2010 was quite a year…..
I went to the west coast for the first time and saw the Pacific Ocean (If you haven’t seen the video, check it out). I was a new unemployed graduate registered nurse in a bad economy (in reply to this…please don’t say “I thought there was a nursing shortage”, I might lose it). I had several gallbladder attacks that led to tears and Vicotin and eventually a laproscopic surgery to remove it. I moved into a new place that had more room than I have furniture…I am overjoyed to be out of a mid-rise apartment in the west end. I began a two mile commute to work. LOST ended. I didn’t get my hair cut. I played the Akinator and it guessed the most obscure thing I could think of…… the dog in the Bush’s Baked Bean commercials ……..and I instantly became paranoid.
Most importantly…..Here is what rocked my face off with music, maybe it rocked yours off too:
