Overall I am doing good. People around me seem to be dealing with this situation in two ways. Either going completely bonkers by diving into conspiracy theories or having their most intense version of winter depression, yet. Or, in full bloom. And I think I caught the latter part of the lottery.

I am working out 2-3 times a week and going hiking on the weekend. Trying to get my right leg back in shape after my ACL surgery last August. The rest of the time I am working, mostly from home, with some exceptions where I go to do experiments in the lab in the shortest time possible and then leave. I am liking it.

I have been playing a lot of puppy hammer/oxbow meteor lately (a recent vid of a guy who is pretty good at it) and took the plunge to get myself the fire version after playing it for the first time at Borderlands in Denmark last year. Can't wait!

Had to upgrade my MacBook's hard drive lately. I am lucky that I still own one that can be upgraded, even though it was quite expensive to go from a 128Gb SSD to the 1Tb version. But it was worth it. If I even get a MacBook (which I probably won't unless I have unlimited funds) I will make sure to max that shit out!

My plant projects are going well. I have a dimly-lit room so I needed to chose some plants that work well with that. But I am quite happy with it. Trying to grow a jungle.

My thesis is sitting in the back of my mind asking for attention. But somehow, I am able to deal with it. I wonder how long it will take for it to sneakily take over and send me into panic attacks. Will update.
