TL;DR: A personal retrospective of 2023 2023 was a rough year # I usually enjoy doing these yearly posts, looking back at what I did and planning what I’ll do, but 2023 was a rough year.

Almost four years ago, your mom and I left home and rushed to the maternity hospital to give birth to your brother. As I closed the door to our home, I told your mom with a huge smile that the next time we’d open the door we’d no longer be only the two of us.

TL;DR: A retrospective of 2021 2021 was a good year overall # Pandemic and lock-downs set aside, 2021 was a good year overall. I’ve really enjoyed my daytime job, my physical health was fine, my mental health was… meh… but ok, I guess.

TL;DR: - I took a break to deal with personal stuff - I'm taking a long break from OpenBSD for personal reasons - I may or may not have experienced COVID-19, who knows - resumed work on OpenSMTPD and other projects This is a weird report # This is a weird report.

TL;DR: Way too many things happened in a six months timeframe. This post won't need a TL;DR as I'll keep it short. Generalized anxiety disorder and alexithymia.

TL;DR: Came very close to a burn out late 2016, had to quit former employer. Started working at another company early 2017. Became a student again, currently halfway through second year in psychology.

YO! I know I should have posted a “Happy New Year” note earlier but you know how it is: new year eve’s aftermath, days to recover, work resumes, mood slacks, bleh.
