My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996.
I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future.
I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life.
As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.

This is something I miss about living in a city.
I made an Amazon order on March 27. Its expected delivery is April 28.
I know it’s never like this during normal times, but it’s not normal times so buying it online was the only way to get it. So seeing your Amazon packages makes me jealous. lol

You might be pleasantly surprised, at least I hope so! I got packages 7-10 days ahead of the “expected date”. And speaking about the cities, I live in the village of Palatine, I am just “near” Chicago 🙂
