Not With a Bang But a Whimper

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 ;)

  3. Feel better soon! Goals are overrated, I think. Mostly because I failed like 97% of mine, too.

    1. Haha 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!
