I write this blog for myself as much as others, so there is a piece of me that will be unapologetically using it as I would use, say, a public bullet journal. As such, I kinda feel the need to start a little series, formally and officially, where I just remind myself that I actually got shit done this weekend.
A guy’s gotta take some pride in his own accomplishments, no?
This past weekend, I…
Attended two family dinners, including one where I somehow managed to fit in helping my father-in-law purchase and set up a new computer and get his beloved genealogy hobby back on track. Also, finally delivered the mirror I picked up at Ikea for my sister.
Voted in the federal election.
Completed reading two novels, which to some might seem like a quiet weekday evening accomplishment… but my track record with reading these days is weak.
Watched the son of a friend compete in a figure skating tournament.
Demoed my game development project to the one guy who might actually have something useful to add to it code-wise, and he had some positive things to say about it as I fed him homemade fries and chicken fingers.
Ran more than ten klicks in one sesh, which is the furthest I’ve run this whole month thanks to some nasty chest infection which seems to be 99 percent resolved.
Reached the five week mark in my Duolingo Japanese lessons without either cheating or using streak freezes or other sneaky ways of skipping a day without it counting against me.
Completed and submitted my homework for my fifth of seven courses in my continuing education program and got, hopefully, one step closer to professional certification.
Was that all, huh?
