Some year thoughts on 2021

I hope you all had the best Christmas you could have but as we've had a bunch of post around other topics I do rather think we need to take advantage of this pause to talk around other aspects of my life

One reason this blog continues to exist is the need to have a space for more middle or even grown up things at times having deliberated at times the need to keep it going with having the littles one.

Being me means I am more of adult child in most respects having many of interests of a girl still and much of the mental outlook so that means people look out for me in the wider community which with the pandemic  has been a godsend.

The year has been very much the year of the virus from us feeling towards the end of twenty twenty that the worst of it was with those of us who had been more or less shielding coming out of the woodwork as I visited Sandbach a few  times before we went back into reverse.

It is kind of hard to underestimate how it feels to be think you can be out more, even perhaps staying with friends only to have it dashed in the new year but that's how it was with the Delta variant.

We were fortunate to get away to the Lake District towards the end of the year just to recover mentally from the last nineteen and a bit months, playing games and enjoying the open views and fresh air.

 Christmas here is very much a repeat of how things were cos I haven't change any so a staple is annuals connected to comics so we have this years Beano Annual which my of caught up with the Spotty as Scotty renaming in the Bash Street Kids or not but will have the two new classmates in.

We don't have a Dandy no more outside of the Summer Special but we do have an all new annual to look forward to.

Recently there has been themed compilations of classic cartoon strips from the Dandy and Beano from the past and this years looks at stories featuring characters doing art and drawing within the comic.

An aspect of my life is I need to be looked after a bit, my short term memory is shocking, my physical disabilities are such that I need help with stuff like getting dressed and cooking so finding ways of doing that that don't take away my own sense of being independent matter so as much as some posts in the blog look more around some of my behavioural traits and how they're being corrected, there is a good  deal more around me and that's what I'm trying to put over in this blog.

Fundamentally I am good girl who needs help to make the most of my potential,encouraged to look out being engaged with life but is chastised when I need to be taught a lesson.
