And 2020 is done—I can’t even whoop, it’s mostly just a long sigh of relief. December was incredibly busy with year-end fundraising at work and then we were unexpectedly given an extra week off in the last two weeks! So, like the rest of the last nine months being stuck at home, time continued to fly by for me!
It was a quiet month for the most part since we didn’t travel to see family, but we had plenty of Zoom and Google Meetups to see everyone and for the most part it was fun and hilariously entertaining. My birthday passed without much fuss, but a deliciously wonderful cake (see end of post) and we had a quiet Christmas just the two of us. We went to see Zoo Lights at Stone Zoo the day after Christmas and were disappointed (photo above). Franklin Park Zoo does it so much better, so we’ll stick with that one in the future.
Sometimes you just have to eat your own words. I really don’t like reading self-published works. In general, they are not edited (structurally, thematically, copy) appropriately, but then I stumble across a self-published book, like this one, and I am pleasantly surprised.
I would say I don’t know how I only read three books this month, but honestly I’m SURPRISED I read even that many, so yeah. May was an incredibly busy and hectic month, but there were also a few moments of pure relaxation.
