    I would say terrible, but I really like working from home, so that moved me up a notch.

    Bummer that some aspects of your 2020 were terrible.  :frowning:
    I hope your 2021 is much better!  :smile:


    Thanks! It's really a health issue that's made it terrible - I have pseudotumor cerebri syndrome. Over the past several months I've had to get multiple CTs, ER visits, a spinal tap, etc etc etc. Lots of time going to appointments in various hospitals with various specialists, and I am now on meds with terrible side effects, added to the symptoms of the syndrome itself. All done mainly to try and prevent permanent blindness. Add all the COVID stuff to that, living alone (as my cat died last year), not really being able to do much of anything ... It's been a really shitty year - one of the worst ever!! But you know, that's life. Some years are gonna suck. It is what it is!

    wow sorry Allison. Yeah that must have been really bad, hopefully it does get better. Are you gonna get another cat eventually?


    I struggle with that question everyday! My reasons for getting another cat and not getting another seem to be equally balanced, so I guess until the reason to get another one outweigh the reasons not to, I won't.... But that doesn't stop me from looking at cats up for adoption pretty much everyday. :lol: Resisting is made easier by the fact that there are hardly any cats available for adoption these days in my area. Everyone is adopting pets during COVID. This pandemic is probably the best thing to ever happen to pets, seriously!

    Oh no!  I'm so sorry to hear this.  I have occasional terrible bouts of migraine and vertigo but when I looked up pseudotumor cerebri syndrome, I said to myself "Stop whining, Lux!" 
    I hope you get some relief from this, Allison.  Big hugs.  :hug:
    Ha! Thanks Brian!
    We all have the right to whine about our physical woes to our hearts' content! ;)

    Great
    Well, the concerts I did see before the world shut down were amazing, I got engaged, got married,  went to Hawaii, work was easily managed, and moved to Atlanta. Probably the best year of my life all in all.

    I'm sorry to hear that AmentsChick.  Breaking up in never easy.  I hope your transition into your new life is good and 2021 is a better year for you!

    Sorry, I should have said it was a facetious eye roll!  Nothing but love and happy vibes for anyone who's found some light in the past year.
