That sux anxiousrock.
We'll get hit by many things as as we proceed through life, but we've got to cop to it, and find the means to cope with them sober. It's the best and only way.
When this virus has finally been defeated, and you find yourself standing sober, you will be so glad. Rejoicing.

I cant get crafts but I can get weed or liquor lol. Crazy.

It's frustrating as hell, and very bad timing to lay you all off so close to the holidays. 
I wouldn't feel bad about ordering crafts and books and such online. You need distractions, something to do, and if you can find stuff online, so much the better. 
PS, venting is a whole lot better than drinking.

I’m so sorry about your job, that is definitely very stressful. We are back in a stay at home order here as well. You should definitely think about ordering some craft supplies to keep your mind occupied. Are you able to get outdoors for a walk? We are still allowed outside for exercise, but we do not have a strict lockdown.
The vaccine is definitely encouraging, I am hopeful that in 2021 we will be able to get back to some sort of normalcy.
Sending lots of love your way!

Do you have to finish up the working week anxiousrock? If it helps you mentally, good one. If not, I wouldn't be bothered. I do have a good work ethic by the way, but being sacked right on Christmas doesn't engender any loyalty in me personally, unless of course you work in an necessary industry. Health, etc.
Hope you get a Christmas bonus.

Christmas bonus? I've been working for 65% of my wage, funded by the government for months. My company has no money
. Since the government won't extend the program they were using yo pay us, they just have no money to pay us so that is why I'm being laid off.

Sorry to hear about the job, Anxious. I am alone and unemployed myself for the duration of the pandemic too. Although, I was unemployed before the pandemic hit. Toronto is on full lockdown so the only thing I can do is get out and walk, grocery shop, get coffee. Otherwise, I am watching Netflix and arguing with random people on Reddit.

just crap here right now, I'm lonely and bored. I walked to the park the other day with a coffee and sat 10ft away from others in the sun, and it was almost like being with people! Probably the best day I've had in a while.

Sorry to hear about your situation, Anxiousrock. 2020 is going to go down in history as quite the year. For us, it'll be the year we got sober.
In times like these, I consider my crafts to be essential.

I'm really sorry to hear that hit you all at once anxiousrock. I had to quit my job back in June, first job I actually enjoyed too.
I keep trying to tell myself at least we're finally turning a corner. We have a vaccine that has already been tested and is being distributed. I don't think most people even know how incredible that is. Vaccine development usually takes anywhere from 10-15 years. We can see a finish line. In the meantime we just need to stay safe, stay inside, and stay sober.
