poshy to you, it's a giantic leap; an incredible thing for someone like me to admit.

Thanks to all of you in my life that have helped me grow in these learning experiences. You know who you are.
