Q1
Describe a significant experience that has happened in the past year. How did it affect you? Are you grateful? Relieved? Resentful? Inspired?

A
I went to DragonCon
I went to katsucon
I went to gencon

I enjoyed them all, but dragon Con twas too big perhaps? And too social and party. I preferred gencon.

I broke up with two partners, one of which I thought was going to lead to marriage. I was frustrated and disappointed, but I think I am over it now.

I evolved two of my relationships. One friend with benefits became a primary to our surprise. One became a secondary.

There was a being dumped and getting back together with the primary which really pushed us to better define what we wanted and what we were.

I moved to Nova. It is lovely but it isn't where family is, and my primary isn't here.

I sold my house in Blacksburg. It was bittersweet even though that was the plan from the start.

I have lost my friends from Blacksburg mostly which makes me sad.

I started the process of moving to Canada as a permanent resident.

Francis is dying.

My sister is falling apart.

I closed my tea company
I started working for Geico
I left my job at Rackspace

I went to ghc for the first time. It was amazing to go-to a technology conference that was mostly women. It's where I got the job offer from GEICO.

I was a speaker at an information security conference for the first (bsideslv) and second (the Diana initiative) time

Had to put down Chester, he was so stoic. Slack's and he never did get along. He never did make it to Nova, probably for the best.

Visited San Diego again, but this time ended up evolving the friendship I went for into a partner.

Had a lovely vacation in la where friends became partners.

Williamsburg, or was that last year?

Having to move again. Everything is going in storage and I am going to Canada after a stay over in Philly.

Had my first colonoscopy, they did find things, we did decided I didn't have hemerroids or diverticulitis.

Purchased a new car, Subaru Forester. I hate car buying. I miss my Civic but needed the space and it will import into Canada easily.

Finally got to stay at the library hotel in NYC.

Finally got threader earrings. Hopefully I can keep my holes from closing.

Had accupuncture for the first time. It has been helpful.

Finally started having my wrist treated.

Found out how much stress made me ill as many of my health issues, but not all, ended when iquit my job.

I am... Unsure how I feel about the last year. I guess I am thankful it went as well as it did, even with the sad moments.

I realized how accustomed to remote and flexible with I have become, and that it is no longer optional or a nice to have for me.
