Incoming Rabbits
<p>Welcome to 2023. New Year, and my rapidly approaching birthday is always a time of checking in. Looking back, looking forward. Are you where you want to be? Are you doing what you want to do? Are you moving in the right direction? These are questions that we might answer differently one day versus the next, or even before lunch versus after, so let’s be generous to ourselves. In 2022, I did not kill our bonsai, so I feel like I’m doing okay.</p>
<p>Last year I wrote to you from quarantine, and ironically I am writing to you from a more self-imposed quarantine: I finally got Covid. Tested positive Sunday after a sore throat that started Thursday morning and a negative rapid test Friday morning. My symptoms have been incredibly mild — an occasional cough, a sore throat primarily when I lay down or first get up, and possibly a little more tiredness than usual (though, really, who can tell with that sort of thing?). Carolina also didn’t get it — we both got booster shots in December and have just been lucky. The biggest annoyance has been that I’ve had to miss meeting up with a couple of former students back home in Taiwan after their first semester of university.</p>
