2005 was good for me re only one cold and no flus, I made it the entire year without those types of sicknesses mostly, which is always a good thing! My obsessive hand washing paid off I reckon LOL.
Not a good year for gardening for me. Spring was mostly cold and damp, took probably until middle of June before it warmed up. Lots of mosquitoes about then, and it was aphid heaven too, eating up everything. I did a lot of spraying and killing aphids in 2005 LOL.
Then it turned summer and got sickenly hot and humid, and you had to completely douse yourself in Deet to even visit my garden, else you'd be eaten alive by mosquitos (sweating really brings em on). Then out of nowhere my electric windows in my car went out, so all I had all summer is the one window next to me on my front driver's side that would go down, and the window directly behind me on the right back seat, which only goes down half way (child proof - and I have no child LOL). And my AC works lamely and makes my car heat up too much when I use it, so I just don't, and so I sweated it out massively summer of 2005 on my way home from work every day. Finally I brought in shorts and a very light top with me into work so I could change before I left off for home, and I said to myself "to hell with the creepies across the street from my work at the Kebab Palace!," LOL, I'm running out to my car in shorts, barefoot, and in a skimpy top. It's kinda humiliating in a way LOL, but it really helped keep me from just melting away in standstill, sun beaming directly in, traffic. I go directly home too LOL.
Planted a tree in Autumn. My Dad dug a baby one up in his yard and gave it to me in September. It's a "silk" tree, sometimes also known as a Mimosa I think. Very soft palmy tree with furry looking pink blossoms in the summer. I hope it does OK in 2006. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Felt more festive re the Christmas holidays this year than I did last year. Really took time out for everyone, and decorating, even bought a new CD of Christmas Music, all electric guitar, but it really was fun to listen to. [img]smile.gif[/img]
So all in all, I end 2005 pretty much OK. It wasn't a terrible year for me, wasn't a great year for me. [img]smile.gif[/img]
