And Now, an Announcement

Good morning, Readers!

"The flower that blooms in adversity is the most beautiful of them all." - Mulan's dad, I think. I adore this image so much, and want it for my wall. Found it on wallpaperaccess.com.

So... I am now officially unemployed.

Thanks, Covid-19, you stupid fucker.

I am extremely fortunate that I live in Canada, where the government appears to actually genuinely care about its citizens, and there is something of a windfall I can rely on for the next couple of months. I will be spending today trying to get that sorted so I don't end up homeless or starving.

I am also extremely fortunate that I have a wonderful support network of friends and family, who are able and willing to help out as they can.

I am in a much better place, despite this new hurdle, that many others, and my hardship is not that difficult in comparison.

It is true that I am quite sad about it, and not a little bit stressed, but I also know that I'm in a relatively good place, and that it could be so, so much worse.

Anyway, since I am out of work for the next little while, I decided to do something that might help all folks who are having a tough time at the moment. To that end, I have a small announcement:

The first will probably be some time this afternoon or early evening. Maybe. If I feel like it.

I hope you're all doing well. Hang it there. There will be an end to this madness. My heart is with you.

Ciao!
