Oh my goodness! We are only to January 13, 2021, and already I am done with this year! First, around noon on January 1st, our fairly new water pump went out and caused us to go without running water for almost 2 FULL weeks! I won't even go into what all that entailed in order to get by. I promise you don't want to know. Second, my last surviving grandmother passed away this week. I had not seen her in about 20 years, but I have very fond memories of summer visits with her and my grandfather. She was a good lady. She had promised to live to 100 and was only about 6 months short. Third, the cute adorable kitten we adopted had an intestinal disease we had to treat ( not fun). Fourth, D's cousin was hospitalized with sepsis and his fever has been so high they have been unable to amputate his leg. It doesn't look good for him. Fifth, our kitten now has ring worms ( have no idea how that happened since she doesn't go outside) so the treatment is a bath for 10 minutes with an antifungal shampoo. It turns out that our cute little 10 week old baby kitten can fight like a lioness when she thinks you're trying to drown her. We all are now sporting some nice deep scratches so bath time has officially been cancelled. I am not sure what we will do, but I know we won't be bathing her four times a week! Lastly, today (exactly 24 hours after our wonderful running water was restored) it turns out the toilet has a leak, which at best is replacing a gasket and at worst replacing the toilet. Both of which aren't too big of a deal, but just one more thing that has happened. I am kind of starting to get worried about what's next. In the grand scheme of things, nothing has been too bad yet, but we're only 2 weeks into the new year and so far last year was better.
I hope everyone else is having a better new year than we have so far!

| The kitten is determined Maisy will love her. She tries to curl up with her all the time. Maisy doesn't particularly care for the cuddling, but usually tolerates it. |
