What a strange year

Highlights and lowlights, because why not?

Highlights:

• Moved into my own place in May
• Got a promotion
• Started a new exercise regiment. Kept up with it for most of quarantine (back to that in a sec)
• Decided to enroll in pre-nursing courses
• Started working from home, which has saved a lot on gas and has let me be a little more productive with what is traditionally viewed as busy work

Lowlights:

• Around May, I started having some odd symptoms (night sweats, unusually excessive fatigue, etc)

• Recently was diagnosed with a grade III hiatal hernia; Essentially, a large part of my stomach is sitting in my chest. It will almost certainly require surgical intervention. My doctor suspects I may also be exhibiting early symptoms of a rare blood disorder, but additional testing is needed

• Started dating someone I thought was really cool. Ended up getting my heart broken

The positives outweigh the negatives thankfully, but I almost feel like I’m on a bit of a slingshot. By the time December 31st rolls around, I genuinely won’t know how to feel about this year.
