What a wild year. If you asked me when I'd made some of these, I would have said '22 for sure.

Looking back, it seems obvious now that the last quarter of this year was a sort of recovery period from the start of the pandemic to when I quit in Feb last year. I guess you'd call it burnout, but it was hard to recognize from the inside. I had a lot of steam in spring and summer, then once the days started getting shorter I fell off pretty quickly. I spent half of December sick which is clearly a sign that my body wanted me to get some rest.

I got a lot more done than I thought, and am looking forward to some stability next year. Hope everyone has a good start to their 2024!
