It's a question I've been pondering lately. To say this past year, and into this year has been a rough year, it would be an understatement. Up to today, I haven't had any luck in getting a job, and it's frustrating (to say the least). Luckily my older brother is still working, and my younger brother is dealing with mental health issues, and in the mean time we find ourselves hoping and praying that he will be able to keep his job as a result.
Our housing situation is complicated, at best. We are faced with the ever increasing likelihood of selling our house, and where we go from there is anybody's guess. It's a frustrating situation, and one that wouldn't be happening if I could just land a job, and then we'd probably have to rent out a room once that happens. Of course if I'm able to get a job, and my older brother is able to get a higher paying job, then we would be in better shape.
My biggest concern with selling the house, is making sure we can keep our dogs. Besides my brothers & I, they are most important to us, as well as our cats, but it would be really hard to not have our dogs. They are good dogs. They love to stay indoors, and we've had them for 7 years now.

A New Year...2014
So the holidays have come and gone, and to be honest, it didn't really feel like much of a holiday season for my brothers and I. We went over to our Aunt's house on Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and in terms of our Aunt's side of the family doing anything with us during the holiday season, that was the sum of it. We had plans, but they were always cancelled on us for one reason or the other.
My brothers and I spent New Year's Eve eating appetizers and watching a movies (a tradition that we were able to keep alive). I did watch a little of the Rose Parade, and the Rose Bowl game, but it felt weird doing so without my dad. So rather than watching much of the game, we just watched three movies on blu-ray. In total, we watched four movies between New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. The movies we wound up watching were Pacific Rim, Kick-Ass 2, Despicable Me 2, and The Internship.
I can't speak for my brothers, but I really didn't celebrate the coming of the new year, primarily because it felt weird doing so without our dad, and because there are still important matters heading into this year. Those would be a job, and staying in our house. It would be nice if I'm able to get a job, and sooner rather than later.
As for resolutions headed into the new year, I didn't really make any aside from those two, and continue my diet that I started in December. I lost at least 10 pounds in December, and probably gained 5 of those back over the course of the last week. I have however managed to increase my nightly walk time to an hour plus, a night. On nights where I don't make it to an hour, I'm reaching 50 minutes. Starting tomorrow, I'm getting back to eating better, and back on a diet.
There's only three events I'm looking forward to so far this year. Actually four. Those would be the Super Bowl, the AMC Best Picture Showcase, WWE Raw (although as of right now I don't have anyone that's willing to drive to Staples Center for it), and WWE SmackDown. I say the Super Bowl, because I think I want to invite people over to our house for a change. It would be a nice and welcome change for once.
