Welcome 2022!

 ::tap, tap:: is this thing on??  Does it even work anymore??

Hello, hello everyone!  It's been a while.  I'm not sure if there is anyone left to read.  I've been reading and lurking.  A few people have stopped the blogging business and others I subscribed to have made their blogs private.  

2021 was an interesting one for sure.  But we did it, we made it!  

I don't really have a recap.  I didn't stick to my word of the year.  I don't think I will pick a word of the year for 2022, I will end up forgetting about it and be disappointed when I finally do remember it, because I didn't act upon it.  Maybe the world should just pick a word....like Kindness.  Everyone just be kind and nice to one another.

I did land my dream job.  Finally.  After a million years.  More on that later.

I had a corporate job for about 9 months full time and 3 months part time cause I couldn't abandon my coworker/friend.  It was sad that I got paid for three full days for Thanksgiving, even though I was part time for three months before that.  They averaged your number of hours worked that year and decided your pay.  After three months part time, I was still at an average of 42.5 hours per week.  So sad and not a brag.  I was not cut out for the corporate world.

I re-entered Grad School.  They changed the requirements and about half of my earned credit hours don't count for the degree, but they do count towards certifications, whatever that means.  I have to complete additional classes, which aren't difficult, it's just difficult to find time to get them completed.  (But time is being found to do so)

Someone dumped a cat in my woods.  He's now my cat and lives in my house (after all vet precautions, of course).  He's a 16 pound Tuxedo cat named Tux.  See what I did there?!?  :)  I'm up to three cats now and I'm not sad about it.

My car is paid off, guess I crossed that one of my things to do in 2021 list.  Yay?

Alli is doing a few dual credit courses and hopes to become a dental hygienist.  

Peyton is money savvy and enjoys making it.  He's a sophomore now.  

Tanner is working on obtaining his dream job.  Slowly, but surely, he will get there.

I quit one derby league and went back to my original league.  I am no longer in any leadership positions and I NEVER WANT TO BE AGAIN!  Skater only for me!

What's been going on in everyone else's world?
