> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Poysyn \* > \*\*DRY: This year has been really, really weird. I got a full time job and now I am engaged so those are two wonderful things. But then also this year my step0father dies, my mom had to have a hysterectomy and my aunt has a brain tumor. It’s really been up and down. > > BUT WHAT AN “UP”! > \*\* Good point. I guess it hasn’t been so much a great year, as an _eventful_ year. But at least it seems to be ending on a positive note. A VERY positive note! Congratulations again! ---
