This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper
-T.S. Eliot
I love this poem, and it seems a bit fitting for the end of 2017 for me. I am back from my trip but currently in the throes of a death plague that seems to be neverending (it seems patently unfair that I was sick two Christmases in a row, but I suppose that's par for the course with my immune system).

They don't mind when I'm sick cause it means extra couch time for them. |
At least if I have to be laid up on the couch coughing up bits of my lungs, the weather is equally as disgusting outside so I don't feel like I'm missing quality time with the horses. Nobody wants to be outside when the real feel is consistently in the single digits -- brrrrr.

My second USDF award came while I was gone. Guess I need to figure out where to hang these? Since I'm apparently starting a collection... |
I feel a little too dulled by the NyQuil to even attempt any kind of 2017 recap. And I achieved like none of my 2017 goals so I don't want to write about those either, haha.

I guess I could write about some of the fun Christmas swag I acquired :) |
Here's to 2018 starting better than 2017 is ending -- if I get my whimper out of the way, maybe the bang will follow ;)
Winer dogs lol!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon!
Aren't those so funny?? She always finds great dachshund-related gifts haha.
Deleteaww feel better soon! wishing you more bang in 2018!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteFeel better soon! Goals are overrated, I think. Mostly because I failed like 97% of mine, too.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm finally on the upswing after 7+ days of sick, blech. But yeah. Goals. Let's not talk about those 😂
DeleteThose winer dogs are amazing haha! I hope you feel better soon :)
ReplyDeleteAren't they perfect? Lol
DeleteHope you're feeling better soon. If nothing else, those winer dogs have to have cheered you up a little!
ReplyDeleteThey definitely made me smile!
DeleteUgh, our weather is pretty miserable too. -12C but -23C with the windchill. Ick
ReplyDeleteBrrrrr. The wind chill makes it so much worse!
Deletelol do a robotripping review of 2017 - that would be quite entertaining. Feel better!
ReplyDeleteHaha it would definitely be entertaining! I'm feeling lots better thankfully, although I still have a lingering cough. It's still stupid cold outside though, so more time to hang out on the couch and recover!
