It has been a hot minute since I have written anything. The truth is, it has been a hot minute since we’ve taken any day trips. Yet, I am determined to change that during this bright new year.

If you follow this blog, you know that last year my position was eliminated after a 25 year career. I found something new, rather quickly, thank goodness but starting from scratch at the bottom left me with no free time to roam. Add Covid, leaving us all quarantined at home most of the year, traveling just wasn’t all that appealing. I mean the fun of a day trip is to experience all that the local scene has to offer and with businesses and restaurants shut down or only able to offer to go, it left me a bit disinterested. Also, my husband and I purchased a new home and a new business (Funflicks.com/Columbia), which meant much of our time was spent moving, getting our previous home ready to go on the market (it sold in 5-days btw. Whoop Whoop, West Columbia is a great place to live follow #peggymetzerealestateagent to find out) and making our new home our own. We honestly didn’t mind spending time at home this year. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that we also were diagnosed and survived COVID and when I say survived, I mean y’all, that virus is no joke and it almost took me OUT. I was no good for at least 4-weeks and it took another 4 to begin to get my energy level back. Anyhoo, Cheers to a new year and hitting the road, hopefully soon for safe roaming around our State and fingers crossed also yours.

Wear those masks, get those vaccines as soon as you are able to and let’s get this year rolling.
