This year’s had its ups and downs. We had some family health issues pop up again, and after avoiding it so long, got covid in October. On the other hand, I also got back to traveling for work with WordCamp US and a team meetup (neither responsible for the covid), and took my sabbatical. I haven’t thought about work (much) since October, which has been nice, I guess? I’ll have a post soon with my sabbatical recap, since I go back to work next week.

Going to repeat myself again this year, since I’ve seen plenty about covid spiking this season— please do your part to keep your community safe!
