It's been a long time since I made any new posts, so I guess it's time for a quick update.

Since 2014, I've lost weight (and gained it all back later...), been treated for thyroid cancer, gotten pregnant, lost my mother-in-law to cancer, had a baby, found out that being a parent is WAY harder than I ever imagined but also wonderful, and have stayed at the same job this entire time (I believe this is my 12th year there).
