Goodbye 2020!

 I saw a cute meme on Facebook this morning.

For the first time ever,

at 12:01 tonight,

hindsight really WILL be 2020!

Hahaha.

And I'm sort of sad/happy to see it go.

Said goodbye to lots of things this year.

Andy.

Teaching in person.

Worshiping in person.

My VW.

But said hello to lots of new things this year too!

I've learned that learning new stuff is fun!

Teaching on Zoom.

(Coming to you LIVE from the Zoom Room!)

Creating effective power point presentations!

(They don't HAVE to be boring!)

Gardening.

I learned to drive a dump truck!

And actually DUMP the dirt!

(Scary and exhilarating all at the same time!)

I rescued and hand fed a baby bunny!

(And yes, he's still with us, I've tried to let

him loose, but he freaks out... and just wants

to get back into his house.)

Rod learned how to color my hair!

(It turned out really nice!)

I had a "little" skin cancer removed.

Guess I'm a "real" Floridian now...

Being organized is easier than I thought!

And kind of fun!

Just this week I learned how to install

a second monitor and how to put my

presentation on it so I can keep an

eye on my participants and the chat

box all while being able to write on my

presentation screen!

Love my screen saver! LOL

(And it makes sending my follow-up emails

SO much easier since I can have my 

student list open on one screen and my

email program open on the other...)

This morning I learned how to fix my printer!

And I made bagels!

With Everything Bagel topping!

KETO bagels!

With NO nut flour!

I've learned to COOK!

Who knew!!!

I can use a pressure cooker!

Yes, I now have EVERY kitchen gadget known to man.

Jim and Sabrina gave me a set of

electric salt and pepper mills!

They even have a LIGHT!

In case you need to season something in the dark.

Or you need a flashlight and don't mind leaving

a trail to follow on your way back.

(Hello Hansel and Gretel!)

And an air fryer.

But those are things I learned in 2019.

And maybe 2018.

I'm just getting better.

And more confident.

I did lots of walking.

On the beach.

In the woods.

In the mountains.

And SO much more...

But this is beyond long.

So...

Good bye 2020.

Thanks.

For the good, the bad, the ugly.

It was an experience.
