January Blues

Well, covid has certainly hit my family. My sister and her 2 year old and my brother's entire family are sick with it. That means that my mom and I are the only households to escape it, thus far. I'm just resigned to getting sick at this point. I got my vaccine booster shot a few weeks ago and wear a mask except for at work, where I pretty much stay in my office, but I don't think I can stop it. With the numbers as high as they are, I'm back to home church for awhile. I started working from home this week as soon as my family started getting sick. I'm going to the grocery store bright and early tomorrow morning to get some things for my brother and sister while they are stuck at home. It's all I can do. 

I'm tired, tired, tired of it. 

I don't actually have January blues, but I definitely have pandemic fatigue.

I've been reading some good books. So there is that. 

Welcome to 2022

Happy New Year, I guess. I didn’t do anything for new year’s and as an introvert I find that completely acceptable. Of course the news has been filled with dire covid warnings for parties and people are mad. I’m avoiding the news for another 2 days. I’d rather be home anyway.

This morning I’m feeling hopefully optimistic about the new year. Last night going to bed, I was not. I still feel like I desperately need something to look forward to this year. I don’t know what that will be yet, but I’m going to come up with something. 

I’m going to spend this day staying home and doing a few things around the house, maybe another puzzle. I can’t spend any money. My paycheck frequency is changing from weekly to bi-weekly and I don’t know how to handle it. LOL the money is the same but I have to change a little bit about the way I budget it for my bills. So I’m planning on building up a little bit extra in my checking account just in case. So no shopping for me. I don’t need groceries, gas, or anything else online or at a store. 

The sun is shining and the snow is bright white outside. Bring on 2022.
