2021 in review

Tweet

You all know how much I like doing reviews so here is my year in review for 2021. Awhile back on here, around this time of year I compared years to having flavors. I remember @xander6464 wished me a spaghetti year, simple, satisfying and tasty. :-D Instead the past few years have been like burned pizza. You make it through it. It's not the best. So it is with 2021. The year began nicely, quietly enough. Still mostly isolated since vaccines weren't widely available. It wasn't too far in to 2021 that I noticed my best friend, Jodi acting strangely though. She passed away from lung cancer in March of 2021 and I'm still reeling. I didn't expect her to pass. After Jodi passed I spent a lot of time doing the bare minimum and sleeping. I actually did that until about fall. There were some enjoyable moments mixed in though. Like Momma and I planted a garden, got vaccinated and boosted, and for a brief period in summer when cases were down we took several day trips, to Mitchell, SD and the Corn Palace and Taylor's Falls here for the Riverboat ride several times. Went on my tour of fairs and participated in a couple of Renaissance festivals with my dance troupe friends. I got royally backstabbed by another "friend", but that "friend" got me going to Church again, a Church I feel comfortable at. I made some new friends through Church and got 3 more dog-pet sitting accounts :-) Had a close call with Covid, it made me thankful that I'm boostered... and the holidays were nice. I got the VR Headset back in fall as Covid cases started going back up - so it helps me keep active and sane somewhat. So I guess 2021 was like a burned pizza that still had a piece of pepperoni or 2 that was alright. Ha. I am grateful for the parts of 21 that didn't bite too much, and I hope that 2022 is a lot kinder for me, for everyone. How was your 21? What are your hopes for 22? Photo: Pixabay
