Happy solar new year nerds. I have been having feelings [tm] about the passage of time and the last 12 months. I am sat on my couch in the Greater Vancouver Area with my 5 month old chihuahua and my almost 3 year old husky-mutt under blankets because my heat is out, and I am... happy.

It has been ages since I have felt this... effortlessly content. Ianto is currently begging for special food [I do not know what Special food is in his mind, he won't tell me. just that the food that is out is not what he's after] and Klaus is curled up with a hot water bottle and a denta stick and I have a coffee. Life is good.

So, this post is a bit of a sappy retrospective on the last 12 months. Feel free to skip if not what you're after and, of course, absolutely no ill will towards people who didn't have a good 2023. I get it. just getting through to 2024 is waaaay more than enough to call it your year.

First quarter; started the year off bad. No water, no floor, no contract for 2023 at my then-current job at Camel Town.

Highlights; sleepover at my friend's house [because my water was frozen], and a trip to the local christmas market. It was a nice day out with Johannes.

Second Quarter; got a reduced contract, fewer hours and less money, but enough to float till I got another job. Got quite a few interviews including the one for my current job1 found a place to live in the GVA [turned out to be a scam], and moved down here. Also learned about Klaus' oops existence and started to plan for him to come home.

Highlights; made another friend1 started my job and am doing very well I think. got money, did meetings, did some networking. did good.

Third quarter; brought Klaus home, continued to make friends, continued to do good work.

Highlight; met Myth1 they spent the weekend at my place and they are very very sweet.

Fourth quarter; settled into my life enough to realize I need to move, but its not life or death, its just a bit more expensive than ideal to live here. Klaus finished his vaccines and started day care - he is shy but not nervous according to the day care folk.

Highlight; accidentally got myself a boyfriend? we went to the Vancouver Winter Market and I went swimming. It was very fun. My meds were reduced from 50mg to 30mg over 2 months. With luck, I'll go down to 20 in January or February.

One day you think: I want to die. And then you think, very quietly, actually I want a coffee. I want a nap. A sandwich. A book. And I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friends, I want to sit in the sun. I want a cleaner room, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else, I want to live.

We have officially reached a viewership level that has never been obtained by another museum before! All of us at the Sacramento History Museum are in disbelief.

We would have never thought that our institution, a small nonprofit museum in Sacramento, California, could reach this many views, but we are incredibly thankful for all of those who take the time to watch our videos and for your support.

In this video, Howard letterpress printed a headline announcing “Sacramento History Museum Reaches One Billion Video Views On YouTube” while using our Washington hand press, which was manufactured in 1852!

Stone cooking supports used to grill skewers of meat by Minoans on Santorini, circa 3600 years old. The line of holes in the base supplied coals with oxygen. Many consider modern "souvlaki" street kebabs a direct descendant of this portable food system. Museum of Prehistoric Thera, Greece. More: https://thetravelbible.com/museum-of-artifacts/
