Christmas 2024

What a week, what a day. This was for sure one of the greatest weeks of my life. Spent a ton of time with my son during Christmas. We went to a Christmas light show, had pizza and OREO hot chocolate. Oreo hot chocolate. That's some 2024 stuff right there. I had some too and it was outstanding. And yeah, we watched a solid amount of Christmas movies too. I'm beyond grateful. I'm going to likely start way earlier for 2025's Christmas in terms of buying presents. Gotta look at the big picture too.

Definitely feeling a lot of unique feelings tonight. That post Christmas feeling is always strange and it only gets stranger as I get older as a dad and man. I'm also extremely tired and I'm fairly sick. A slightly below average cold. Not horrible, but a shade above inconvenient. Like a 3.7/10 type of cold. HA. So yeah, all in all I'm just mentally and even physically a bit exhausted.

Probably will play a few rounds of chess or something before bed. I am infinitely just not improving at the game in terms of ELO score but the never ending battles are just so enticing and enjoyable. What a game. Maybe if I have time I'll look into proper strategies, or whatever but I'm enjoying just going with the flow at this point. Enjoying the process. I played a game of chess on Christmas with my son with his new chess set, absolutely a memory I'll never forget. He sure seemed to enjoy himself too. I'm so proud to be his dad.

Hive on folks.
