We have not had much snowfall in the recent years so I was so looking forward to this storm. Half of me was excited for the snow and the other half of me was anxious about the cleanup.
As it turns out, we got around 2 inches of mixed rain/slush/snow and since it was wet slush, we skipped the snow blower and shoveled everything by hand. We got up (relatively) early on Sunday morning so that we can clean up our driveway & sidewalks before we leave for Swe-cha's swimming lessons.
2023 was a literal roller coaster.
Work: Started the year with a new manager at work which made me look forward to positive changes. Things were still toxic at first but slowly improved. By July, I was no longer the single person on call 24/7. Got promoted twice within several months. I am happy now.
Family: Got to have a full vacation in California with my entire side of the family in June and also enjoyed Ahya & Family's visit to NJ in August.
Health: Was normal most of the year but did visit the urgent care a lot towards the last quarter. Went for the first time in September for respiratory issues, followed by shoulder tendinitis in November (also follow ups with the orthopedic doctor).
Swe-cha took his turn for the flu days 12/22, followed by me on 12/28 and lastly, the husband on 12/31. I am not sad to see the end of 2023 at all.
Here's to hoping and praying that 2024 will be a fruitful and healthy year!
