You're still here!

A decade and a half later and you're all still here! That's amazing!

(You probably won't recognise me but I remember most of you.)

Wow!

 

I mean, I remember you having been here. Just don't quiz me on the details.

Anyway, welcome back!

 

We're not exactly "all" still here.

Welcome back though, whoever you are.

 

I feel so loved

 

Who's still kicking around?

 

That's it. You've basically seen everyone now.

 

Got married, have two kids, trying for a third, working through some stuff.

Yourself?

 

Dark Elf has also been working through some stuff. By which I mean working out some stuff. By which I mean working out.

 

Jazintha didn't say she was doing well, just that she got married and has two kids.

Personally I consider myself to be doing well precisely because I have managed to avoid a similar fate.

 

Well IS subjective, I guess. Alive is good right about now.

 

Indeed. In all seriousness, congrats on surviving the last year and a half. For someone like me - an introvert with a mostly online IT job - it was pretty easy. A lot of others found it rather more difficult, and I hope things pick up for all of those people now that the end appears to be in sight.

 

Mate, surviving covid-19 with two very small children was no easy feat, for my eldest especially. We needed to get out of the house and interact with other people for our sanity. I even became an official volunteer at playgroup just so we could connect with the playgroup leader face-to-face at least once a week. But being in Perth WA does make it a lot easier without the constant lockdowns.

 

Perth and Canberra have been very lucky overall with the covid situation. Mind you this situation with NSW is stressing the ACT out.

 

Because of my occupation, I was more or less sacrificed on the altar of keeping things going and caught ye olde cough early on. But I'm still here (sometimes), and well!

 

Wow. Jazintha. Long time no see. Good to see you back, alive, married and have some kids.

And I am still here....well not that often in these days. Mostly working in and around my new house now.

 

It's so odd trying to think of things to say in reply because of how much has happened in over a decade, so I do apologise for not answering each of you individually.
