2021....so far, it's gonna be a better year than last. At least it seems so at this point.  Ader has set up meetings with a company who will enrich Jack's life.  At least we hope that'll be the case.  

So many things to talk about. I studied for and took the California Notary exam in Redding,CA.  What a joke.  I studied for days and hours and more than likely failed.  The questions on the exam were NOT the questions on the pre-exam that I studied for days!  Very disappointing! 

Since moving here, I have become friends with a couple people through the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary.  I enjoy doing lunch and wine tasting and stuff with them but miss being a docent at the zoo.  It's March 2021, a fucking YEAR after the pandemic began and we're still basically in lockdown in the world but hoping to be able to tour school kids through the zoo again soon.  The best exercise I'd had in a long, long, ever-so-long time! During the lockdown I have gained somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-20 lbs....UGH

Also made a great friend in Matty, my gay neighbor with whom I bike on a week-endly basis.  He's a real case.  Lives with his partner who was married to a woman and has 3 kids.  One of those kids, a 17 year old, lives with Matty and his partner. He used to visit them every-other weekend instead of living with them, but threatened to kill his mother so she decided he should live with the dad....likely to save her life.

I'm hangin' in through another few months of not being able to travel.  Hoping Bergy and I will be able to fly to Iowa for the family reunion in July, then return to go to Jordan and Ras' wedding 2 weeks later.  Out trip to Europe may not happen even though it isn't until November as Italy and that whole area is back to lockdown.  UGH.  Just want this whole pandemic to be over.  Guess I'll go have a banana and peanut butter or an orange or something and watch TV.  Have to be up really early tomorrow to go to Clear Choice and finally have my teeth cleaned!
