Final post of the year

We've reached the end of 2021—FINALLY!!! 2020 was bad, 2021 was worse, and let's hope that 2022 won't be WORSER! It's time that all of the nonsense from the past two years is over and done with and it's time to move on to better things.

2021 ends in two days, so this will likely be my last post of the year. For the time being, I need to visit our local library to write posts. At some point, I'll have access to my own computer and be able to write at home once again. The details about this and a bunch of other things is a really Long story and I don't even want to get into it here. Think of how comfortable you'd be in a small car driving through a parking lot hitting all of the speed bumps at 60 mph. That's where I am right now.

I've given this post the title of "Final post of the year," but with a little luck, I might squeeze in one more. That depends on a bunch of things. Best to consider it the last one, though. I have quite a pile of things that need to be addressed before I can play around on my planet.

Sometime next week, I may write a bit about the nonsense I'm dealing with. Never did I think I'd be in this deep. It's going to take a lot of prayer and work to get out of this hole. Stay tuned.

Maybe 2022 will be better?

Since everything was shut down around March 2020 thanks to good ol' COVID-19, life has been, well, less than fun. That's about as nice as I'm going to get because otherwise some not-so-pleasant words just might appear here—the kind you hear a lot in R-rated movies and biker bars.

Back in 2020, everyone hoped that by the time 2021 came around, things would get back to normal. As we've seen, no such luck. In fact, during this year, at least two new variants of COVID-19 have shown up. First there was delta, and now omicron. The makers of at least one of the vaccines used for the booster shots claim that their vaccine covers those. We'll see, as my nephew and his girlfriend have been diagnosed with COVID-19. Wonderful news, huh?

In a little over a week, we'll be heading into a new year. We said the same thing a year ago and many thought that 2021 would see an end to the pandumbic (I can't help calling it that, in part to the appearance of the new variants and the fact that too many people still don't take this whole thing seriously—they don't wear face coverings or keep their hands clean, and think that they're somehow above catching any form of the virus).

Will 2022 keep the fun and games going? Only time will tell.
