Just thankful to have anything at all in my life at this point.
Good-
Covid forced my job to be 90% work from home, I love that.
Been saving up for over a year to get a new engine; finally did.
Let go of my childhood Pokemon cards and made a fortune, yay
I lived another year, that's a good thing as well.
Had enough savings from past decade to handle everything that came my way without incurring debt
Bad-
This year was terribly political; people need to calm down.

Good to hear parts of this, but the thing with your wife - SHIT - that sucks mousse. Hope things are better for her.
Personally, things are stable. I retired from a 35 year career of university teaching and research at the end of August. Before I managed that we went to an on-line only instruction format in March. I had sworn I'd never do that, but ... it was what it was. Since the lockdowns it's been an exercise in marking time. That's not all bad - Lots of time to read. "Time enough at last" as Rod Serling might have said.
Whenever somebody became impatient when I was a kid one of my grandfather's favorite comeback was "hell, son. You can hold a bottlecap over a wildcat's ass that long." Ohhhkaayyy Gramps enough already.
