2020 has been an odd year for my and my little family.
COVID didn’t end up really affecting our area until later in the year, mostly impacted toilet paper for us and it was mostly from tourists. My work went remote fairly early and I used that time to get myself back into a standard rhythm for myself and the pups, with more walks! I made fitness and time with the pups my priority, besides work. My meal prepping Sundays got a tad out of hand, but was still happening. I felt good and in control…
But in August – We moved back to the New England area due to a variety of circumstances. I was able to keep my job and work remotely due to COVID. C managed to get a new job pretty quickly. We’re still trying to adjust to our new norm.
Admittedly, this year hasn’t gone as planned.
I had a lot of goals to get through and not many actually came to fruition. That’s ok!
It hard to look back and not be disappointed by the lack of progression, but in this case… we did a lot.
- We moved across the country with three dogs
- We had our first camping experience with the dogs. Susanoo stole C’s sleeping mat and made him sleep on the ground
- We had our first hotel experience with the dogs. Susanoo pooped throughout the entire hotel on our way out. Poor boy was a tad too scared of the new environment.
- The dogs got to experience their first really snowstorm with about 18 inches of snow
- C and I got to feel my great grandmother’s house settle about an inch and I got to see it scare our friends who were with us
- We got our first outside hiking gear so we could walk the dogs during winter
- C paid of some debt
- I paid off some debt
- We’re finally saving money!
It’s odd to see a year summarized into a few special moments or events, but I think its enough to feel good about for now.
Lets hope 2021 is kinder.
