<li>I'm finally caught up! It feels like I've been going nonstop for months, with househunting, moving, making a new wardrobe, meeting my guildies, getting the house together for Christmas, hosting for my husband's family, meeting end-of-the-year deadlines,...then nothing! I want to get the house not just presentable but cute and comfortable and get a demo out for my game. </li>
<li>For New Year's Eve, we watched an anime stream with guildies. When the neighbors started shooting fireworks, I asked my husband to go on a walk together around the lake. We went to the bridge, which was a little sentimental since one of the first New Years I celebrated was in RuneScape on the Keldagrim bridge with some random passerby. At least, it was nice until my husband spotted an alligator. It was just his head sticking out of the water, gliding along beside us. When we spotted him, he dived. It was pretty freaky. Judging from the size of his head, he was twice my size. A handler at an alligator reserve told me they are usually pretty slow on land (especially during winter), so I took my bet with running the entire way back to my neighborhood. Looking it up online, though, it says they can easily outrun a human. Aaaahhhhhhhhhhh! <li>

<li>A week later, everyone in my family and my husband's family tested positive for COVID except for us. I feel so bad. We've been using COVID fear as an excuse to avoid family gatherings, but they heard none of it this year. There are vulnerable people on both sides and not everyone's vaccinated. My family thinks they caught it from work, and his side thinks they caught it from traveling. Everyone came down with it at the same time after the get-together, though, so...it was our get-together, wasn't it? Dang. </li>
