Things are going okay thanks. The new job seems good. I've had training and have just had my first proper shift. It's still very much setting up but it seems good so far.
Thankfully ddog is fine with fireworks other than the huge sudden ones that also make me jump. Unfortunately my housemates dog can end up a jibbering wreck. He's no too bad inside with the tv up but if he happens to be outside it freaks him out for hours. Around here unfortunately people set off fireworks pretty randomly and constantly up until new year. It can be 2pm in the afternoon and one will go off so you can't really avoid going outside with them.
Hope you are all okay.
