I’m grateful that my wife last CT-PET scan was clean. I am also grateful to have a gold plated drugs insurance plan that reimburse drugs that the public system doesn't... without that she would probably be dead.

I am grateful for my colleagues who covered for my diminished mental abilities (the trimestrial scans after a cancer recurrence are always nerve wreaking) and provided emotional support while we were awaiting the result of that scan. I wish I could properly thanks them instead of drowning in my feelings when I try to do so.

You're not the only one grateful for successful cancer treatments this year. They really ought to be more broadly available than they are, and the constant nickeling and diming by the insurance companies over the course of the year is something for which I am distinctly not grateful. Also, my employer not firing me for being distracted whilst my wife was in treatment is another thing for which I am grateful. New Year's Resolution is to undo the bitrot that incurred and return to the front line of the AI Arms Race.
