A great deal has happened in the last two years - my checkups have continued to be good, I’m able to do much more. I’ve been decluttering as fast as possible, with several trips to the dump.
Unfortunately, 2020 brought a pandemic and the world (especially mine) came to a halt. I’m extremely lucky that I live with my son. He’s the one going out to the grocery store weekly and doing most of the contact with the outside world. My trips have been to the doctor and pharmacy with rare trips to a store or the credit union.
There is a vaccine now and, where I live, I can now make an appointment to get it. I hope it’s a quick process and I hope my sons and family can be vaccinated soon. In the meantime, I have plenty of masks, soap, bleach and, as I said, I stay home most of the time.
Our political landscape has been chaotic to say the least. I’ve said many times I never thought I’d see an African-American as President but I did. I never thought I’d live to see a woman elected but now I have. And I could never have anticipated seeing an insurrection - an attack at the US Capitol. But I have. I admit to being scared and shaken - and grateful that things didn’t get worse.
I’ve high hopes for 2021 - it may take some time, but things will calm down. Fingers crossed.
