I am a little late to the post, but to answer your first question.
Am I alright?: All things considered, I am arguably the healthiest I have ever been, But man I tell you, it has BEEN a long year.
My Fiancee and I moved out to New England last year to chase our dreams, and we have learned a lot since being out here! just the day to day stress of the economy and the world, I cant speak for her, but I have been really feeling it.
Lost my job, I am just thankful I have a supporting partner and some money put away for instances like this; plus that gives us time to work on getting some badges, so silver lining I suppose! Just generally stressed about the job market, and anxious for winter to be over and for us to go out and get our hands dirty!
