This pandemic man.

I got emotional moving tables out of storage back into the shop.

Im gonna miss Rudy.

Always sat at the same table. The nicest older man I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. Gone.

I miss the 2020 NWC/DORDT graduating class. I wish we had a chance to celebrate the end of your under grad.

I missed getting to know the freshman class this last year. I hope we can hang out this next year.

I have employees graduating and I barely got to see them this last year. And I’m fucking pissed about it bc I love them a great deal and they bring me joy.

I’ve missed seeing new babies and grieving with dear friends.

And I just can’t fucking believe that we can be vaccinated and hug and cheers our beers and laugh loudly without masks so I can see your big ass stupid faces and feel full of life.

We have a lot of healing to do. And I’m here for it.

So many people lost so much more than I ever could imagine this past year. I’m just processing my own shit.
