Weeknotes 2024: Weeks 28–33

I’m processing too much information and too many experiences to retain it all. Time to slow down.

Week 28

I don’t even remember, honestly.

Got back into running with two workouts. It’s too hot.
Got off of Zoom and into walking and talking over phone calls. This is the way.
Made space for daddy/daugher date with the youngest to Panera bread, the playground, and Coldstone.
Making smashburgers for a friend. And the art of just sitting and talking.
Mirror Twin Pizza on a Thursday night.
Prioritizing sleep vs prioritizing an earlier work day. 8 hours of sleep and working later into the afternoon won.
Made it to San Diego amidst the biggest tech outrage of our time. Only 6 hours late.

Working in California. Lots of long days and walking meetings.
Two days in a row of walking 25,000+ steps and 11+ miles.
Crowdstrike delays complicated Emily’s return trip, but she made it home safe.
Coming home on Friday with no delays. Picked up Asian Wind.
George retired from Asian Wind, and with him went George’s Sauce. He did not pass on the recipe.

Living into the big changes at work.
Ran the Midsummer Night’s Run 5K on a perfect summer night. I set a personal record with an 11:10/mile pace.

The kids returned to school. The structure is welcome. Morning walks have been absolutely perfect.
Trying on subtle changes in church.
Impromptu hangout with friends was a perfect Saturday evening.
I unironically wore my cowboy hat to a friend’s 40th birthday party at a speakeasy and it was nice.
