Overdue Update Part 2 August 2021

 So i left off in December of 2020, the world in a complete new world compared to the Last December pre Covid.

Our family life was hard due to so many emotions,  the Mrs, her Siblings, our children and even the side effects i would hit me in so many ways.

Yes our lifestyle pretty well stopped when Covid hit. But that I'm sure hit many, some I'm sure ramped up but many of us it went stagnant. So have a close death would only make it more. And to be truthful really not the most important thing at that moment. 

January was dealing with emotions as my wife was now dealing with "the Will" and estate. It was a daily struggle for the Mrs, but I listened and tried my best to be supportive with out over stepping a boundary. 

Then February came and it was a continuation emptied some of the contents of the mother in laws condo. To paint and tidy up so we could put it on the market. Then "BANG" one of the close brother in-laws passes away, another hit to the family.

None of the deaths were due to Covid but due to age and health issues,  just so you all know.

So this was so hard on our family as they were still emotional about their grandmother.  Now loosing a close Uncle just wasn't fair to them, sure it hit me hard as well. But i grew up almost in a funeral homes as a child. But this was all fresh wounds that hadn't yet healed for them.

And i being in a new job and position with more on my shoulders. It was tough on us, but all i could do was be positive and be supportive to her / them.

Will continue later.

Overdue update Aug. 2021

 So let's start off with the start of the Pandemic, for all of us this really changed most of our lives from personal to financial and daily jobs.

So as most in Ontario Canada, were we live march was the day we were sent home because of the situation in the world. At first it was fantastic as my wife ended up working from home and never missed a day so a steady income was still flowing for us. I know this was not the case for many and i know this was rough for you, I'm sorry!

This for me was a opportunity to get some work done around the home we wanted to do for the last 5 years. Also got to wake up and have coffee and breakfast with the Mrs everyday. Now not the main issue but our sex life and lifestyle flatlined. Sure it was partly the unknown future and oh did i mention 2 of  our 3 children were not living with us 24/7.

So as you can guess no private time for adult play, no place to disappear or go to, so it was great family time focus which we both love. Then came September. 

So my job called me and wanted me to come in an talk, as i was there for over 20 years. The meeting was about as we were part of the tourism industry and it was looking like it was not going to be bouncing back anytime soon they wanted to place me in another part of the company as not to loose me.

But it ended i was offered a great new opportunity with better pay and challenges, so i quit and was a great decision for sure.

Then December came and changed our family/home life for ever. Early in that month the Mrs. got word her mom passed away peacefully but suddenly one morning! And was not expected as she was supposed to be released that week. So that ruined the upcoming Christmas a bit, but we (our household only) managed to due a tribute as we all talked about some of our past favorite memories of her.

Dont want to make this super long so will continue it later.
