Week Notes, 2025-03-30

Weekly Features from March 24th - 30th:

🗃️ Two weeks ago, I crossed the one-year boundary at my current job. Last week, I had my first annual review. I usually get a bit anxious before these kinds of reviews, but if what happened last week is any sign of what’s to come, I’ll be able to relax a bit. My manager managed to be more casual, yet more organized, with his assessment than most of my managers were at my last place. We talked realistic goals for 2025-26, and he gave me advice for tracking my accomplishments that could, oddly enough, dovetail with my recent blogging revival. I don't plan to talk about my job much on this blog, but since I'm already tracking life events, why not spin off of that task and create one that's job-focused? In any case, it was a successful review, one in which I actually left in a good mood.

🛬 After 27 hours of flying, my in-laws are back in Florida. I don't doubt that they are still confused as to what day or time it is, given they had flown halfway around the world. I'd be similarly addled if those were my circumstances as well! It will take some time before they feel "normal" again, so they are using their regular home routines to get back into the swing of things.

🩺 I’m currently going through a series of health check-ups. Last week, I had an ultrasound on my legs after consulting with a cardiologist. I’ve been feeling tingling sensations for months in my legs, along with odd muscle twitches, and it’s been tough to find a comfortable sleeping position. We both thought it might be related to my nerves rather than blood circulation, but since my mom has had so many health issues, we decided to get it checked out. The good news is everything looks good with the circulation in my legs. A normal EKG test bolstered our opinions of what's going on with my legs, so yep, they're definitely nerve-related. This week, I’ll have a dermatologist look at my skin because there are a couple of suspicious spots on my legs. The following week will be an initial visit with whom I hope will be my PCP going forward.
