2018 in review: Friends and families

The year is drawing to a close, and we can all only hope that it takes the bizarre time vortex we've all been caught in with it. Much like xyzzysqrl pointed out, it really does feel like the beginning of this year was at least three years ago. Yet, at the same time, I found myself caught off guard by just about every advance event--my annual vacation, my birthday and Christmas, writing this post as well as the awards posts--in the "wait, that's tomorrow?" sense.

So. 2018. Whewf.
