Ode to 2015

One of the biggest challenges I had in the second half of 2015 was finding enough time to do the things I love. Among them were cycling, gaming, model-making, reading, and blogging. I mostly blame my job for this, but not in a negative way. Though I was there 6, sometimes 7 days a week, up to 12 hours a day, the overtime pay accrued during that period was significant. The downside includes missing out on some functions with friends and family. This was especially felt around the holidays, but I am still thankful for the time I did get.

Now that 2015 is over, I am working less and taking more time for myself (so far, anyway). I’ve had some time to reflect on the past year and started thinking about significant events, both in my personal life and outside of it. I decided to write them down and kick off my 2016 blogging with something light and simple.
