Atelier Log My husband and I began this year being so sure it was going to be “our year” — the one wherein things get better for us as a whole. And WOW is it setting out to prove us wrong so far.
This year has been the full force of the COVID-19 pandemic. I don’t mind the quarantine stuff and it really does not affect me personally (I like never leave the house as is), but I worry for everyone else out there, especially those close to me who are at risk. Not to mention the fact that my husband is an “essential worker” so he still has to go out basically every day. It’s been pretty stressful.
Not only that, but in February, our cat Sparky was diagnosed with lymphoma. A normally voracious eater, he stopped eating fairly suddenly, and after a battery of tests they determined that was why. We got him on chemo immediately and he’s now in complete remission(!!!!!!) so that is fantastic. He’s such a little champ <3 and I am so incredibly proud of him.
But boy howdy it sure did punch us in the face financially. I mean, Sparky is our baby and we will do anything for him, but it’s been rough.
Here’s hoping the year calms down soon, for everyone.
