How's your 2020?

[raindancer]

I feel fatigued, deep within, into my toes.
I think I ignored the toll stress and insomnia takes on me. Since I never stopped working, honestly I think I've been running on adrenaline for months.
I've lost some friends. I've worried a lot. More than my usual neurotic tendencies warrant, I must admit.
I tend to stay to myself so the lack of social gatherings and finding projects at home don't bother me as much as social animals. I do think my choice of isolation, in general, is probably a sign of issues I really should address.
I don't know why I am rambling.

Is rainfall next?




Well, it is here. A regular Her-icane...

2020 has been exhausting to the core.

Lockdown Number 2 is so much harder than lockdown number one. It feels like it is has been going on for a thousand days though it, of course, has not. The children are feeling it now as well, and that is perhaps one of the most challenging aspects of it all. I haven’t seen my father since it began, and he is hanging on to life by a thread. I feel like I may not ever actually get to see him again because the borders look to not be opening to us again for some time. That is just too much to think about.

I am grateful to have a job I love, and to be loved, and a roof over my head but it’s been a tough year that started with the fires and has not let up since and I really just miss my family and want to see my Dad before he dies.

The same with my Mom. Handling all her things and herself, with phone calls is difficult. Not sure if or when I will see her because of the border restrictions.

Pretty good for me, although 2019 was the worst ever so that might have some bearing.

Working in a different building with different folks and I much prefer it. Completely re vamping the old homestead which has been really enjoyable.

The only blot on the landscape is not being able to visit my mum properly in the nursing home. She had a bad fall the other week and was rushed into hospital and I wasn't allowed to go. That was shit, but she's okay thank god.

That's horrendous.

Profitable. Less competition as people avoid working with clinics and as people do not work to get that sweet government unemployment.

Turning a blind eye to health regulations seems to have worked out well for you. Will this be the year you finally earn a 5 figure income? You came sooooo close last year at $9,800....this might be the year you go "over the top"!!

On the bright side, no pandemic pounds on this old fat guy. Only pre-pandemic pounds.

Me too! I lost a few.

lucky you. I put on 15 pounds during the first two months of the Trump virus when my gym closed. (switching to a "comfort food" diet of 80% carbs didn't help either).

Gym has re-opened again, got my diet back on track and lost 12 of those pounds gained.

Twelve pounds of liposuction will make a lot of soap!

Compared to other years of heartache and loss, this one thankfully does not measure up. I miss seeing my family, especially my younger sister. I miss travel, too. But, those are very small issues compared to what so many are going through. It breaks my heart to see my country so split and filled with hate and finger pointing. I pray daily for peaceful solutions to racial injustice and police brutality. I struggle to find where to plug myself in that will help to make the biggest impact in helping to change our current situation.

My personal life this year has been the best one I’ve ever experienced. It’s nice to do life married. I was missing that link. I feel unbelievably blessed and don’t take a single day for granted.

Being married is nice.

I'm glad you are experiencing that.

Not lucky at all. I put 360 miles and 27,000 feet of climbing on my bicycles this last month. That's been typical of the summer. With that, there's no issue having a beer after riding. Now that the weather's turning to shit, I'll prolly hit the hiking trails. Crappy weather keeps most of the humans away.
