It’s a new year, and the same old me. More broken down parts than before, but still running.
I have had both doses of vaccine - so that is something good I think. My side effects were headache and body aches that lasted 2 days. I’ve felt a lot worse with colds, so this was tolerable. I guess for all the nutball conspiracy loons - the chip is implanted. Government/Bill Gates care deeply when I go for groceries. I can’t stand the stupid.
I’m making my yearly appointment to see my financial advisor in a couple of weeks. Hopefully to get a very clear path to retirement. Freedom 55. I will make it happen. My investments are holding steady with the chaos of the world and I am building up my savings every month. The whole pandemic thing... if you are lucky enough to keep your job, there aren’t a lot of ways to spend money anymore.
I am still finding a couple of things to buy. Lately it has been books. I used to exchange books with a Mom of kid #3’s teammate. Well, thanks Covid. Everything is totally f’d for kids that play team sports. I don’t see her very often at all. So I got the Goodreads app and I buy my own. Some day we will have boxes of books to exchange. Right now I’m reading Lilac Girls and finished The Great Believers. Quite outside of my usual reads, but very much eye openers. I don’t ever want to be unable to see past the end of my nose.
My part of the world is still moderately locked down. I know 2 people that have lost their elderly parents due to Covid. I know about 15 people that have had it. 1 in ICU for a week, and one with lingering problems since March. The anti-mask dip shits are so stupid it pains my mind. The lockdown rules that allow big retail to stay wide open but I can’t have company to my home, or we just go meet in a bar makes no sense except that retailers have the politicians under their thumbs.
But other than that I’m great. Not really , but we just keep swimming, finding joy in small ways. We have family game nights now, that we didn’t ever have time for before. We take walks, we try new recipes, I’m teaching kid #3 cooking and baking on the days off from school. I watch movies that I didn’t have time for before.
I can’t comment on any blogs which is really a pain - I enjoy reading about others days as mine are pretty quiet.
Here is out a window after a wee bit of snow a couple months ago:

I'm grateful for so many things. But, for the kids, it's just so hard.
Sending you good thoughts to be locked & loaded for 55! :-)
Those are all good things.
Oh so long since I heard from you! I just shake my head at the nonsense. The problem is most of Hubs family is in the group. Makes it really hard for us to go down and take care of mom and dad. Hubs had to really jump his mom about the vaccine thing, "Where do the come up with this crap? Again so happy to have a post from you, I have missed you.
thats great that you have been vaccinated. There certainly are some nutters around at the moment though.
