Hello from my Friday half day. I am doing a hopefully final post office trip, a long walk, and some time cleaning up my digital footprint. Yesterday I cleaned out 2 of my 3 email inboxes. Yet to be completed is my picture clean-up. Last year I tried to delete the duplicates out of iphoto on my laptop, but it is a mountain I just can’t quite scale.

I went for a walk yesterday even though I was certain I was going to have a rest day. I could run today, but my body isn’t quite in the mood for that. And I haven’t decided on my walk location yet (story of my current life) but I did slowly figure out my meal options… In the past I’ve used my time off in December to try restaurants for lunch that I normally don’t attempt due to the crowds/popularity. However I have plenty of food in my fridge/freezer, so I’m saving the dining out option for next weekend.
I am in complete denial that this is the 3rd to last post of 2020. I have no idea what 2021 will bring, and I am thinking we will all be processing 2020 for quite a while, given that on January 1, 2021 all will be basically the same.
As 2020 wraps up and we enter another set of holidays where things are different, I am trying my best to remember what I have to be thankful for. I miss socializing. I have little to no desire to facetime socialize. And I know that my problems are small compared to others.
So I guess I’ll go for another walk, and soak up some of that Vitamin D and fresh air, and remember other times, and day dream of other things.
P.S. as I went to schedule, I realized that December 13 is Saint Lucia day, which I used to dress up for in elementary school, and again in high school when my choir director made me do it for a concert. But I’ve got this post all nicely written, and I’m not re-doing it. So light a candle, maybe eat a pastry, and know that eventually the days are going to be getting longer instead of shorter. Small victories.
A friend just dropped off a meal and gifts and mentioned St Lucia day – had not heard of it so I need to Google!
I miss socializing too. It’s a weird time to have a baby. Most people say they will drop something off but some have said ‘we can come in for a few minutes if you are comfortable with that’ and I feel like a jerk saying we can introduce through the storm door as we aren’t having anyone in our house for the first couple of months.
My husband says not to feel bad but he is not the people pleaser I am!! I am sure everyone understands though. Stupid Covid!
