Good to see you posting again. Glad you were able to do some work on your house. Sorry to hear about your dog. Hopefully you can find a part time job. A 20 hour per week job would be a lot less draining than 40 hours. And certainly no night shifts like before at the food factory.

My year has gone by quickly as well. A lot of unexpected stuff has happened. So most of my time and energy has gone into putting out fires.
