This Past Week...
Sep. 13th, 2023 10:45 pmI meant to start this so many times today, and yet here it is, almost 11. But that's ok.
It's been a fairly decent week. Work has been what I would call "relatively normal", which is a huge improvement over the past several months. Working from home is getting easier to live with, but I'll still be very happy to get back to the office in a few weeks. The lack of routine continues to affect my goals too, so it'll be nice to be able to get that back on track.
The weekend was a mix of good things. I got my regular chores all done during the day on Saturday (for a change), and spent the evening hanging out with my friend (it's been a while and was a good time). Sunday I spent organizing the garage to make space for everything from the back porch, because I'm getting it epoxy-coated this week. This is part one of finishing off the back yard, and I'm excited to get it going.
I have vacation days I need to use before the end of the month, but even with a bit of stability at work lately I feel like it'll be tough to get them all used. So yesterday I played hooky from work in the afternoon. Unscheduled, told no one - went out for lunch and didn't get home until 5. Naturally, karma got me today for that one though - system issues kept me working until 6. But taking a bit of impromptu time away was still nice.
Coming up, I'm going to a concert tomorrow, and there's a festival this weekend in a town nearby that I'd like to check out - so here's hoping the coming week turns out as good as this past one. And hopefully you all have a good week to come as well.
