Christmas Reading And Watching

everyday life 1 Minute

Something completely out of my character, but I guess I needed some decompression :). Quite unexpectedly, I found myself listening to Audible Originals’ “Mistletoe Murders” – all three seasons, and I utterly enjoyed it! Literally, what I needed! Also, after two months of not touching my Apple Vision, I finally pulled it out and charged, and found that there were a couple of upgrades in between, which resulted in a better user experience, and also that there were several new immersive videos, including the first non-documentary “Submerged.”

Also, I had a couple of people over and even had time to drink hot spiced wine with cheese, crackers, and lots of cookies! And I had some holiday drinks in the Charmers Cafe:

Now, all that’s left is half of the workday, making a daytime New Year for my mom, and then cheering the actual New Year with Igor on Chicago River!

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.
