Hello everybody, Millrat here. That could be a rabbit, but rats are cool too.
I re-read my past postings, and boy it's been a long few years since my Dec. 2020 post.
The Army unit my "burning man" son was going to be attached to before he caught fire and couldn't deploy, were ambushed and killed by a rebel group. He dodged a bullet in the most literal sense. I can't even begin to understand the karmic equation of it. He's now scheduled for Guam for the next 3 years. I think that is a bit safer duty station.
Mrs Millrat had her first haircut since the scary time. She has snow white Shirley Temple hair. It's beautiful. She's clear of cancer and absolutely full of piss and vinegar.
I'm still just Millrat and happy as hell things worked out. I worked 6 days a week all through the pandemic and we all made it through. I truly appreciate every kind response I received from this group, many of them brought me to tears.
So as we move towards a new year, let's forget about politics for a bit, and hold those close a bit closer, and make sure to tell them that you love them.
Merry Christmas to all, and may the next year bring the joy I have knowing we all made it through alive in the new year.
Keep making things,
Millrat
