The October Twist

October for years has been my foe! And many ages ago I planned to get married(if I ever was to get married) in Oct just to make it a better month. It is kinda funny because fall really is my favorite time of year and the colors that represent fall are my favorite colors - yet October has long been my Nemesis. October (more than other months) seemed to have horrible things happen, and I began to dread the month. 1996 - a dear friend committed suicide - after we had MANY talks about it, and I feared I might succumb to the same fate. 1997 - left WM after a year and a half to move back with the folks (hard at 22) 1998 - self diagnosed depression - after MANY days of being curled up on my bed balling my eyes out (diagnosed by a Doctor the next Jan) 1999 - major injury to my shoulder, leading to me leaving WM the next Feb 2000 - major injury to my ankle (leading to the second year in a row of PT throughout the Christmas season and New Year) 2005 - realized that the headache that started a month earlier wasn't going away any time soon - in fact it took another year and $25,000 (plus the money the insurance paid) 2006 - moved to CO - 2007 - Got fired 2008- was a WONDERFUL year - however the very people that were making my Oct wonderful stabbed me in the back in Dec and now we are in 2009 And I am hoping it is good! I have my Best Friend coming out, the weekend after that a weekend away, and then a weekend housesitting. So much potential for October this year!!! And if any of you dear friends of mine decide to hurt me in Dec - I will hunt you down and shoot you!!! - but no pressure love ya <3
