My grandmother mailed me a tree and Christmas stuff. It’s the most Charlie Brown thing that I could get and I don’t think she’ll ever know how much I appreciate it.

Your grandmother is awesome.
Sorry to hear things have not been the best for you mate. We’re all here if you need us!

I still have our "tree" from 2011. Why she didn't leave me back then, I'll never know.

She is.
And I’ll survive. Just doing a lot of overtime and a lot of work ahead of me. But at least I’m being recognized for it.

Yeah, I know things’ll be good eventually. Just a rough patch.

Sorry, man. Was wondering why you were so quiet.

Hang in there man! You're right, it is ok to be sad sometimes, and you will get through it.

I WANT YOU TO HAVE IT ALL.
/fun to play on guitar, too, just do upstrokes on D, Bm, G, and A in various combos

Yep.
On the plus side, pretty soon it’ll be time for the annual Christmas thread of sad things!

Also, as a question, what’s the new gig? Good to hear that you’re close to family.

I understand rough patches. I’m glad you have your grandma, and to a lesser extent, Oppo to remind you that you’re not alone. I’m leaning on the love of my family too.

Being 3000 kilometres from home and having nothing but work can make it hard. Coworkers are good, but I have no non-work friends. Oppo and the occasional thing from family really help.

That was some rough times but we pulled out of it. Good thing is the new job is downtown so I’m now shopping for a fun commuter.

If you ever would be interested in west coast care packs, let me know!

I went from commercial and residential lending to working for a company that provides services for the builders and developers.

That reminds me... we’ve got to decorate the pine tree in the driveway. Only problem is that it is a 100 and something fahrenwhatzits outside, the air is full of smoke and a dust storm is forecast.
But..... what the hell!

It'll get better. Trust me on this one. It will get better.

I'm about 4,500 km from family. Getting a doge would help, but not if you keep those hours

That tree is adorable.

I work, on average, 14 hours of overtime a week. Last week I had an eighteen hour day. I can’t do a dog right now. I’m considering a cat.

It only required a little bit of power drilling to put on a metal stand I found.

Thanks for the offer. I’d be up for a trip west, but it looks like it’s not happening until next fall.

I’m so sorry, I hope you feel better soon and things get going better. I like your tree!

By the way, I didn’t mean any thing with my strange reply in this post other than to try and make you smile. I’m sorry, I should have said so. :-)x
