,WHAT AN EXCEPTIONAL YEAR.
Exceptionally crazy, that is! For me a year of "yeah, everything's cancelled" wasn't so bad. Social distance was mere inconvenience, and actually gave me a good excuse to support my local Mossyrock businesses instead of the regular digs in Chehalis and Olympia. I think I can count on two hands the number of times I left the immediate area. We scarcely go on vacations, except for a clam dig whenever they're on. (Which reminds me...I feel like Fish and Wildlife owes me a refund on the licenses I bought but didn't use since they cancelled them all. Crud muffins. Consider it a donation for a good cause?) My beloved Tumwater Farmer's Market had to quit the season, which was disappointing and sad. All of my soap making and felting classes at the Eastside Urban Farm and Garden and the Capital Mall were cancelled. It forced me to stay home and focus on my very lame web presence and the multiple exercises in flexibility on the farm this year. I miss people and fun events, like everyone else. But I didn't hoard and never ran out of toilet paper, so I have both a clean conscience and butt. Hooray! lol This month our pastor is encouraging us to fast and pray for the next year. Here's a just a smakerel (who knew, that word is actually only a Pooh Bear thing.) of what I've praying for!
