everyday life, travel 1 Minute

The last several days (actually, more than a week) were a complete rollercoaster, and I can’t and do not want to talk about them now.

I know that the problems we were solving and the worries we had were so minor in comparison with what other people experienced. There are no life-threatening events, everybody is healthy, and I am almost ashamed to talk about our situation.

The good part is that we have plans for this summer, and although they’ve changed drastically from what they were a week ago, they should work :).

Since over the weekend, I was still unsure whether I would be traveling or not, I didn’t start packing, and then I was too nervous to pack because of all uncertainties. Tonight I skipped the concert I wanted to attend so that I could finally pack because I am leaving on Saturday, but I got caught up in reading about the current situation at the front, and… well, I still have about 40 hours 🙂

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.
