I am a man who thrives within set routine and lots of planning. I do not work well in loose environments, which unfortunately is my “default” mode. The younger version of myself was laid back and lived fairly “at the moment” and I can’t say that was my best life. I often didn’t get things …
I spent the holidays at home with my family, enjoying each other’s company. Because of the pandemic, obviously, we did not see any extended family.
