Wow…can’t believe it’s been over a month since I posted anything on my thread. A short update is in order.
First and foremost… HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! As we have had three to four feet of snow in the last week, I’ve been pretty much stuck at home. Got out on Wednesday to do a bit of grocery shopping but that’s about it. Just spending time at home with my kids and my sister and her hubby. We did some baking today and made a bunch of appies for dinner and had family movie night. It was a nice and relaxing evening.
My Disneyland surprise went over really well with my kids and both are pretty excited to go. We were supposed to leave a week from Sunday but have had to postpone it due to our government’s travel advisory against non-essential travel. Part of me wanted to go anyway but with this new variant and the crazy weather, it’s probably not a bad thing to plan the trip for later on in the year. My kids were fine with the postponement. If the travel advisory lifts and the borders remain open, we will probably be going at the end of February.
My sister and I did manage to get away for our weekend getaway to Washington. As we were gone for less than 72 hours and driving across the border, we didn’t have to take any CV19 tests. The PCR test for coming into Canada was reinstated shortly after we got back. At $250 a test, you can bet we won’t be going back anytime soon. Just not worth it for a short trip across the line.
Not much going on these days with me and dating. I haven’t seen D since we went for that walk. I continue to hear from him almost every day…random texts and pictures. I honestly think he likes me but it doesn’t seem like he is looking to date anyone. He just has a lot on his plate with his mom and his brother and his son who takes up a lot of his time for an 18 year-old. And he has some health issues going on that I think he is really worried about. I convinced him to go to the hospital because he isn’t sleeping much due to this pain in his back and side. He is supposed to be getting an MRI but with Covid still going on, it may be awhile before he actually gets to go. So he has a lot to sort out and I think if I were in his position, I wouldn’t be too eager to start anything with anyone either. I’m not too bothered by it. Always happy to have another friend and if that is all we are meant to be, that’s okay with me.
Still have an active profile on a couple of dating sites but I haven’t talked to anyone or even swiped right on anyone for at least a couple months now. With the state of the world these days, I just don’t have any energy for it right now. Maybe in the spring, I will give it another try but for now, I’m just happy spending time with my family and friends.
Time for me to get some sleep. Hope 2022 is a better year than 2021 for all of us. (((HUGS))) to all.
