I'm just bitching and moaning, please feel free to skip.
For pretty much all of my adult life, the weekend before Thanksgiving has been spent with my father and various other male members of my family going out into the woods on our family's property to hunt deer. Since Dad passed last year, I don't know now if that will ever happen again. Honestly, I enjoy the hunt but it's the time spent in nature, and time spent with him, that I miss the most. Hell, half the time I "hunted" with a camera instead of a rifle, and still enjoyed myself fully.
This year, the weekend was spent working to restore a crashed computer system. And I mean "crashed" as in the hard drive went belly up and had to be replaced, and I've been digging to try and find programs and documents that in some cases look to've only been on that system. 8-(
Add in the current political and public health issues, and the fact that one of those near and dear to my heart just found out they probably got exposed last week... and yeah, I really wish I had the old version of this weekend back again!
But it doesn't work that way, so... shut up and soldier, soldier.
However, the weekend was certainly not all "gloom and doom" -- I got to spend it with my favorite person in the whole world! :-)
