I hope...

I don't generally do a new year journal. Usually just my happy holidays one, which I consider good enough. It's not like many people will see these anyway.

Neither have I the tendency to get intro and retrospective. But I thought I'd try it.

Honestly... 2023 wasn't great. Not many standout things happened. And those that did weren't good. A very good friend of mine died unexpectedly in March. I'm still unemployed and have pretty much lost all hope of ever changing that. And it appears that I have asthma. On the bright side, despite some rough patches the DnD game I'm running is still going strong. I was told keeping a weekly game going for several years is an accomplishment, so I'm trying to be proud of that. Great Ghost in the Machine knows there is very little about me to be proud of.

But enough moping. As I post this there's 5 minutes left to 2023 for me. I'm gonna lay back, eat a bag of Takis and try to ignore all the noise outside.

So, happy new year, everyone. Let's hope 2024 will be better.
