Do y'all have any holiday plans?

Nope! Honestly, I don’t like school breaks. I’m always so bored with nothing to do…

Ahh...yeah I'm quite busy this year, but usually we just hang around.

We are going to drive through a local neighborhood that has lights every year 😁 Other than that, no. We tend to just stay home. We used to go to church on Christmas, but it's not safe for me and my family during the pandemic.

I feel so stressed right now.......😕 Probably from multiple things. My sister's bf has COVID (just found out yesterday, the 23rd), I lost a few pounds which is not good since I'm underweight, and it's been two years since my left arm/elbow decided not to straighten all the way (it still refuses to straighten to 180 degrees; it's at about 170-175 degrees right now [I think]). This means that my arm has 'lost' two years (meaning it's been bent for 2 years).

I'm hoping it'll straighten by next December. If it doesn't straighten then it's possible that it could stay bent perpetually unless surgery is done or I go back on chemotherapy (I don't have cancer, just to clarify) to lessen the inflammation. I haven't been to the doctor for it because my arm got stuck not long before COVID hit. I'd likely be considered high risk because of my medical history (I've reacted badly to both vaccines and viruses). Because of that, it isn't safe for me to go out in public often/ever right now, not even to the doctor. My left elbow basically has a joint contracture. For those who don't know what that means, here are two links explaining how it applies to my autoimmune disease:

https://wa.kaiserpermanente.org/kbase...
https://www.aboutkidshealth.ca/Articl....

Contractures are generally worse when someone is younger because their bones are still growing. Case in point, something similar has happened to me before. The bone on my right pinky finger is a little fat and looks a little deformed due to the bone growing over inflammation I had as a child. It makes my pinky look perpetually bent. It also makes my right hand look weird to me (see photos below).
Also, in other news, my sleep is messed up again, so there's that.......

'Normal' right hand

My right hand (notice how my pinky sticks out/P.I.P joint [middle knuckle] looks fat)
(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]
How my left arm looked in October (the little ball looking thing around my elbow is inflammation; also, yes, I do have thin arms for my age)
(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]


And yes, I know that this is normally something to mention to friends or family, but my family knows about it, and my only irl friend is my sister, who isn't awake right now. Otherwise, I don't have any friends irl because I don't physically go to a school, nor do I do online school. I'm not in any activities either.

Awwww I’m so sorry Lexi. I hope your elbow straightens again and all this Covid can go away so you can enjoy going out in public💕

Thanks, Kate! You're so sweet 💖😊 My mother predicts that it'll be a bit safer after March 2022. COVID is here to stay, but hopefully cases will go down, making infection less likely. I'll still have to be cautious though. Especially during flu season (November-March), but that's nothing new

True. But it's still 2021 where I'm at. 2022 is about 4 hours away for me

[Alexandria, The Third Book Nerd]

In order for all of the U.S. to be in 2022, it'll have to be 3AM MST, 2AM PST, 1AM AKST, or 5AM EST. Hawaii is the state behind everyone else. It's 5PM over there. They still have 7 hours 'til the new year.

[Alexandria, The Third Book Nerd]

Happy New Year!! Welcome 2022!!

[someoneforsure]

Happy new year !!
