Yes yes, I’m supposed to write these on Jan 1, but I didn’t get that far. So I’m now sitting down while feeling hard done by that I can’t knit (it’s not that bad, but the scarf unfinished is irritating), and thinking on what did get accomplished in 2018. There was a lot of mundane A&S (oxymoron much?), but it’s part of my world, so you get that too. I used to keep better track, I tried to again in 2018, and did not /bad/ at doing so. Let’s see what I have in the notes and the eternally faulty memory.

I’ve probably forgotten stuff, my canning notes are especially sketch. There’s also plenty of baking and general cooking that happens in all of this, but somehow that doesn’t seem to bother counting. Not a bad year, I’d say. 2019 is going to look a whole heck of a lot different!
