ok, here we go with 2022
Jan. 8th, 2022 07:42 pmI had this whole Post typed out, and then I decided that nobody really needed to read the dreary details so here are the highlights:
\o/ I finally (after decades of searching) found window candles that are both cordless *and* bright enough to be seen from the street.
/o\ I didn't get to cards or cookies, both of which I generally enjoy
\o/ I *did* manage a really good Beef Wellington this year for Christmas Day dinner
/o\ D got sick enough that I spent Christmas/Boxing/etc Day hunting for an appointment for someone to see him.
\o/ A receptionist at one of the many Urgent Care centers I called not only took our info but CALLED US BACK when an appointment opened up, so we got in and got some antibiotics, which, even though the things they were testing him for turned out negative, made him feel incredibly better by the 3rd dose.
--- Still not sure if this is a good thing or not, but we decided to join friends at WDW, which did D (& me) great amounts of good mentally, just to be somewhere else. We ate outside/did not do parks/grabbed take-out for NYE & hung out at the rooms (which, I mean, were on the water and had enough electronics to plug in custom playlists and had a view of the Epcot fireworks at midnight so not exactly a hardship), but we did have a couple of very mild cases of Covid as we all got home and tested, so, sigh. (Only #2Son tested positive at our house so he's been hibernating in his room with the air purifier.)
\o/ On a whim, I bought one of the Lego MCU minifigs in the blind packets and ended up with Bucky, whee! I still have a custom minifig I put together years ago for Darcy, so now I can waste time by trying to figure out how to create a little diorama for waiting in the eye of the storm.
I am very much enjoying all y'all's Snowflake posts and remain ever hopeful that I will join you some year!
