Wow - I just realized I have not posted in nearly 2 years. Its no surprise, it coincided with some of the toughest times in my life. Two young kids during Covid is a nightmare. We did our best, broke down multiple times and did things I never thought I would resort to. The energy levels in the body have gone down and the demands for those energy levels have increased substantially.
Workwise things have been crazy and yet OK. My resume will say I had a great couple of years (promoted to Full Prof and other stuff) but the struggle will not be apparent. That's ok - I am fortunate!
Anyway - happy to be moving forward and hoping for a few easier years!
