Lockdown/Covid Check In

@r-l I really feel for them eh, having to be careful and struggling back those tears while being chauffeured home to eat their chef cooked lunch. Must be tough.
-
@bones you actually believe any of that has been used in context? I don't at all. It was probably from during the first lock down when everyone, pretty much everyone, would have been on the verge of tears most days. It's being used now for the sake of a story, for reactions just like yours...

@r-l you're welcome

Well us Wellington folks are getting a wee shake with the latest covid case. Have already heard from some of my team who are a bit anxious, and my MIL was also pretty nervous about what might happen. Hopefully people pull finger and get back to scanning.

Never coming home again anyway.

We got too fucking complacent. I'm enjoying the opportunity to expand my personal space though to what I consider comfort levels.

3 kms works for me. I tried to enforce it as "social distancing" but apparently it was a bit much. I have a couple of people allowed inside that, the rest of you can fuck off and stay on the internet. That's close enough.

3kms is my upper limit for calling in airstrikes. Although a hellfire can usually be deployed on the paint at 4+ Kms but it's hard to actually confirm ID of the target once it hits.

Collateral damage.

So hows everyone doing in this fucked up world?
I realise that I sit here in NZ, where we continue to stumble along seemingly largely unaffected by Covid, but jeez I am fucking over it all!
I talk to people in the US and UK know that most people in NZ simply have no idea how bad it is in some places.
Some days I think it'd almost be better for NZ to be just getting on and dealing with Covid in our community than live in the constant fear our freedom could be snatched away and peoples livelihoods destroyed.
But jeez, plenty of days at present I honestly cant be arsed, have zero enthusiasm for things.
I will add before anyone thinks the worst, there is zero chance of me doing anything to myself.
I barely watch the news anymore, I browse headlines and might click some, but so sick of covid, crime, climate change, politics and general negativity
Add in that my kids are at fucking awkward ages at present, and thier BS infects me too, my solace is Mrs TR and the gym!
I make sure I give Mrs TR time, talk to her, love her and be upbeat for her, I love the gym too, smashing tin and pushing myself and always feel great after!
My worry though, is if I am feeling down at times through this BS, knowing it is largely pretty good here, how the fuck are all these other poor souls with money or health issues or family issues or marriage issues or just really struggling dealing with it all, I guess plenty arent, plenty wont and this will linger on for plenty for years to come.
This isnt a cry for help or anything, just venting, and making sure people know it is ok to vent and they need to talk!

@taniwharugby "But jeez, plenty of days at present I honestly cant be arsed, have zero enthusiasm for things."
Totally identify with this! Even though we can still exercise outdoors here, it's bloody hard to get motivated. Wake up everyday to groundhog day, it's hard to haul myself out of bed.
As you say though, there are so many people doing it infinity time more tough than me. The whole construction industry is shut here, that's tradies, labourers, all getting no income. Businesses collapsing with folk losing their savings. And all the while asset prices inflate at record rates making the rich richer.
I can't believe we are here again, I remember sitting in Queenstown in April 2020 thinking "should all be sweet by June". What a muppet I was!

I don't even wanna know what their initiation practices are.

While I was cut off from the world the other week, and feeling very relaxed, I made a conscious decision
I am now all about letting shit go. I was wasting far too much energy being angry at shit that I had zero control over. No one was affected but me. So what's the point?
I'm barely looking at the news. And even if I did, it is just to read, I am not reacting. It's the other stuff that is harder, not getting upset by traffic, shit like that. And yelling at the kids less.
Covid is fucked. Governments are fucked. But they don't care about me so I don't care about them.
Embrace the peace bros
