All of this sucks. The food I'm eating is incredibly repetitive, I miss live poker, I miss going on vacations, I miss going to Las Vegas, I miss fast food and takeout, I miss seeing friends, and I miss the WSOP (even with the yearly Caesars fail).
What gets me through it is that I can see my parents (because I'm so careful), and I have my girlfriend and son with me the entire time (being alone would suck). Also, I remember two years ago when I was suffering through my severe anxiety/depression, which was 100x worse for me than this. Honestly, that was a miserable day-to-day experience. This isn't miserable for me personally, just frustrating and repetitive, and I feel very bad watching others die and suffer. I am thankful that I'm not experiencing financial problems like so many others right now, because that would be especially awful. I know that I am in a fortunate position here compared to most, and I appreciate that.
lol. I haven't been here since March but after reading your post why even be alive? What a worthless POS life.
I've done:
Several vacations this year
Been going to restaurants through the entire pandemic
Been to Disney World twice and going again next two weekends
Been to several resorts with OMG buffets!
Stayed at enough hotels to count on two hands
Played around 80 rounds of golf etc etc etc
And guess what?! I've never had the black plague that is corona virus. Do I wear a mask? Sure I do. I'm not an a hole. But I also realize if I do get this thing I have a 99.8% chance of not dying because for somebody of my age group and health it's the flu. My brother in law just got it. I played golf with him Sunday and he didn't feel well Sunday night so he got tested and came back positive. He's 53 and overweight. Says it feels like a cold except he has a metal taste in his mouth. I got tested yesterday. Negative. This isn't to say I won't get it but if I do I deal with it like I deal with the flu. Email I get from CDC after testing basically says if you test positive 99% have little to no symptoms blah blah blah.
Guess the media got to you dude. I'm embarrassed for you. I actually stopped listening to radio because I knew you would get all stupid over this thing and I guess I was right.
Happy Thanksgiving but get a fucking life I mean come on already.
