This too shall pass

We're days away from December 2017, and 2017 and all of the issues it has thrown at us appear to be coming to an end, all at once.
Our house is going unconditional tomorrow (hopefully). I would definitely recommend selling your own home, I'm going to do a post with tips and tricks to make the process smoother for other people.
Our apartment is getting there, Rhys took some photos this afternoon and the new floors are down.
Our holiday is just over two weeks away! We're off to Singapore and Hong Kong. Somewhere new for a change, instead of a fourth trip to Hawaii since Imogen was born (I really love Hawaii! I could visit every year).
My health is getting there, sure I have issues that I'm still working on, but I'm up and functioning. September/October seem like a bad dream.
I'm recruiting again (well trying!).

So future me, deeper into your PhD, please remember how bad spring 2017 got.
The pain of untreated RA, the stress and uncertainty of our living arrangements. The exhaustion that came with trying to hide every problem from the kids. If you made it through 2017 you can make it through the next thing. Good luck.
