The wife and kid seem to have handled it all in stride, but I knew it’d be a harder adjustment for me. I’ve had ups and downs, but settled into a good grove by October or so. Then the holidays hit and I started feeling some homesickness again. Currently weathering that a bit, hoping it’ll fade once we’re into the new year.

So I guess to sum up, 2024 was a big blur I’m still processing and recovering from.

I was way more in my head than other years which is not common for me. Im more of a action guy and this year i spent a lot of time thinking about stuff. The first 6-8 months were also very hard work wise.

Travels were awesome, had an great time in Colombia and went back to Paris and Cannes, met the great Wease and family, saw art, music and drank great wine and ate great food. Spent time with my sis in the south, and a lot of time with my folks in my city.

I guess i finish it way better that i started it.

Traveled a lot. Europe was the highlight.

Leveled up my in-home coffee setup, and started treating myself with quality beans.

My wife and I started going to Pilates back in June, and it has been life-changing. So much so that we’re going to start going to two classes a week.

I read a little more than in 2023, and started adhering to a bedtime routine that ending with reading in bed.

a lot to look forward to in 2025.

Traveled a bit. Met VG in Europe. Got to hang with Dad and Mrs Dad in Chicago where we all met Chris. Saw PJ a couple of times. Saw Warren Haynes.

For the most part family is healthy. I’m the only one lacking in that dept.

2025 will be dedicated to healthier living. And more traveling. And seeing PJ. And hanging with Dad and Mrs Dad.

Various health issues slowed me down.

Got laid off, but then got rehired so I got a nice paid vacation out of it. Had to move again. Hate my job and wish I'd just stayed fired. Trying to get laid off again. Nice apartment though.

My dog is ancient and it's becoming difficult to leave my house for more than a couple hours because of him, but the fucker refuses to die and will probably last another year.

Movies sucked. Video games sucked. Art sucked.

Books in third printing, which is good I guess. But I'm not getting rich.

Final grade: C-
