Something I thought about:

Goodness this week was tough. It started off with everything mostly under control, and I made it through to the end, but it got really pretty difficult between illness and end of year events. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about compromises: the ones I’ve made and the ones my parents made, and there are a lot, but I also think they were the right decisions and worth it. I am a family first kind of person, and I know others are career first, and I don’t judge anyone for their choices (in my own family, there are career first folks), but I think my prioritizations have been right for me/us. Even if I haven’t “made it” in the way I could’ve if I’d prioritized things differently.

Something I did:

One of the projects I’ve been working was released in beta
Tons of meetings, organization, roadmapping
Took a family member to urgent care (everything is fine, but it was an unexpected midweek event)
Made caracs for my child’s French class
Kept up with the various end of school year activities
