Get lost 2012! Get your dirty hands off me!

Happy New Year to you, wherever you are. How are you celebrating? This is how we are celebrating.

It's Mr BC for the hospital corners again!

Yes, Mr BC is back in hospital, god he must love that place. It is not a clot in his lung this time, so please don't be alarmed. About a week ago, he went fishing and caught a catfish, that struggled and fought long and hard before being hauled into the boat, and then proceeded to spike the brave fisherman before being thrown overboard. (honestly, who wants to debone a catfish? Not me!)

Anyway, the spike went directly in between the bones in a finger joint. A bit of antiseptic on a band aid and all seemed well, until yesterday when the finger suddenly turned into a painful balloon. A balloon that needed surgery. On New Years Eve. To complicate everything, he has been exposed during the week to golden staph (OMG!) so they put him in a ward opposite a lovely but sad man who has had golden staph for many years (OM FREAKING G!!) Anyway, I can relax now because the surgery is finished, and there was no staph of any colour in the annoying balloon finger. I know Mr BC is fine because he sent me a text to say he was out of surgery and could I please go to Subway and get him a meatball sub and a chocolate milk. Which I did, because I am a good wife.

So it seems that 2012 was a bit of a bastard year, and managed to give us some drama right up to the very end. GET LOST, 2012! And get your dirty hands off me and my family! I am not a pessimistic person by nature, so lets have a quick look at the year.

February Getting Shit Done My ode to Pinterest.

March 10 Things I've learned from Blogging Blogging got me all sorts of inspired about life.

April Pulmonary Embolism The one where my husband almost died. I don't like to read it but I can't leave it out. (you can skip it if you like, we can still be friends.) Or read this one! Funny rant!

So, there you go - the year wasn't allll bad. Still happy to see it go. Hope you are celebrating the turn of the year in suitable fashion, with (or without) loved ones, with a champagne (or chocolate biscuit, choose your poison) in hand.

Happy New Year to you! See you on the flip side.
