Yet another year end post
Hey, happy new year!
2024 was the best year of my life. It's as simple as that. Having a kid has been a ton of fun (her A+ sleep hygiene allows me to say this — using an eight sleep must have worn off on her). Waking her up in the morning is usually the best part of my day. What was the highlight of 2024 for you?
Flipping through a few year end newsletters in my inbox over the past week inspired me to whip together a short one of my own. It will just be a few quick hits.
In 2024:
I had a baby, I got a new job, we released a game, and I bought my new favourite jacket.
I wrote on my blog only 4 times. The main two were about infertility (1 and 2) More coming this year for sure.
I read some great books; I even bought a one-handed e-reader to use while bottlefeeding in the nights early on. My favourites were: the last samurai (helen de witt), the blind watchmaker (richard dawkins), a brief history of intelligence (max bennett), and good material (dolly alderton).
I started slowly re-learning Mandarin after reading this crazy blog post by Isaak. I am still terrible.
I started experimenting with baby-safe cologne — NOT cologne for babies. But now that I mention it…
I enjoyed watching Shogun and eating one pastry a day, on average, since Serena was born.
What’s something you’re looking forward to in 2025?
