Most of this year I have had back problems. Especially the last three weeks. I got treatment by chiropractor and massage therapist, but there are few improvements. One week I had to stay at home three days, which hasn't happened in many years, regardless of the reason. My father came to visit one day and he bought groceries for me. It's problematic for me to stand up so I don't cook much. I have noticed that microwave meals are not particularly tasty.
At work there is a re-organization going on. My department will be joined with the bookbinders and digitization staff. We don't really have that much in common with them but that's not the biggest concern. All the bosses will have to re-apply to their jobs and others can also apply. The descriptions of the different departments left a lot to be asked for. They had completely forgotten my department, we were not even mentioned in the job ads. Of course we objected to this and the library boss came to a meeting, where he simply admitted to the mistake. We were asked to write down all the issues and describe what we do. I have spent weeks writing these documents and have now handed them in. I really hope this will help.
One Saturday in January my father and his girlfriend treated me to my Christmas present - a dinner at an inn.The food was incredible. I had shrimp toast, meat and veggies, and for dessert pannacotta with salt caramel. A truly great present.
I have had my third shot of vaccine. There were some side effects but they didn't last long. The restrictions in society are now removed. Covid is not seen as a threatening illness anymore. Some of my family members have had it and say it's like a bad cold.
