My employer was taken out of commission by a ransomware attack for nearly a month.

About when that concluded, my fiancée contracted severe pancreatitis from a fairly routine surgery and has been fighting for her life ever since.

My doctor chalks down all the extreme dizziness and sleepless nights I’ve had down to stress. I have to hope she’s right cause I really don’t have the energy to spare for being ill right now.

So in summary, less than great so far.

All my former doomscrolling time now goes into working out, practicing French on Duolingo and going to events to meet people. So far so great!

I was under general anesthesia three times in my childhood due to arriving into this world only partially assembled.

The first time I was sedated with ether (which I believe is not in use anymore) and only remember a nurse forcing the mask over my face before waking up to the sound of my father snoring next to me. I was violently ill for the next several days, but from what I hear I got off light compared to others.

For the next two I was given some kind of euphoric stimulant (via suppository, go figure) to calm me, but from what I’ve been told it instead made me hallucinate that I was driving a race car and did so all the way to the operating theatre much to everyone’s amusement. I’m happy that I remember none of this and that it was before smart phones or I’d probably be on YouTube forever. 😅
