I was laid off for 2 months the first of the year. Since I had been having foot trouble I celebrated my relaxing days eating ice cream. I fixed some good meals and baked way too many desserts.
I had been sick at the first of the year and the doctor wasn't sure what it was. In hindsight, I have wondered it it was Covid because I had a lot of the symptons and it took me two weeks to shake it. I was on steroids for awhile and spent a couple of scary weeks with my BP at 147-155 over 88 - 95. But I read up on blood pressure and started drinking lots of water, walking, and listening to music. I even went to an animal shelter and took an adorable lovable kitten into the "visitation" room and played with her for an hour. Two weeks of my own treatment and I got my blood pressure back to my pretty regular rate.
Did some crafts for Valentine's and painted a baby blue beach designed box into something for my steampunk room. I was going to make the little bookmarks but never did remember to. I think I will try some this week.
Did some antiquing and found the thumbprint dish I had been looking for for 3 years. I got it for just $10.00. And I did a lot of reading. This was one of my favorites. It was over 400 pages long and I started it one day and finished it the next morning.
Wanted a little black bird for my steam punk room. Found a white one so I painted him black.
On March 3rd, I got called back to work. One week later, I got laid off because Covid-19 became a reality.
I did survive the great toilet paper shortage of 2020.
All in all, the first quarter of the years was good.
