Bittersweet.
The year began in the shadow of my love's cancer returning - gone now, may it be for good. Then the scare of my Mom's quad bypass. She's doing well. But in the end it was my best friend who died, mid-December. I didn't really see it coming.
Grateful to be here, and that there wasn't more death, but along with turning 36 there is a feeling that nothing will ever be easy again; it just gets harder from here on out. Youth was indeed wasted.

Ironic.
This year has been awesomely, downright ironic.

way too many losses, family and friends and families of friends. I believe the last (I hope) count was ten.

Watermelon.
I don't mind watermelons, they don't exactly taste bad and I used to like them when I was younger, but for some reason I have come to find watermelons slightly unpleasant as I've grown older. I want something more exciting like an orange or a lemon, or something nice like a box of raspberries, but instead I've got this watermelon and it's the only thing to eat in the house.

Usual
That's usually not a good thing by the way.

I'm the opposite. This year for the first time ever I actually enjoyed the taste of a watermelon. Not all of them, but at least one of them. I also discovered that the big black seeds in watermelons are largely a thing of the past.
Trying
At the start, I had my toughest semester ever at college (2nd semester calculus, Classical Mechanics, 3rd semester computer programming). My grandmother passed away in the middle of said semester, forciong me to put school on the back burner to engage with my family in this tragic event. The bright spot of a summer session Ceramics class was promptly out-shown by the tumultuous adjustment of transferring to Chico State.
