#LevelUp2020 Check-In

2020 has been the weirdest, but I'm not mad. Work was crazy at first but once we found a doable rhythm good things happened.

I found a safe well-lit place to take my kids fishing at night because lol@sun damage. I learned I actually do like fishing minus roasting. Dad can keep the day shift for that particular activity! It was the only thing both kids liked to do with everything closed so I have a freezer full of trout. Turns out the best bait for them this year was indeed canned corn like a friendly old timer advised.

We moved here almost one year ago exactly, I looked up local plants because I'd been wanting to rip out the flowerbeds and replace everything. Learned about local soil amendments while I was at it and fixed them up. I finally have my own Black Magic hollyhocks growing! And the sitting area of the backyard is full of jasmine, white double knockout roses, daisies, a gazebo with clematis all over it and tiny fairy lights everywhere. I also put in a drip sprinkler system myself. It's my favorite nighttime spot! I also put in a few Maple trees and learned how to trim an Oak tree. There's more to do but it's a very good start.

I've read a ton of books I've been meaning to just for the fun of it. What even is a Goodreads account? I know now and love it!

I did Khan Academy SAT math studying with my nieces and nephews 😂 It was the price for backyard pool entrance this summer. Things got competitive, I learned lol. My oldest niece is doing wizardry instead of math though I'm pretty sure!

I installed a new doorbell and patio light fixtures for the first time. Next is new bathroom lights!

I learned how to do polygel nails at home. I have a family Covid salon (non) business now rofl. I watched hours of nail tutorials on youtube and it went very well! I also watched a lot of hair trimming videos and got legit scissors for it. That went well but I'm very glad salons are open again because I was too scared to do more than barely a dusting of ends.

In doing PE at home with kids I've got new personal best records on pull ups, wall sits, and sprints. I REALLY hate pull ups, but I like knowing I can do them so I keep the hate part to myself...in front of my kids.

Most of my stuff are things I just didn't have time for before Covid. My husband has been a very good enabler of my interests by doing the distance learning IT stuff and lunch ladying for our kids more often than not. He set up their zoom meetings calenders and reminders, bookmarked all the sites they need, and most importantly tied every piece of technology to their Microsoft accounts with a ban on anything not laptops during school hours. So far so good! Also being strict about not being piggish which is huge when kids are around 24/7. I don't have to be the only one reminding them when they "forget" to wipe a counter off or how to put a dish in the dishwasher.

This year has been terrible. I lost my mother and father-in-law, both within a month of each other. My mother-in-law died of heart failure and my father-in-law of a brain aneurysm. Just devastating. Then I caught Covid-19 at the funeral and it took me two months to recover. Lost my lovely ex boss to oral cancer. Due to the global pandemic they made her self isolate for two weeks before starting radiotherapy. She did start radiotherapy but didn't react well and due to the delay in treatment, she died. She was only 46, left behind her partner and two teenage daughters.

I've been quite unwell with my two autoimmune disorders. Hospital twice with chest pain and now it looks like I've got another, possible rheumatoid arthritis but I'm having blood tests next week. Despite it all, I remain optimistic. I still want to be a doctor, I've got finances in place for a degree. I've just got to get my health under control. I'm no contact with my toxic parents and that's helping with my healing. I'm doing my best to support my OH with his grief over losing his parents. What a wild year.
