Was it really that bad of a year? In 2019 you were in an Apartment, today, bitching about, (not really), no room in the garage for your car because of stuff. Today you were able to walk around you semi frozen yard and get some nice reflective on life picture, (I think that strawberry is still eatable).
Sitting on a balcony where you can see others sitting on a balcony, I guess could be nice, but sitting on a deck where you can watch leaves bud, grow, fall, or where you can watch smallsteps play in the dirt, or in her new house, was 2020 really that bad of a year?
Still I know what you mean, and 2021 may be a better year.
It is what the garage is full of that is the issue :D
2020 hasn't been a bad year for stuff - but it has been a hard year in many other ways, as that stuff has required financial obligations and the year went from promising to very difficult fast. The furlough from one job wasn't too long, but my own business is still suffering and at one point, was driven to near zero and I thought I would lose it completely. With all the other various concerns at the same time, it has been more difficult than a few other years, less difficult than a couple. We have managed through it so far though, so there is that :)
At the rate of dysfunction, I don't see 2021 being any better.
I don't know if the news story was real it was after all in the Daily Guardian or some name like that newspaper, that people were not going to be able to vacation in Australia in 2021, seems silly to me, but governments have gone bonkers this year.
