i'd say november 2009 definitely had it's ups and downs. here's a semi-detailed list of events: i ended things with my negligent boyfriend (down and up). i started things with the old fling (up up up). i missed thanksgiving with my family (mostly down). i got a boot on my car (embarrassing, expensive, and down). i drunkenly climbed some late-night scaffolding without getting hurt (what goes up...). and i found out my dog may have kidney problems (down down down down forever down).

i'd say it was a big full month either way. let's see what december brings.
