just posting a short thing to bump off the previous journal. I`ve not experienced any work stoppage from the viral pandemic. I have been fortunate so far not to get it *knocks on wood*I assume wearing masks,not going out in big gatherings, getting a shot (J&J) and a booster (Pfizer ) helped .Regardless,I`m hoping 2022 turns out better soon. I have a big debt ending in March and then I can start making plans about moving (I`d like to buy a house but with the exploding market here I think I`ll have to rent.but no matter what I`m tired of apartments and hope to get out of this one.It`s feet away from a major street so I constantly hear traffic >;p I also want to take a few trips if the virus can stay semi under control eventually here in 2022.I`d like to visit a friend in the midwest for several days,go to anthrocon and visit family in Pittsburgh,and maybe take a 3 week trip to visit a friend in norway (I took a trip to see different ones in Finland in 2018) and see my friends in the uK as well,maybe swing by Germany and see a fox friend for a few days too.
