Finally saw dad again - life and home move progress update · 9:57pm Aug 11th, 2020
I cherish every moment I have with my dad. I went around home for the first time in maybe a month to see him. A certain someone wasn't happy about me being home, but she can frankly shove it. So I saw my dad and was chatting to him while he was working on the decking. As he would say, he's ''up Crappy Creek'' because of no work thanks to the virus, and his work van literally broke down when he was going to look for a job, and this was right when he had a bunch of work lined up, so that's slowed things down more for him.
We're both the same in we're not ones for sentiments being shared openly - we're a pair with discomfort in being open to feelings, if you know the type - but we sat and spoke for a while. Of course, today wasn't without its fluffy husky moments of getting rolled over onto my feet and begging for belly rubs and ear scratches, so it was nice seeing her again.
Good news, too - when I came inside, I noticed the extension was getting underway and all the brickwork is basically done. All we need is a roof and that should be it for the shell. I'm unsure of how big it's actually going to be once all my stuff is moved in there and we can all see it for the first time when it's almost done to get an idea. Hopefully, it won't be like it was when I moved back to my grandparent's house, which was very similar to living in a crowded storage locker.
So, all in all and despite the annoyingly hot temperatures, today was a nice day. Not great, but nice for the sake of being able to see and talk to my dad again. It sucks not being able to see each other as often. Where we'll be if things don't get better soon, who knows? We're likely on our way to another Depression Era. But we shouldn't dwell on that too much right now. Try and stay happy and positive however you can.
I'll still be floating around, waiting for the next meeting or another. I want to get out of here.
