Now I'm alone in my room, enjoying solitude after a whole day of cooking and saying goodbye to 2009. In front of me is a glass of beer to reward myself for all the efforts I made this year. This drink should taste better than anything.
To be honest, I have never felt this exhausted at the end of a year... exhausted not from being busy, but from wondering, worrying or being paranoid throughout the year. Yeah, and from "waiting" without knowing what I was waiting for. Uncertainty wears you out, doesn't it?
But for tonight, I'm just going to give myself a gentle hug and let the old year go.
Thank you, dear readers, for being with me as I went through a big transition.
I don't know how I could have survived this year without you.
See you all in 2010! :)
