And there's reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last.

Gods, I hope so. Too many deaths, too much political NONSENSE, too many examples of how horrible human beings can be to each other.

On the positive side, I married myself! That was wonderful and transformative in ways I have a hard time explaining. The kiddos are doing good in school and I'm in the process of getting myself fixed. Work has gone from stressful due to coworker to stressful due to payers, which can't be changed and frankly, easier to deal with. I also have a shiny new car with All The Toys. She's dark red and her name is Kyoko. She has Zoom-Zoom! *glee*

I'm also expanding my knowledge of gardening, heirloom seeds and permaculture with a long term goal of an Earthship and a small organic, permaculture farm. I don't have the cutthroat mindset one seems to need to be a small business owner, so I'm looking at land close to my office and buying books and my postage stamp back yard will be torn up for various vegetable plots. My goal is to grow enough ingredients for one meal, proof of concept. Once I know what grows productively; I can extrapolate what I might be able to sell. I know it takes YEARS to build a profitable farm from scratch and I am certainly at the scratch mark. But it's a worthwhile goal.

No, Zahde, it won't be raised beds, I don't want to spend the money on stone or wood to build them. Straight into the ground, this will be. Gotta save up for the GB trip.

Time for dinner. May you all have a safe night and may 2017 be better.

Blessed Be.
