2016 Year in review
- Saw in the new year by going to bed at 10pm in New York City with a small party going on in the living room
- Went to Vermont and saw my massive extended family with all their babies and realised I had reached a certain stage in life and felt nice about it
- Went back to work full time and cried in my office every day for 2 weeks, not wanting to be there.
- Had Matilda brought to me each lunch time for feeding for 6 months, including to conferences and meetings
- Had a disatrous 6 week visit form Jason's parents during which time I decided to drink extremely heavily and wreck the relationship, leaving them fearing for their son and grand daughter
- cleaned up my act and had long stints of sobriety and sanity
- Had absolutely no sex drive and experienced sex just to keep ones hat in the ring, when I would have preferred to be watching netflix
- Had my 9 day fortnight stolen from me. Have numerous fallings out with my boss. Told everyone who would listen I can't stand my boss. Subsequently regretted it.
- Was moved to a huge swanky office.
- Was cautioned for thing long naps under my desk at work. Pretended there was some medical reason for doing this opening a can of worms.
- Was arrested and incarcerated in the "Short Stays" psychiatric ward at RPA against my will, behind 3 security doors. Tried to explain that I had somewhere important to be while they sorted through scraps of rupees and other small change from different countries in my wallet, as though i was a delusional psycho.
- Bought an apartment in St Kilda
- Bought an apartment in Fremantle
- Because obsessed with the property market. Bid for a property in Tasmania but was too slow with the finance
- Borrowed 20K from Jason due to over extending myself with the apartment shopping. Still to be repaid.
- Met Hannah's new man, G-Love and the Special Sauce, when he was in Singapore. Had a few other old school friends, uni friends and friends from the 'Desh pass through.
- Realised how sacred breast feeding is and how lucky I am to be doing it.
- yearned for my body back and to remove the small human sucking on my boob all the time
- was told Matilda is underweight. Tasked the nanny with fattening her up. Retasked the nanny with fattening her up on western food not chickens feet and disgusting random Filipino food
- Went to Korea, Indonesia, Krabi, Penang, Hong Kong, Sydney, Perth, Cambodia.
- Moved house to a bigger place to accommodate the bigger family. told the nanny she has to live with us. Thought she would be happy but she was not.
- Had the nanny pack the old house and unpack the new house. Lost half my sh*t and can't find the other half.
- Interviewed for random jobs at the Singapore Sports Hub and a law firm in the Gold COast. Was offered both and took neither.
- Learnt my dad had cancer, went to see him in hospital, spoke on the phone a few times and took Matilda to his funeral. Confronted the possibility that i had only heard one side of the story all these years.
- had a wonderful island holiday with Matilda running on the beach and doing koala hugs.
- Brokered a deal with Jason in which I can have another baby if I can demonstrate a year of continuous sanity. Felt sad because Im not sure I can.
... clutching at sanity like Tara Reid to a warm bottle of the second least expensive champagne...
