Week 8: Going Home

in Weeknotes

The great thing about the weeknote format is that you can make your note as long or short as you want. I’m keeping it short today, with just a few important life updates.

2018 has been a tough year for me. My mental health is at an all-time low, so I’ve decided to take a long break from work and go live with my family in Delhi for a while. I’m planning to spend a lot of time cooking, reading, and playing games on my Switch.

By this time every year, I have a long list of new year’s resolutions. Last year’s list had no less than 20 items. I ended up accomplishing a lot of those goals, but they came at the cost of my health and well-being. I’m going to keep it simple this year and limit my list of resolutions to three or four tiny goals. Top of the list: take care of my health.

My throat is slowly getting better. I expect that I’ll be able to talk normally again in a month or two. Reddit tells me I might have something called Muscle Tension Dysphonia, but I’ll keep the self-diagnosis out of this and just do what my doctor tells me to.

A happy new year to whoever is reading this tonight! Hope you find whatever it is that you’re looking for.
