@morrick >> This fucking 2021 has been much worse than 2020, much worse than pandemics and lockdowns. My stress levels have reached an unprecedented high, and I just fucking hope 2022 is going to give me a deserved break.
@morrick >> Thankfully the neighbours are friends of the family and will keep an eye on it from their house, and my mum's carer still has the keys to the house and we agreed that she'll keep going there every now & then to check it. >>
@morrick >> Once I've paid the inheritance tax, I'll inherit what essentially is already mine (being the sole heir): my parents' house. Which I'm now constantly worried about because it's there, all alone, in the Italian countryside. >>
@morrick >> Then, once I returned home in Spain, work pretty literally submerged me. I've had time to update my blog only once, with a few thoughts on sideloading: http://morrick.me/archives/9456
Now I have to save funds to pay the inheritance tax. >>
So yeah, very quick recap about my latest hiatus. On 29 October, my mum passed away. Most of November was spent in Italy, grieving and taking care of all the bureaucracy related to the passing of a parent. On top of the pain, the financial hæmorrhage. >>
@morrick I'm hanging there and I don't even know how. I guess having someone by your side helps a lot in keeping you sane. Anyway, I don't want to bore anyone with my troubles, and I hope you all are alright. :-)
Thought I would pop my head in and give a friendly wave to everybody. Long time no see, etc.! This 2021 has been hectic, with touches of that bad busy-ness that feels very close to burnout. And these past weeks have been terrible. I'm hanging there.
Apologies for neglecting this space and you folks. I've been more than busy — submerged. I've been more than submerged — drowning. As a consequence, what little leisure time I've had, I tried spending it away from screens.
