Happy New Year!!!

I'm so glad to see the back of 2021. There were some happy moments, lest you think you must don widow's weeds every time I post.

I was able to finally give my Mom's house a proper clean out. While she was recuperating from her fall, we dove in and seriously gave the old house a makeover. We cleaned every room, we threw out 50 bags if garbage, I counted, we replaced faucets and stove backsplashes and rugs and did about a million loads of laundry.

I was awarded Top Agent of 2021 by my company. I love the job, I really do.

mywitch and I went to Orlando's Universal Studio's Meet up, and I had the time of my life. The highlight of my year, hands down. I would go anywhere with this girl. Even just driving around with no particular destination would be a fun vacation. Love you, sweetie. And next time, I promise to bring the right snacks.

The first month of the Go Fund Me has been phenomenal. Thank you to everyone who contributed, some more than once. If you know of anyone else who would be willing to help, please pass on the information. You all have been so good to me. I will never be able to truly thank you enough.

I didn't bother to stay up for the ball drop last night. There was no need, since the days of Auld Lang Syne didn't seem worthy of a cup of kindness. With any luck, I will be drinking to a very different, hopefully better world this time next year.

Thank you, Kelly. It's going to be a hard few months, but I hope it will be over soon.

Top agent of 2021? That’s pretty impressive. I’m glad you have a job you enjoy.

I hope the drama in your life can get resolved as quickly as possible so you can start to rebuild and move on.

I have loved watching people be so responsive to your go fund me.

Here’s to a year with more ups than downs 🥂

Thank you. I am so thankful for you al. In the middle of a very intense panic attack right now. Thankfully I have LJ to look at. It is starting to calm me a little bit.

I'm glad you're still able to centre yourself and find the good in the past year. Nothing is ever all good or all bad, but we're not always in places we can see it. It's huge that you can after what you've been through lately. Congratulations. (Also for being awarded Top Agent. It's always nice to get some external recognition.)

2022 will be better, you just need to hang in there until the better times come. (We all do, really after the past two years...) 🍀

Thank you. I'm trying to hold on. I've had a major panic attack tonight. I'm trying to calm down from it. Being here at LJ helps. You are all so supportive. As my mom says, it will be okay one way or another. I just hope the way it will be ok includes me being able to survive.
