2022... So Far...

Well, it's about 20 minutes into the New Year here & so far, it doesn't feel too different. At least it doesn't feel any worse!!

Long-Suffering Partner & I spent the evening together alone, as our NYE gathering with friends was cancelled due to - well, you know... our prospective hosts were close-contacted & also spent the night with each other & no one else... as they will the next 7 days or so. Our negative thoughts are with them. I mean, we hope they're negative, not positive!!

Happy New Year to you, on whichever continent you inhabit, as it rolls over... May things be incrementally better

The New Year Five

By spacefem...

1) What was the biggest thing that happened to you in 2021?
Reasonably explosively walked out on a job, after being personally abused & already being something of a physical wreck. While working for myself has its own worries & the money hasn't been as good as I was led to expect, we've managed to get through the year pretty well, without starving or falling behind in any bills - not being able to go anywhere significant for a holiday probably helped that too...

2) Where was the most exciting place you went?
Our only little trip away this year was to a small, off-grid cabin in the west of New South Wales, for a few nights of not quite camping, not quite motelling either. Nice to see I still know how to make a fire without it turning into a bushfire & that I can cook on it as well !!

3) Who helped you the most this year?
Long-Suffering Partner without a doubt... gave me permission to leave a job that was killing me by degrees & has supported me (almost) unquestioningly as I've found my new feet

4) What's your favourite new thing you bought?
A tie between the new work car... & last year's Christmas present that turned up this year

5) What was your most memorable entry?
For me, it was the edited & photo-annotated diary of our USA roadtrip in 2012 that I finally got 'round to posting. Not sure how many others enjoyed it, but it was memorable for me...
