tarotgalI went to the gas station I hate today just so that I could get my car washed there. I was nervous about the car wash, because there was a coating on my car and I'm not supposed to do car washes, but my friend said she had the same thing and went through car washes all the time without damage and my car really needs it. Anyway, I must have been so nervous that I left my credit card at the gas pump. I realized it as soon as I got home and then raced back to the station. I checked in the shop and no one had turned it in. I checked around the pump and around the car wash. Nada. Then a guy came over and asked me my name. He'd been at the pump just behind me and had been calling the credit card company to see if they could get in touch with me (they couldn't) and he hung around to see if I came back. IT WAS A FESTIVUS MIRACLE!
But, seriously, cut it out, 2016. I can't take any more of this. I truly can't. I've had enough panic and stress and horrible life events this year.
Granted, there were some good moments as well. I got to jump in a moon bounce for the first time. I went to Con.TXT. I wrote a few stories I'm proud of. I became obsessed with Hamilton. I went to my first pride parade. A new cat came into my life. I didn't die. I ate some good sushi. I got to meet Jackson Bird and Andrew Slash (FANGIRL SQUEEING). Fantastic Beasts was released.Giant Pandas are no longer endangered. But that's honestly about it.
And it doesn't balance out having my Cassie baby girl die. Appendicitis & surgery. My computer almost dying and now I'm without it for 2 weeks (and counting). Horrible changes at work. Lots of tension at home from two cats who can't get along. The US electing a power-hungry, racist, homophobe as president (or would he say "precident" perhaps?). Parents' dog being diagnosed with a different kind of cancer and parents cats all about to die. Getting rear ended. Being in debt. The Cursed Child letdown. Pulse nightclub shooting. Harambe. Police shootings. Charleston Church massacre. Aleppo. Losing Alan Rickman, David Bowie, Gene WIlder, and so many others. I'm not saying 2016 was the worst year ever... but I would like it to just stop being horrible now please. Please.
I'm going to continue rewatching Sense8 and enjoy the new Christmas special (can't wait!!!!!!!!) and try to avoid any other horribelness for a while.
