New Year Reflections: A Morning in the Life of Lee

As the clock struck midnight, ushering in January 1st, 2025, Lee woke up early on New Year's Day with hope and determination. Despite the early hour and the winter chill, she took a moment to extend heartfelt New Year wishes to her audience—reminding them of the importance of spending the day with loved ones, including pets, whom she fondly referred to as family.

Lee’s day began with an unexpected twist. Although she was originally scheduled to work from 12 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., a last-minute request from her manager prompted her to come into work early. This flexibility, while beneficial for the workplace, added a layer of complexity to her already busy morning routine.
