Being rather lazy on a Saturday, snuggling with the puppy, watching The Nanny, and finagling with my new/old computer (a log story for another time)…and realized it’s been a rather long time since I posted anything here…

It’s been an interesting six months since my last last post:

• Turned in my notice to my new-ish position (the one I left my old position for, I lasted just ten months; there is a gigantic backstory there…
• Celebrated my Grandma’s 100th birthday (that women’s memory is truly impressive, she was regaling all of us with stories from her early childhood)
• Started a new position with a consulting firm (I’ve been there for a little over a month and it’s been a fantastic experience thus far)
• Went on vacation to Michigan
• My partner tested positive for Covid-19…and thus we spent a week and a half isolating at home, wearing masks as often as able
• Started with a new client and an a truly massive amount of computer issues (they ended up sending me a second computer, the Help Desk techs couldn’t even remote into the first one)

Of course, each of these could be their own post / entry / page…and perhaps they will be some day…

Side-note: The Nanny was one of my favorite television shows as a child. In fact…and I might be dating myself here…but I would watch Fran in the afternoon whenever I stayed home sick from school. 😁

It’s still is one of my favorite shows. 😆

As my Partner hasn’t been feeling well, we didn’t do anything for New Year’s Eve…and that continued into the New Year. As such, we spent most of the day being couch potatoes and finally finished Only Murders in the Building.

I realize I’m wildly behind the times (the show debuted at the end of the summer and finished in the autumn) but good grief, this series was just absolutely amazing!! Each episode was a masterpiece (especially the one featuring a deaf character) and I was guessing up until the very end. I give it five out of five stars. 😃

Well, it had to happen…we had to loose just one more person in 2021…goodbye Betty, thank you for being a friend.

Instead of going out to a party, risking Covid and drunk drivers, we just stayed home, watching Betty’s various television shows…at least the ones I had access to view:

• The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970)
• Mama’s Family (1983)
• The Golden Girls (1985)
• Maybe This Time (1995)
• Hot in Cleveland (2010)

She was the last Golden Girl standing…and the world is going to miss her. I’m going to miss her.

Russell is keeping me company on this chilly Sunday evening. 🐕📷

Watching / listening to As Time Goes By while wrapping gifts. 🎄🎁

All good things must come to an end…and thus, I’ve just turned in my two weeks' notice to my current employer. I’ve grown so much as both a person and a developer…and I’ve met some incredible people but it’s time to move on. It’s a rather bittersweet feeling, leaving a place where you’ve spent so much time and energy but as I said, all good things must come to an end.

It’s rather surreal to think about but tomorrow is officially ten years with my Partner.
