So sorry to hear that mate.
It's a hard slug with the way things are in the "new world".
Going back 5 weeks i was on my first cruise with the wife...we were on vayager,returned 18th march.it started before all the carona shit went down,first 5 days were the best time in my life,then it all went to shit.
Spent the next 6 days floating around the ocean not knowing what was gonna happen.
When we finally got home ,it was 14 days self isolation which was all good and neither of us got sick(thank fuck).after that our jobs were uncertain but thanks to the jobkeeper payments we've both still got our jobs....not that there's much happening at work but I'm not complaining.
Then last friday after not hearing back from my best mate for a couple days i went round to check on him.i found him dead on the floor in his bedroom...genetic heart problem.
Then yesterday after his funeral(ripped me up) the mrs gets home and instead of a sympathetic hug and some console, she has a go at me about needing to stack some firewood because she's arranged another load today.
So to sum things up,everythings pretty fucked at the moment.
I'll be ok,never been a quitter but this last few weeks is certainly challenging me.
Stay safe everyone.

Just found out that a friend of my son commited suicide yesterday. She was 18.
So sad.
All I could say to him was, whatever is going on just speak to someone, anyone and tell your mates that too.

Just putting it out there.
I have really been struggling this year.
Some know most of my year but between isolation, especially from interstate friends and family we usually see every few months, a miscarriage early this year, making some poor job decisions(leaving stable employer to seek trade qualification and have had two untrustworthy employers since), ongoing house renovations and and overwhelming task list for it, going through three cars in 12 months due to serious mechanical failures, struggling to support a family and mortgage on an apprentice wage while being the rock of my family the last 8 months have taken their toll on me. Needless to say I have bitten off far more than I can chew.
I have recently started taking antidepressants, they are helping although they just dull emotions. Now finding it very hard to get excited about anything. I speak to friends and all my troubles but nothing compares to just catching up for a beer at the pub type thing.
2020 has been a shit year and hard on everyone. Hopefully 2021 bring a better year

Take care Nic, give Tegan and that beautiful baby of yours a big hug, it won’t fix everything but it will make you all feel better for it.
We’re looking ahead to 2021, 2020 is a write off for sure.
Cheers

Sorry to hear Nicko, yeah let's hope things turn around 2020 has certainly been a shit one. I think it's especially hard the way things have panned out in Vic it's certainly divided the nation, a bloke at work only just moved down this year from Queensland and stuck in lockdown in the cold and wet while mates in other states are somewhat at a norm. Should take pride in your place you've done an amazing job but know the feeling the list seems to be never ending and overwhelming but sure you'll make it amazing in no time. . .
