Monday Notes

everyday life 1 Minute
  • Got an updated COVID-19 vaccine. After my double failure in Rogers Park (a long line for community vaccination and later, the Jewel on Howard told me that they only have walk-ins on weekday mornings (and no scheduling because of a website error), I booked an appointment in a CVS on North Michigan – convenient time after work, zero wait.
  • Managed to work almost uninterruptedly on a pressing issue at work and achieved the results I am proud of.
  • My neighbor stopped by, and even before I offered asked me whether she could have a cup of tea :). I consider that a tectonic cultural shift 😀

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.
