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.

try not to think about it

focus on your family

and remember

your laptop is always your home

no matter what continent you view it in

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.

you are IRL friends with 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-

stay strong

the lord is with you
