It's only a couple minutes til
midnight, and'll probably be past that by the time I finish.
This is shaping up to be quite a
happy new year indeed. Just half an hour ago, my parents'
refrigerator died. This is the latest in a series of problems we've had lately; others include a water pipe leaking under the foundation, unnecessarily buying a new
water heater due to believing the old one was causing the water problems, my brother's car breaking down, and so on.
I could make a lot of resolutions that I might not keep. I do intent to try to lose weight this year. Also to read more, and to write more, and to at least
try to get something published. And hopefully, I finish my
bachelor's degree this year.
One resolution I know I can keep: I resolve not to marry out of the fear of being alone, and if I do somehow find myself attached to someone who makes me miserable, I will not "
stay together for the kids" - it does them more harm than good anyway.
This may seem like a strange thing to resolve. Unless, of course, your parents are as
dysfunctional a couple as mine are.
