Year end wrap up

 So this year:

I maintained 2 Facebook accounts, 2 twitter accounts (with daily posts), 2 instagrams, a pinterest and a patreon

I saw 46 movies (I can still make my 50 if I work at it.)

Oddest: Horse Girl

Best: Dr. Sleep

New to me: The Man who Laughs, Fun House, the True Grit remake, Crimes of Grindlewald, The Chocolate War, Carousel, It, Ghost Galleon, Weird, Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, Bill &Ted Face the Music, Society, Luca, The Journey of Natty Gann, Mr. Harrigan's Phone


I read 26 books, only 5 of which were mine. 
Best New: Doctor Sleep
Best Reread: Good Omens
Most disappointing: Knit of the Living Dead. Entirely too cozy and focused on things like tea cups and clothing than solving the murder.

I published 3 books: Master Anton, The Sweet Science of Bruising and Captain Calamity's Bedside Reader (a steampunk collection).


I ran subscription box, CrossRoad Treasures from my Patreon. My seven subscribers provided a bit of money for me and got a variety of goodies:

\

July August was a double box, with a windspinner, a pendulum, a spellbook, a dragon egg. April got a market bag, a trivet and a washcloth.

May got a massagaing soap caddy, an Aldi quarter keeper and a scrying mirror.


The Dec/Jan box got 4 ornaments, sugar scrub, a planner and dice for divination (along with instructions).
I made most of the stuff. They also got paperback copies of every book I put out this year.

Crossroad Treasures also went on the road. We did several shows, including the Jonesboro Psychic Fair, Batesville Scottish Festival, Nashville Pagan Pride, Festival of Souls and the Wynne Holiday Market


I made many lovely things this year. 









I kept my diabetes under control and got my med card for another year of driving.
Mudd started dealing at a casino. Jon is in dealer school now. Oli is finishing her BA. Victoria worked as a restaurant hostess and manager. Chris is finishing his masters and raising those two boys.

It's been a good year.
