to properly answer the thread's question, though...
for me it's...mixed. the year started off pretty strong. i was just getting settled in to my awesome new job, which was a massive upgrade on every level from the previous one. i was also getting settled in to my new big tiddy goth gf
the madre was set to take a long vacation in the old country, which meant i could actually spend some intimate time with said big tiddy goth gf.
but then of course the pandemic hit, and pretty much everything went to shit. work put me "on call" and while as far as i know i'm still employed with the company, they haven't called me back in almost 3 months (and no, it's not just due to the rona. that would be uncontroversial, but there's a LOT of weird shit going on behind the scenes). the gf doesn't want to hang out cause she's worried about both infecting herself and her immunocompromised dad. the madre is stuck outside the u.s. for the time being cause international flights have been stopped and to make matters worse, she's planning on bringing my idiot brother with her.
my hand injury that i had for almost two years, by far and away the biggest single problem in my life, seemed to have gotten worse. and to top it all off, e3 was cancelled.
and yet...
..despite all that, somehow it's also probably the happiest i've been in a long time. i got a coristone shot in may and that somehow improved the pain to the lowest it's been since i've had the injury. dealing with the pandemic made me once again appreciate the smaller things in life, stuff that i had lost interest in over the years. i started getting back into video games, and i started catching up once again on many childhood series that i loved, like hercules: the legendary journeys, xena, community justice league, and avatar: TLA to name a few. i've had a wave of nostalgia come over me that i haven't felt in god knows how long. due to my injury, i kind of closed myself off from the world cause i just didn't want to deal with anyone. but now that i'm feeling better (though not cured, just yet), i've been trying to reconnect with close friends and family. ironically, despite being locked in, i'm more open now than i've been in years.
and now that i have some (forced) time off, i decided to buy a new computer so i can get back into video editing so that i can start to focus on my true passion again, and really utilize that history degree that's kinda just been gathering dust.
also, while i'm not working, money isn't a problem thankfully, both because i have quite a bit saved up and i'm getting unemployment. i'm pretty lucky in that regard, so hopefully once this is over my job will call me again. whether they do or not, i'm going to start applying for jobs more in line with what i want to do.
oh also, i had tendonitis in both of my wrists for like the past 3 years, and i've slowly been trying to do physical therapy and the right one is actually doing pretty fucking great, so that's another body part that's getting better.
