At the beginning of the year, I decided to do one of those "write down all the good things that happen this year" tasks as a way to combat negativity. Not sure 2020 was the best year to choose to do that, but I did. Since it's New Year's Eve, I went through the list tonight.
Jan 1: Resurrected dinosaur PJs from pattern that didn't turn out so great
Jan 11: Pad thai with Stephanie, soooo tasty
Jan ?: An in-joke between Melissa and John about poop that I'm not putting on the internet.
Jan 17: Dinner with cousins and then 6th row at Jim Gaffigan!
Jan 25: Watched Duran Duran There's Something You Should Know with Karen & Stephanie. Lots of pics I hadn't seen before and good commentary from the band.
Mar 5: Karen's birthday lunch at Deluxe with Steph. She wore a tiara and we all had clams. Last friend outing before pandemic hit.
May 2: John's Covid test is negative, phew!
May 27: John finally got his MRI
June 5: Replaced the timer on the dryer with minimal help from John. Go Melissa!
Aug 5: Grumpy Cat masks arrived!
Aug 7: Was supposed to be in Sunny Corner but had to postpone. Instead took Jenn with me down to visit T-L at the lake. Beautiful hot afternoon. Homemade chocolate ice cream. Blueberry pie delivered to T-L's dad.
Aug 19-21: After having to postpone, finally got to visit Stephanie in Sunny Corner. Delicious Estey's. Steph found the corningware teapot for her mom while we were antiquing. Karen found a Duran Duran 12" vinyl. I bought Tupperware at the market again (surprise). Did some grave hunting also. No tromping around in the woods b/c Karen was still getting over a concussion. Very windy Cunard takeout at Middle Island.
Aug 21: Found a gravestone in Blackville for a lady in WA state. Her 2x great grandmother. She was really happy to have the picture.
Oct 25: Stephanie brought me still-warm bagels and a purple-cat-Halloween blanket!
Dec 4: John walking without his cane for most of the day, yay!
Dec 4: A bountiful day! Went uptown to pick up metal nose pieces for masks from Kelly. Karen H came by to drop off my dishcloth yarn from our Knit Picks order. While I was uptown, Dre dropped off 4 skeins of yarn for the Hiberknitalong! T-L showed up to pick up dishcloths and gave me a gift of a "F*** 2020" dishcloth and a "Back the f*** away" mask. Loved it!
Dec 7: Passed the Azure Fundamentals certification!
Dec 7: Mindy called and said she'd arranged to have us plowed out this winter so John can focus on healing.
Dec 22: Finally got the Calais stuff I ordered in March!
Dec 23: Surprise homemade challah from Candace!
