Not loving 2014 so far

Why don't I like 2014 so far? Several reasons.
First: Jan. 2nd I had a small accident on the way to work. It was my fault. Although I checked the lane next to me - more than once - a car was there when I started to change lanes. I'm still not sure where he came from. My car had a small dent and a broken cover to the turn signal on the driver's side. I was not planning on  having it repaired The other car was dented and scraped down the passenger side, including both doors. No citation was given (phew) but it bothered me.
Second: my brother was in the hospital over the new year holiday and is still recovering.
Third: Jan 17th (fifteen days after my fender bender) I was driving to work when someone crossed the yellow line, slammed into my car, totaling it. I have found a car and pick it up in a couple of days. I will miss my Subaru.
I hope I just got all of the bad shit out of the way in January and the rest of 2014 will be smooth sailing.

Happy New Year

How did you celebrate the new year?
I worked and then visited my brother in the hospital New Year's Eve. I went to bed about 10pm. New Year's Day, I got up early and went to the hospital so I could be there when the doctor(s) came in. Then my wonderful sister-in-law, Michelle and I went to see "Saving Mr. Banks". What a wonderful movie!
My shoulder is much better. I had a cortisone/lidocaine injection. Good stuff.
I think I'm going to make a haircut appointment for mid-January. I'm not sure if my hair will actually be long enough to take my wig off, but it'll need a little evening out. It's growing back rather quickly but it isn't even.
I'm thinking cancer may be a deal breaker when it comes to dating. I was "talking" to a man online and another that I knew already and when they heard that I had cancer, they both pretty much disappeared. Stupid men! But not all men are stupid. I know some wonderful ones. They just aren't available.
Ah well...
I do have some of the greatest kids in the history of the universe! And they decided to give their mom a family vacation for Christmas. How did I get so lucky?
