Not My Year

 I usually have a pretty good year in even numbered years.  

2020 hasn't been that year for me.

In April, I had to replace my AC unit - didn't like the price, but glad I did it, because this has been Arizona's hottest summer ever!! 

Then a new roof - Another costly home improvement

Along comes COVID-19 and the world feels lopsided.  We're out of toilet paper, paper towels and cleaning supplies.  Stores are shopped heavily, people seem to be hoarding everything from frozen foods to canned goods.  Four months later and there are still things that aren't available.

Summer heat keeps us indoors, and I spent my spare time sewing masks because we're all required to wear them in all public places.  Then my sewing machine quit.  And I love my very old Kenmore!  To repair or not to repair ? 

My sister lost her battle with pancreatic cancer.

Then my fridge quits - another $1200 spent, and a day waiting for delivery. 

Today was my annual physical.  Getting old means things don't work as well as they used to.  My blood pressure has been slowly rising over the last five years and today was "the talk" about starting to take blood pressure meds.  And a referral to see a cardiologist.  

I'm afraid to see what the rest of the year brings!!!!

And SO ready for it all to be over .... 

This has not been my year.
