2021 started pretty quiet.
Repetitive days were dreary with my own company.
Then, I got vaccinated and life became fast.
Trop vite !
Anxiety.
Insomnia.
Mania…
Scattered.
Chaotic.
Restless!
2021. Aging has been my nemesis.
Walk. Yoga. Walk. Yoga. Walk. Yoga.
Breathe!
I did some sewing, embroidery, junk journaling, and crafting.
I continued learning French.
I watched a lot of different comedy podcasts.
I watched an exorbitant amount of Nick Zentner geology lectures.
I listened to an unreasonable amount of Uada.
I got to travel again!
Mexico for my birthday.
Washington State to help my mom out.
Iceland for a music festival.
New York, New Jersey, Maine, and Massachusetts.
Waterfalls, beaches, museums, and volcanoes!
