Is anyone else ready for 2016 to just be over already?

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm focusing on the negative. Maybe it's just been a confluence of bad karma and other lousy star alignments, but HOLY CRAP CAN THIS YEAR BE OVER ALREADY? I know that 2017 may not be any better, but somehow I need some kind of punctuation on this year from hades. And I'm really, really hoping that 2017 decides to play nice. Or else :)

Sorry for the language...but yeah, exactly.

Though, really, I feel like even posting this is inviting the last couple of weeks of this year to be even more epically difficult. I swear that's not what I'm doing. This is not meant as a challenge, promise. But yeah, it's been a long one, filled with grant rejections, and everything not going according to plan in the lab, and challenges at work, and my book not selling, and lack of writing, and divorce final paperwork, and epic "adventures" in dating, and generally just feeling like a giant steamroller flattened me. I could really use a few days (or weeks, months) on a beach somewhere...

Anyhow, just my ramblings about this year. Please tell me other people have had a wonderful year? That the faint glow of January 1st in the distance isn't as alluring as it is to me?
