Well, it was certainly better than 2020, but not by a whole lot.
Personally, I turned 50, and my single goal was to be in the best shape of my life. I kinda got there. I think I was actually in the *best* shape sometime around March, but essentially maintained it throughout the year. Professionally, work is as good as it's ever been - at least, with my current company (of four years). We added a second dog (again) at the end of the year.
Family wise, it's been a tough one for mrs.jingle - COVID shit, and arthritis seems to be creeping in on her. jingle.kids are at home full-time - jingle.son should be away at college, but has been 100% virtual since Sept '20. Both had summer jobs, so that was a positive. We did a handful of home improvements, and entertained the idea of doing a massive renovation (which we eventually scrapped, and will be doing a simple re-design/remodel of our main floor).
All in all, not bad, but could've been a lot better if not for COVID shit.
