Sounds like despite the COVID, that things seem to be going pretty well for you BL, good to hear, I hope things continue this way for you mate.
Completely understand that strange feeling re things being so different from a year ago. This time last year my STBXW and I were looking for houses to buy (we bought in March). I vividly remember being in a furniture store looking for a new couch with her and (then) S3 in May last year. Strange to think given where I am now.
Keep moving forward BL, those feelings will subside and hopefully you'll think of them less and less as time passes.
