2021

 It's been almost a year since the terror of Covid-19 swept the whole globe. Goodness, what a year 2020 was. I definitely went through a rollercoaster of emotions. The hope of getting off the rollercoaster as I said "Adieu" to 2020 was crushed and I am still on it wondering when it will end. 

First, I earnestly waited for the news of lock-down. When it was finally announced, I remember joyfully packing dirty clothes, toiletries, food that can go bad, and my laptop and rushing Nick to do the same so we can go up to my parents'. It felt like a long paid vacation; I get to see my parents, stay in their big house, eat mom's food, and hang out with my family while Nick studies for Step 1 and best of all, I get to see my nephews. The first 4-5 months were fun and Nick did so well on his exam. 

Then for a couple of months after that, I started getting a little bit bored so I decided to pack every weekend with hangouts with friends. Of course, my husband became very tired. This gave us an opportunity to communicate with each other more clearly and basically just be more understanding overall. 

Now it feels hopeless. 

I am eternally grateful for my unconditionally loving and patient husband whom I don't deserve at all. 

I think that's what carries me on.
