Everything IS hard right now. But you've already proven you can do hard things. Good luck in the job search. Something good is out there.

The work sounds even worse than the tooth. I hope there's a way to fix that problem too. Hang in there.

As you describe your SIL to others, maybe you should start with "he's the kindest kid I've ever met"?

Congratulations on the new degree. I remember when you started it and felt maybe you couldn't do it. But you just put your head down and did the work - and now you're done! I'm sure it will be a net-positive for your life - regardless of what happens with work.

Your 2-mile plan sounds great. Set yourself up for success.

Best to your friend. She is lucky to have you. (And you, her, I imagine).

Celebrate the coming day. Not always an easy thing to do, but I plan to try.

Maybe the scooping will be the worst part of 2021 and you've already gotten it out of the way.

Congratulations - on the baby, the move and making it up that hill! Sounds like you're making great progress!

Such a good dad.

Sounds fun. In a hellish kind of way.

Your letter is beautiful. ❤️

Glad you had fun. No place we'd rather be.

Enjoy your time in Denver. (Sorry to say it's going to be 98 here on the weekend - run early!)

No caffeine, no alcohol, no strenuous exercise … that sounds pretty grim to me. I'm sorry you're going through this, but appreciate your sharing your experience. All the best to you and please keep us posted.
