Well, the world is still spinning and things are not all that different just because we flipped a page on a calendar. In fact, some people may say that its worse. I kind of feel like it could always be worse, so I'm not going to tempt fate by typing that. However, I am going to gripe a little:
Long stories short:
*Still haven't heard from Dylan - all of their Christmas gifts sit in boxes out in the garage because I can't bear to look at them every day. Apparently this is causing him zero concern.
*Still haven't had a text from call from Chloe (since she left on the 2nd) so I guess she's still holding onto her post-holiday grudge and truth be told, maybe so am I.
*Grayson is having a hard time - drama with his GF and poor grades. I hate to land on him like a ton of bricks, but no, don't bring me D's. Not OK.
*My mother fell and RUPTURED her eyeball. Loss of sight in that eye, maybe permanent. Too soon to tell if the cornea will need to be replaced - right now we are hoping the retina will heal. Taking her back to her house after she had been at my sister's in Georgetown for a week was nerve-wracking.
*Finally took the Christmas tree down a couple days ago. Eventually I will clean my carpets and redecorate shelves and such. I have a long list of things I want to do for my house this year,.
*Learning a new modality at work and trying to focus instead of losing my mind with family and world events. I'm taking my vitamins and fish oil, getting plenty of sleep, studying in my off time.
I was amused by people who were so excited to get 2020 behind us. Frankly, my guess is that 2021 will be equally bad, or perhaps worse. Living here on Planet Pattie tends to suit me quite well. Egad! Your poor mom with her ruptured eyeball. That sounds horrible. Hang in there, Gina, what other choice do we have?
