Win of the week: getting my new sourdough starter going 🍞
Looking forward to: I’m planning a trip to Bellingham later this month! I haven’t been in years (went to college there), and I’m meeting some friends of a friend 😃
Stuff I did:
- 6 hours consulting
- 4.75 hours writing
- Did some end-of-project retrospective for my project that’s wrapping up and took care of some consulting admin
- Cleaned out my music library — so far I’ve culled 10GB — more to go!
- Tried backing up my files to external HD and I don’t have enough space on my computer apparently 🙃
- Set up my new work computer and brought back out the KVM switch. My new second monitor isn’t working, so I need to troubleshoot that. Also still need to order a new personal computer… so many decisions 😭
- Started watering the garden this week because it finally got hot
- Revived my sourdough starter I got from Carl’s Friends 😄 Feeling a bit daunted about making bread bread after watching a couple videos, so I might stick with using it more as flavoring in like pancakes and quick breads 🤷♀️
- Sunday morning donut run 😋🍩
- Played games with my sister
- Skipped my usual walk with a headache 😥
- One virtual appointment
Dinners:
- tuna melt + orange juice smoothie
- taco night with broiled salmon + blackberry Izze
- Greek salad (inspiration) with leftover broiled salmon
- Mexican: veggie burrito
- Thai takeout: pad kee mao + eggplant stir-fry + rice
- Leftover Thai + frozen egg rolls
- Beans on toast + poached egg
Reading:
- Read The Hidden Witch by Molly Knox Ostertag and The Infinity Particle by Wendy Xu 👍
- Re-read Alpha Night by Nalini Singh
- Started reading Road to Ruin by Hana Lee
- Continued reading The Jewel-Hinged Jaw by Samuel R. Delany
- DNF’d Moonstruck Vol. 1 by Grace Ellis and Shae Beagle, House of Suns by Alastair Reynolds, and Perv by Jesse Bering
- Ordered The Dark Forest Anthology of the Internet
