I basically already did a 2020 recap of sorts, so I’m going to try my best not to be too reflective in this post, but…

Over the next couple of weeks I can only imagine that there will be a whole string of 2020 recap things. I did a recap last year because it seemed fitting. Not only was the decade ending, but I was coming to the close of my first year in New York. Now as year #2 comes to an end, I (like everyone else) am at a standstill. Everyone keeps talking about how shitty 2020 is and how we can’t wait for it to end, and while all of that is true, when the clock strikes midnight on the 31st… we’re going to be in the same exact position we are right now. Virus numbers climbing, lockdowns happening across the country, and no end in sight.

For the last 2 years my worst nightmare has been the same: what would I do if my ex tried to come after me?

It’s easy to recognize when you’re on an emotional rollercoaster, right? One minute you’re up and feeling great and then you fly towards the earth at record speeds only to be flung up again and maybe go upside down and around corners. It might be fun or terrifying, but it’s all something we can relate to.

About 6 months ago I had a wake-up call… or so I thought. I hadn’t been eating well at all, was sick all the time, and right after my birthday had a real health scare. I took that as a sign that I was supposed to make a change. I decided the best thing for me to do was go vegan. I knew I couldn’t have dairy anymore and I’d gone vegetarian in the past so I figured I’d give it a shot.

It’s hard to believe that just a week ago Magnus joined our little family. He’s so comfortable with me and Mojo now that you’d think he’d always been here. Seeing the two of them play as Magnus tests his limits just warms my heart so much. I barely have the words for it at all.
