    After a long recovery I can finally start working out again

    Also I have an amazing dog that I love and I’m thankful for him every day.

      Congratulations. Please be very vigilant about monitoring GI side effects though, my SO was hospitalized because of Ozempic and is now in a class action lawsuit because the manufacturer did not reveal it can cause gastroparesis.

    Two years ago I had to miss a biennial hacker conference I’d been going to (and helping out on) every other year for over two decades, something I love a lot and always deeply look forward to attending, because I’d finally got hit with my first case of COVID. The virus hit me hard, and not only did it make me miss the conference but it left me with heavy long COVID effects which knocked down my ability to do a lot of things for a long time.

    Last week I had a checkup with my doctor who congratulated me on how much I’ve come back from the long COVID. That hacker conference is happening again next week, and I’m extremely excited to see everyone again! (I’ll be masked, of course!)

    My BF and I are getting married soon! :D

    I’m super excited. We live across borders, so I will finally be able to live with him. So much more time for fun stuff like camping and climbing, and even just normal stuff like reading or cooking together.

    I was awarded a big scholarship on Sunday that happened to be the exact amount I needed to pay for my first year of college. The rest of my years are mostly paid for. I’ve always want to go to this college. I was excited about going, but now I’m even more excited now that I’ve earned enough scholarships to pay for it.

      I’m on the same boat. I needed this and was about to write similar post yesterday (but got too tired).

      This year has been pretty rough at work for me with today being the worst (so far). My best office buddy/colleague left for another company last week - good for him as he is now in very friendly space, it’s hard work, but whole different league in terms of company level. So we’re one person down, more work to do and no replacement in sight. I still have two other colleagues which I like as my siblings, but… Our boss is such a trash person! He’s selfish prick with unsatiable god complex, never admits he’s wrong and boy oh boy, he’s wrong a lot. And it’s getting worse and worse as he gets older.

      So thank the OP for good read of some positivity, which is pretty much lacking in my day to day basis.
