It has been a long time since I was on here. There were a couple reasons actually. I think the first was that I was really hurt and insulted by a member who doesn't really know me and then accused me of something that if I did, I did not realize it until I was told. My mind reading skills are lacking and so I had no idea that I had upset this guy. When I tried to explain, he just shut me down.
I had a lot of trouble with my concussion. It was well into November before I actually felt ok. It was weird that one day I just woke up and I knew it was gone. Craziest thing ever but the therapy really helped. So I was in PT a couple times a week which also ate into my available time.
I don't know about you, but as the election drew near, I was really having anxiety issues in fact just typing about it now I can feel the anxiety building. I was not sure what I was going to do if things did not change. With Covid I was scared of going out (except the drugstore and grocery store) and instead of reaching out I just went into hiding. I am happy to say that I have been able to cut back my anxiety medicine quite a bit since the election. I also feel safer in my country again than I had.
Somewhere around the beginning of December, I considered what it would be like to live in a smaller house with one floor living. I found a place that looked interesting on Zillow and decided I would go see it. I met my real estate agent there. The house was AWFUL. She started to send me other homes and I began to look a bit. In the middle of the second week I came across this house that was stunning and dare I say nearly perfect. That was a Weds. Friday night I put a bid in and Saturday night I owned the house. I began moving Dec. 18th. I continued to move until January One. It has only been a few weeks that I have finally felt settled and not like I was house sitting for someone. I will say that I have always wanted to live near water and I have a really nice creek/stream several hundred feet from my property line. At night you can hear the rushing of the water!
Finally, as those of you who have read my blog know, I am very active in the color guard world. I decided since I had never in my life performed with a color guard as a member, I was knocking that off the bucket list. We are a small, but competitive group in what is called World Class. We are by no means truly world class, more like Open class, but the members ages put us into World Class. I had no idea what it was like. It has been a truly wonderful learning experience for me. It generally takes me several days to recover from one five hour rehearsal. People my age should probably not be doing this, but I am and I am going to finish the season. If my body holds out I will probably do it next season too.
So now you know where I have been and what I have been up to. Needless to say there are calluses on my left hand from all the jerking off I have had to do since Covid. I am guessing there are many of you out there in the same boat as I am. Hopefully before too long now, we will be able to resume at least some of our extracurricular activities!
Cheers to all of you and if you made it this far - my sincere thanks!!
