Mom is still asymptomatic. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will continue that way – it would be close to a miracle!

I am finally symptom-free entirely, including not being completely exhausted by 8 PM every evening. Moreover, I did a massive cooking (I made some progress in cleaning up my freezer in the course of the previous couple of days, which was also good!). The tests are still positive, though, so I am not making any specific plans for the next couple of days, except that I can now officially go out wearing a mask. I didn’t lose any work time (almost), but the backlog on the book continues to grow, which really concerns me. I know that, objectively, there is very little left, because all of the remaining chapters were worked on, and some are “almost” done, but I also know how misleading this “almost” can be.

Life goes on 🙂

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.
