Watched Godzilla Minus One and the message of "duty" and "is your war over now?" hit home.
Overall it was much better than I expected but I like the Japanese way of story telling.

Afterwards I walked with my friend to his house to check up on his cat and record some cat videos for my brother.

After the first "haha" he broke the news that one of his best friends who just turned 35 offed himself. 

My first thought process went
-> my bro used to be suicidal I need to use my 2 weeks of vacation not to play videogames but to fly to Canada ASAP
-> who will look after my parents if I'm there I need to organize quick
-> I still have some loose ends at work that need fixing

But it turns out my brother was sad but just had a drink with a friend of his, the family doesn't want to organize a funeral so he's working on a memorial service, perhaps in Amsterdam so more people can easily fly there. So after the bad news and good memories we switched to movies and what we've been up to.

As for work. I've covered for 2 people for 3 weeks on top of doing the job that would usually require 3 or 4 people anyway. I've sorted out everything that depends on me. My biggest project ever launches April 29th. If the owner has taken no steps to replace me in my absence that's his problem and will probably be a permanent problem for him in the not-to-distant future anyway.

It started raining, slowly and I didn't feel sad or defeated but rather like Batman.

So my first goal is to buy Donkey Kong Bananza as that got pushed aside when I went back to the trenches. On tuesday it's lunch with the business guy to catch up and discuss my consultancy business as he has been in that line of work for at least a decade. On Wednesday it's Chinese with my parents on friday the Peaky Blinders movie.

Just like the guy in the movie, my "war" is over too.
