I adapted to a solitary lifestyle with panache.

I worked more hours than I have since I was a junior lawyer, and they are much more difficult and complex hours, now.
Also, for the first time in years, I did not spend my time taking care of and managing my parents health, illness, and death, but was able to spend time taking care of myself. I got caught up on most of my health appts/deferred maintenance, I got back into the pool several times a week (starting in June), and I lost 45 pounds. Working from home has been something of a gift. I miss seeing my peeps in person, and I still have multiple late night meetings every week and sometimes on the same night, but instead of driving each way and trying to figure out my meals on the go or on the fly, I commute downstairs to my kitchen and eat good stuff.

No take backs. Pass ‘em to someone else.

Yah, no thanks, I think I got at least 20 of my own.
Not sure I have actually "accomplished" anything definitively this year, but I did spend a considerable amount of time reviving my skills as a violist, which I'm kinda proud of. Not really good yet, but making steady progress after a hiatus of 35+ years.

Sorry for your losses. The best gift you can give yourself and your parents is to continue doing a good job taking care of yourself. It is always good to hear success stories -- congratulations and best wishes for continued good health!

Guin, thank you. Your post in this thread is the most positive thing I have heard/read in the multitude of year-end lists.
I accomplished one great thing, just for me, just a few minutes ago.
I ordered the NEW Ella Fitzgerald album. Made from unreleased tapes of her Berlin concert.

I’m down about 30 another 30 would be good but unlikely and 30 beyond that would put me in “great” shape. Doubt it will happen though I don’t have the motivation. I enjoy working from home but I really need to get out of the house more

I presumably beat cancer for the second time in three years.
Now I just have to learn how to pee again.

Exactly. (It's a given that obtaining underwear will be in there somewhere.)
