What a great mix of good and bad 2021 was for me! I think I'll start my year's highlights by saying this ... I AM SO SO SO GRATEFUL THAT NOBODY IN MY FAMILY FELL SICK! We all survived the year without falling down with this evil Corona virus ruining the world and that actually is what matters the most! Truly grateful for it! The rest of the good and bad stuff was just part of life. The important bit is that I survived the year and that too with a smile on my face! I made some really precious memories that brought great joy to my heart. I think that's what's helped me fight off the bad stuff 2021 brought for me too! Take a look at my year 2021 in pictures!
Dad Settles In - Moved In At Last
This was actually the majority part of my year 2021. Settling him in with his many variations in diet and health habits! *laughs* To be honest, he still hasn't completely settled down and it's been an year!

Survived the Cicadapocalypse
It was bad. But not as bad as I'd expected seeing the news. Well, I think I should add that in my area and right outside my yard it wasn't that bad and since I refused to step out I didn't have to deal with the places where those monster bugs existed! THANK GOD! I survived the cicadapocalypse by shutting myself inside the house and stuffing my fingers in my ears to mute out their sounds!

Ceiling Leaks and Living Room Redecorating
Carpets were washed and all after the mouse was killed and removed from the house and of course the ceiling leak from the AC in the attic had to be repaired. So when so much work was being done around the house we decided to redecorate the living room too. The fireplace got polished, some paint retouched, the curtains changed, and new sofa arrangement. It was a much needed change!
Instagram Reel Goes Viral
I don't know if there has to be a certain definition for 'viral' but to me getting ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY ONE THOUSAND VIEWS, LIKES, AND COMMENTS is equal to viral!
