Reactions: lee
Rocked: been offered a job

Sucked: stupid covid shutting down youngest son's class for a week so all my Netflix dreams have been shattered.
 
Rocked
  • Kids back at school and after 1 day of tears they are loving it again and its good to see them get some normality back in their lives. My youngest has spent over 1/3 of her life in lockdown so far and nice for her to get out.
  • Managed to fit in a little gaming time and made some progress on Valheim.
  • Nicer weather is around the corner and looking forward to spring and finally getting my garden sorted.
  • Seem to have fixed some crashes I was having on my desktop.
Sucked
  • Still a way to go before life gets anywhere close to 'normal'.
  • Going to have to spend a lot of money this year to get work done in and around the house.
  • Also need some new tires for my car.
  • Staff returning to office at work... I was enjoying working alone.
 
Rocked: no 'rona in this house so far - many tears during the testing but Josh did well

Sucked: ever since I had the vaccine, I've not been 100%. Hoping for less symptoms with the second dose
 
Rocked
  • Finding lots of music to listen to lately that I havent heard in ages after we took the plunge and purchased Spotify Duo.
  • Good to see some discussions happening on the boards and excited to see what happens here in the future.
  • Game Pass has been adding some really good games lately.
Sucked
  • Most of the really good Game Pass games arent available on PC version of Game Pass... we pay the same price... :mad:
  • For the first time since I was around 5 years old there is only 1 gaming console in my house (Nintendo Switch). In the last few months I have sold 2 Xbox Ones, my PS4, my N64, a PSP & my Sega Mega Drive Classic. Doesnt feel right to have that empty space under the TV...
  • Quite a few friends have been told they might be losing their jobs soon thanks to the pandemic (not at my workplace).

I'm consistently profitable with my trades. I've made 4000$ this week. Better than any savings account I'm putting my money to work.
Bought a bench and weights, a bike and ordered a 3080 10G graphics card. So my home life is serene.
Going to the lake with my bud and we're going to be kayaking for the weekends.
Started a youtube channel with no views really but a fun vlog to make.

Sucked

Left 7000$ on the table with my last trade have to remember to tie in my trades.
Back at my mothers house after selling my condo.
Inflation is skyrocketing and we are entering a world shortage of commodities.

Rocked:

  • Youngest son enjoyed his birthday yesterday to the point where he broke character and actually hugged me of his own accord

  • This was meant to be the summer we got our garden fully renovated finally but for many reasons this hasnt quite happened for us again.
  • My wifi has been having issues for months and doesnt seem to be getting any better on some devices.
 
Rocked:
  • Kid has started going to nursery. Two “settling-in sessions” this week and then next week she begins properly.

  • Finally going to get some real respite after riding solo for nearly 3 years with aforementioned kid hanging off me 24/7.
