I don't know what to say about life lately. It's been okay, despite my mobility issues.
✨ I just turned 35! Celebrated with family since we couldn't go out of town in my condition. Normally we would be in Tagaytay or Baguio, just my husband and I, of course Koomi. It's been a while since I celebrated my actual birth date with my parents. I've missed them. My mom who's still regaining her strength from heart surgery was able to carry down the stairs so we were able to eat together in the dining area. It's the first time in months we got to dine properly. Ever since her surgery we've been eating in the bedroom instead which can be uncomfortable. But hey it has AC! 😄
✨ I recently got a recognition from my manager for my automation efforts. It came in the form of points which is redeemable in this rewards hub that we have. It's the biggest I got so far. It converts to 8,000 Sodexo credits that I will gladly spend this season! Yay! 🥰
✨ I finished two books this November. The Kite Runner and A Man Called Ove. They were both very good reads and easily became my favorite. Then I started Blood Meridian upon my husband's recommendation. Not a tenth in and I found it difficult so read so I had to park it. The words just flow very slowly in my head, and I can only read it in silence, with a fully focused brain. The introduction has compared his style to Faulkner's. And as I read an excerpt from one of his classics, I have to agree.
✨ Might go with A Thousand Splendid Suns.
✨ I have so many things to do at work and my priority is still improving the AI capability of our Power BI dashboard. My manager was going to present this feature two weeks ago but the meeting got moved to a month later so now I have to really focus on it this week because I need to show something by Monday next. Whew.
