Life in 2007 was pretty damned interesting, and I daresay a little less stressful than 2006. The most notable events (in no particular order) were:
- Winning a spot on the national bargaining team for my union.
- Taking a trip to Anza Borego and the Salton Sea.
- Traveling to Eugene for Darren and Chelsea’s hearings.
- Experiencing a car break down and a car fire during said trip to Eugene and back.
- Taking a ton of trips to Ottawa, and around BC for union and work.
- Getting a new job with a whole new set of responsibilities.
- Getting re-elected to several union positions.
- Visiting a federal correctional institution in the US for the first time.
- Going to Wild Earth.
- Taking a number of photographs I am really pleased with.
- Meeting Michael who tinkered with my world view.
- Having a one month period of depression that was really intense – but working my way out of it just the same.
- Talking to lots of lawyers.
- Attending many parties at Kyla’s.
- Throwing a baby shower for Anna and celebrating Cai’s birth.
- Talking to Chelsea by phone for the first time since she was arrested in 2005. Meeting her family.
- Winning a contest for a poem.
- Writing a lot and realizing I can call myself a writer now.
- Reconnecting with a bunch of people Facebook.
- Dating a schwack of people.
- Meeting Brian and no longer dating a schwack of people (just one who makes me happy – much easier).
All in all I’m damned grateful for all my experiences this year… Almost 35 and feeling stronger at the end of this year than I did last.
