Never Say Never

 I quit my low key government attorney job to go back to a law firm at the beginning of December.

There is so much to say (that I will say eventually), but for now I'll keep it simple: I am happy.

When the pandemic caused the abrupt cancellation of major life milestones (ahem, our wedding), slowed others (the new home build that never ends), and stripped away so many day-to-day joys, there were no distractions left and I had to admit that the slow and steady government job that would be a dream for many transactional lawyers was not working for me.

This led to a new job. And a new puppy. More on both to follow.
