Something I thought about:

  • We’ve been living at our house for a year as of this week, which is hard to believe. In some ways it feels longer — we did so much work on the place very quickly, and we unpacked and settled within months. Sure, there are always additional projects, but I don’t feel the uncertainty of a year ago — will I like this place? Where will I work? What will I do? We’ve really settled in.

Something I did: 

  • Finished an English paper piecing flower
  • Made an amigurumi bunny
  • Made an entire piece of embroidery from a kit in one day — first one I’ve finished, and first time attempting French knots and other stitches in over a decade
  • Began soccer momming again
  • Delivered a big report
  • Usual meetings, PMing, testing, etc.
  • Got a haircut
  • Saw a flock of turkeys in the neighborhood!

Something I read: 

  • Slow reads: War and Peace and The Mirror and the Light
