2020 wrapup

How to describe 2020? To borrow a phrase from Judith Viorst, it was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year.

Highlights:

• A wonderful 2-week MSC cruise in the Caribbean
• A positive experience being a poll working in the 2020 general election
• Completion of shed construction (though some trim work remains)

Lowlights:

• Jett’s death
• The COVID-19 pandemic, punctuated by a positive COVID-19 test result at the end of the year, followed by a second negative result 10 days later, with a lot of stress and the loss of a joyful Christmas in between
• Many truck expenses, including several rounds of fuel line repairs and replacement of the turbocharger uppipes
• Many health problems for Jett, prior to her death, including several falls
• A very difficult TS6
• A joyless TN6, with an initial delay due to truck problems

I think we can all agree that the Lowlights outweigh the Highlights.

I will be happy to send 2020 on its way with a hearty “good riddance!”
