Roundup

This is the time of year when people sit back and reflect upon the year that has passed, and bid it a fond farewell, or flip it the bird, as seems to be the case with several other bloggers out there.

For the family, and me in particular, it has been a year of changes. The main changes of this year were focused into the brief two week period when our son was born, work shortened my hours and cut my pay, and Puff's father died.  All of these changes have brought repercussions we will be carrying into the new year. 

My sister is still depressed, and getting worse, and we are trying to convince her to go with us to the mental health centre.  Apparently, I am not allowed to drag her in there kicking and screaming.

I wish you all a happy new year.  This boring blog should still be around to greet you in the coming months.
