With the end of the year upon us, I wanted to reflect on things and look forward as I did last year . I came into 2016 hoping that things would start settling more after Baby Tuesday (who isn't much of a baby anymore) joined our family. At the end of 2015, I was still very, very tired. Thankfully, sleep came, and as he learned things, became more mobile, and found distraction in many more things, I could breathe a little bit more. Of course, there are always (many) challenges, but I feel a little more in control now than I did a year ago. Work has gone pretty well. I got a lot busier due to re-orgs, which was an adjustment. Still no promotion (fact: I've never had a formal promotion), but I'm still fine with this because I'm otherwise compensated well and seemingly regarded fine. I've started reading, cooking, and relaxing more, which has given me a little more sense of balance even though I often feel so crazed and frantic trying to get everything don
