I totally blew past last year. Pretty much Covid. And sickness, more sickness, death, riots, killings, people losing jobs.....it wasn’t pretty. That sums up 2020. Now, in 2021 we thought things were better. People got vaccinated, the virus quieted down and then reared it’s ugly head yet again. Paul and I got vaccinated, and that’s all. No boosters for us. Nope, none.
So, this year 2021 yours truly managed to slip and fall down a flight of stairs at work. This was in mid September and now it’s mid December and here I sit. After surgery, lots of pain and recovery time (of which I am still recovering), physical therapy and losing my job....I sit here and write this. I wonder if my ankle will ever be the same. I guess time will tell.
One month ago, on November 13, we lost our beloved little CiCi. She started acting differently and stopped eating, couldn’t maintain her balance, etc. our vet said she hurt her back and prescribed meds. The next day she seemed worse and we rushed her to the emergency vet who diagnosed hemangiosarcoma, for which there is no cure. It’s deadly, malignant and swift. She had it no longer than a few weeks. We had to make a decision we didn’t want to make but I couldn’t have my baby girl suffer. Now she’s an angel and our house is so quiet. No barking st the street, or chasing squirrels, sitting on the back of the sofa, waiting for me to finish my shower, and mostly not there to sleep on the pillow beside me. Her absence is almost more than I can stand. Run free my sweet girl and keep an eye on us. We miss and love you. My other two girls, Daisy and Bella, have stuck by my side. I love them so much.
We are about to have an in-ground pool installed. Will be great next summer when it’s hotter than hell here. I’ll post progress and pictures. If I don’t forget, that is!
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and please stay safe. Let’s make 2022 a year of happiness, health and healing!
