My 2023 in Review

 My year in review: though it was the year I lost my dad to cancer and my granddad to Parkinson's, it was also a year where I got promoted from research aide to assistant researcher at work, went with my friends, Tyler and Kevin to spend a weekend in St. Joseph, Missouri, went with several work people and friends to an Association of University Centers on Disability in Washington, D.C, e-mailing my senators and representatives almost every day of the year asking them to support abortion rights, and doing a lot to fight my anxiety, among other things. My resolution for the new year: look at finding a townhouse or a condo in Lawrence, enjoy trips in Kansas or Missouri an hour away from Kansas City with friends, work on finishing a couple of the books I started this year in addition to some of the ones on my reading list, continue to work toward finishing a few novels and stories I have started on, continue my journey in dealing with my memory loss, and do what I can to stop a president or Congress who are either Trump or someone who would pardon him for his crimes or sign any kind of national abortion ban from coming to power. Happy New Year, everybody!
