The only saving grace is it finally feels like a year de-coupled from the worst of COVID.
2019 was a unique independent year. 2020 was a unique year. 2021 felt blurred with 2020. 2022 is on its own.
I was afraid the entire decade would feel like a slow moving glob of waste.

Great.I came close to dying in 2021 from Covid-19. And I mean very close. Now I am back to normal and riding my bikes 10-25 miles a day weather permitting. Grilling food, watching movies, fishing, having lunch at the lake and a fantastic girlfriend. Life is good! 10-15 days before Covid was detected, were you a healthy individual? A normal healthy person or suffering from obesity? Also by bike you mean motorcycle or cycle? Congrats on getting out of covid thing. 2 of my healthy relatives in 30s died because of it. Yes I was very healthy. Had been riding my bikes everyday. (not motorcycle, peddle bikes) A poster on another board even said had I not been in good shape when I got it I would have probably died. Sorry about your relatives.

Yeah, your good physical condition and health would probably have played a major role in your survival from Covid.

The summer has been a real bust, all our plans went out the window because we've had to spend months waiting around on roofers to show up and actually get a job done after a hail storm totaled our roofs back in April, for 2 weeks we had all the shingles, nails, etc., sitting in our driveway where we do a lot of our recreational activities, between that, the heat, the humidity, our garden drying up and doing nothing, very little of it has gone as planned.

My brother passed away unexpectedly (heart attack). last spring. We were only siblings, so I'm left alone, as far as immediate family is concerned. I have a couple of "3rd cousins," who I only learned of, and met, about 5 years ago. They're very nice, and it's nice to know of a family tie.
On the UP side, I've been able to work in a little travel. The small group of us who have been eyeing Ireland/Scotland for some time, MAY get there in October. (fingers crossed)
This week my email was hacked. It happened just as I'm working on a huge project with former colleagues to find others, who worked with us over a 30 year span, to arrange a huge reunion.
So, 2022 =:
-- 1 devastating blow
-- Some fun, with hope for more
-- 1 DAMN IT!!

Terrible. I had to quit two jobs. My brother died. I really hope things don't go downhill more for me. I've just learned doesn't have throat cancer anymore, so things are on the upswing. I can totally relate to one of those things. And things are definitely not on the upswing for me. Let's just say one thing seems hopeful, and the other thing is uncertain, and everything else is kind of in suspended animation, even if they're moving along. So I'm with you.

It's passed very quickly no longer having to be a caregiver for my grandmother, I get more done every day than I've been able to in years, I'm still tired but not burnt out all the time. It just got to a point I dreaded going to sleep at night because I knew as soon as it was morning, had to do the same thing all over again. I have finally been able to tackle projects I have put off for YEARS because there was never time to do it or if I had the time I didn't have the energy or the interest. I'm starting to pick up where you left off.

It has been just over a year since my mother passed, and I am still trying to come to terms with that huge change. I was her caregiver for all the years after my father passed in 2004. I was working full time, commuting 3 hours a day, and attending to her needs (at first minimal) the rest of the time. My life, home, property, etc., was essentially on hold for all those years. The last two years were dealing with her being in a full care nursing home and having to liquidate things to pay for that. I am still tired from all of the stress.
The political situation in the US has not helped. And my Weltschmerz is at an all-time high.
I have had more time to spend in Nature, and with my companion animals, and that is an improvement, but I still feel ... unsettled, I guess would be the term. And still tired.

Shitty, but not as shitty as the preceding two or three years.
