Well it has been a year, hasn’t it my friends?

I have decided instead of listing all the shit that has befallen us this year, and man… it has been a spectacular defecation from on high I must say… hell, how about I list all the GOOD THINGS and if you would like a recap of the 2018 bloopers you can scroll back through my blog. I recorded the highlights there. Well a few anyway.

So, onwards!

Believe it or not there were some AWESOME things that blew my damn mind this year:

Like when my friends from the internet did kind and truly amazing things for me. When MPS was in hospital and friends drove me around and others offered to pay for an uber to get us home when I was losing my damn shit having to drive in the city and still others were sending me flowers and cards.

Then when my spa died a heap of amazing people raised money to buy me another one. I literally think about that every single day, I am so very humbled and grateful to each and every person that was part of doing that for me, it really means a lot as the spa is a huge therapy tool for me.

In April we finally paid off our car. The car we bought brand new when we gave up smoking. It is fucking INSANE that we would have spent well over 40,000 on cigarettes (they have almost doubled in price since we gave up!) in the time it took us to pay it off, and our repayments were what we were spending. Insanity.

Boo got a really good NDIS plan. HUZZAH!

We have had a cleaner once a week and a gardener once a fortnight. It has made a HUGE difference in my stress levels and pain. I have been able to get other things done and not having to worry about the day to day stuff. DOUBLE HUZZAH!

Caramilk and KitKat Gold. No explanation required. Duh.

We have seen more of Maddie and Taylor this year and it has been wonderful. I love those Damn Emos.

In August I started on the clinical trial of the transabdominal gastric stimulator and fuck me swinging it has been so awesome I could cry. And sometimes I do.

Especially when Boo gets in the kitchen and cooks chocolate chip muffins all by himself. Just gotta make sure we get one before he scoffs them all 🙂

And finally, the icing on the cake of the year, is Audrey. Man, that girl has stolen my heart – and every one elses. She is magnificent and she has barely left my side since the day she was carried in the door.

So there you go, 2018 you damn near killed us (in a literal sense) but you had some mighty fine highlights.

What were your highlights? Do tell.
