This year really was a strange one. Not in any sense that previous years have been, in any but a minor way, but strange nevertheless.
The main thing is that it went too fast. I know that that sort of perception is always an issue. You get older or more stressed or busy and the time just seems to fly. I got sick twice and that ran into about 6 – 8 weeks overall if you include recovery time, but that wasn’t the problem. Too many other people have said the same thing: where did this year go?
Think about it. Didn’t you say, more than once, how did it get to be this month? Didn’t days and weeks pass and you couldn’t really remember what had happened or how it had become a new season? I’m not saying there were mass alien abductions or experiments on the human population, but this year was just not normal.
Now, I could come up with some sort of explanation that ties into my current physical condition, but again, too many other people have had the same experience and besides, it wouldn’t be nearly as satisfying as blaming it all on some mysterious force. So I’m going with the mystery on this one.
So one more time before it’s over, I will ask the question: where did this year go?
Now it’s time to plan for next year, which may involve lists.

It seemed weird only because it is the final full year of existence. In case you've forgotten, the calendar expires before the end of next year.
I had forgotten. That explains everything.
