I’m planning to spend less time on social media in the next couple of weeks to avoid panic spiraling about the election, so I decided to revive my blog so that I still have somewhere to ramble on the internet. Apparently it’s been nearly 6 years since I last wrote over here. The last 6 years have been, uh, eventful.
In approximately chronological order, here is just a small selection of what has happened during that time:
- Had kid 1 (who just turned 5!!)
- Bought a house
- Red, my cat since college, died
- The 2016 presidential election, uh, situation
- Got a second dog
- Had kid #2 (who is now 2.5)
- My mom died (approximately 6 weeks after kid #2 was born)
- Burned out on managing, moved to an individual contributor role and a new company
- Covid-19 pandemic
We also travelled a number of fantastic places, ate and cooked a lot of great food, had lots of good times with friends, and a lot more I’m not remembering.
