What a year!

[normanaj]

2021 so far has outperformed 2020 in the crappiness category.I allowed WAY to much s**t to get to me and lashed out at way to many people so I took a little mental vacation and more or less got my s**t together.

Actually used the smoker for the first time for what seemed like an eternity yesterday.Did a whole chicken in the MES,came out pretty decent.

Time to get back into the swing of things and stop worrying about what I can't control.

You won't get any arguments from me!! There are those that say 2020 was the year from Hell. Now they are saying that 2021 was the year that Hell froze over. Look on the bright side (??). There are 10 months left for 2021 to beat 2020 for the worst year in history and we are off to a good start. Being the perpetual optimist, that also means that there are 10 months left for things to get better. I have my fingers crossed for the latter of the two scenarios. Glad though that you were able to take the time to mentally regroup.

Hang in there, sometimes it's not easy but somehow we get through our bad times.

Good on you , just try and let it ride for the things i have no control over, S##t does happen, we just have to figure out how to step over or through it.

Stay the course. I try to eliminate something every week that I cannot control that irritates me. I stopped watching the news, I stopped going on Facebook (except 1 time per day to vote for jcam222 ), etc. Eliminating these small things has helped my mental health a lot the last 2 months. I'm running out of things to eliminate, which means things must be improving, right? Glad you're on the right track.

Unfortunately the stupidity just continues for me.Been having some issues down below and went to the doctor and it looks like a hernia.Have an ultrasound tomorrow to find out how bad the tear is.I just went to back to work full-time and now this. What's next!

Its a hernia alright.Can't even see the surgeon for a consultation until April 28th!

Seven weeks I have to deal with this just to find out what will happen.Until then I HAVE to work,I've no choice.I work construction,how the hell am I supposed to do my job with this for the next seven weeks.

2020 was a cake walk compared to 2021.

Any chance you can find another surgeon?
