Same here, been using premium since it was bundled with google music when that was a thing. Aside from the creators sponsors, I never received a single ad as long as I was signed in properly to my account.

I love my wfh arrangement, my workplace is trying to go back to hybrid with higher percentage onsite, thankfully/unfortunately I have some chronic illnesses that prevent me from coming into the office without putting my health at risk, so full remote I stay and I crush every developer story they give me so they are plenty pleased

Just got back from Alaska, my 2nd kid was born, my wife got her first job in her career field, had to vacate a house that I was rent to own due to a busted foundation and being at the bottom of the hill so got super flooded and found black mold in the basement. Played a crap ton of halo 3. Started work at a NOC after completing my associates. Wasn’t a terrible year just a couple snags. I think my wife became disabled from her maladies at the end of this year as well. Things got pretty scary in the following year for us.
