Not much to report here really. Just navigating the winter and pandemic doldrums.<\/p>\n

I wish we would get some warmer weather. I miss (socially distanced) fire pitting with friends. I want to get out on some camping trips. I am tired of just sitting around the house worrying about finances and COVID-19. I want my county to get on a roll with the vaccinations so that I can get my shots (of course I am in the very last “everyone else” category).<\/p>\n

And, I am tired of feeling underappreciated. It’s making me bitter. I have felt bitter most of the day … for most of the last several days, to be honest. Sometimes it just feels like people are just paying a lot of lip service in regards to my abilities\/training. I am always getting duped into feeling the expectation that someone is going to put in a good word for me when they are not. And after months<\/u> of lip service, I am bitter. Honestly, I think I’d prefer to be treated with indifference. At least then I wouldn’t have these expectations that people are standing up for me or are advocating for me when they are not.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile … I finally got the two packages that the USPS has been holding hostage. Yay!
