Week Notes – Apr 08 to Apr 13 2025
- 🙌 I'm feeling much better now, no nausea anymore and my energy is slowly getting back. Got some blood work results, and my ferritin levels actually went up, so that's really good news!
- 💊I started taking probiotics and some supplements to help me restore my gut flora and I've been feeling less bloated with minor acid reflux.
- 👟 This Sunday we went for our first outdoor run of the year! It was sunny, a nice 16C and we ran 6km with a pace of 6:55min/km (we rested for 1min in the middle). It was nice to get the fresh air, but my low back complained a little afterwards, which is normal after spending the last 6 months only running on the treadmill for 30min max. Spring is here!!
- 📕 I had fun at my local book club meetup discussing the book “The Raven Tower” by Ann Leckie. I didn't love the book, but it has a few interesting topics to dive into. The second-person narrative felt strange to me, but I can understand why it’s widely praised. For me, though, the story just felt kind of cold. I didn’t connect with the characters or care about what happened to them, probably because the story’s told from an ancient god’s perspective, so we’re just watching the characters instead of really getting into their heads.
- ✅ It's been usually quiet at work these days and I thought about switching to MS To Do (I almost did!) but I decided not to. There are some downsides I'm not ready to face right now. I'm still using Nirvana. But because I was having such calm days at work, I stopped Time Blocking. I'm going with the flow, just following my calendar and my next actions lists.
- 🎧 There is this new podcast with two of my favourite’s authors: Emma Newman and Adrian Tchaikovsky. It's called “Starship Alexandria” and I still have to listen to the first episode, but it seems excellent! I saw the news here: Come aboard, the starship's lovely!
- 🧘♀️ My yoga corner has been my little sanctuary lately. It’s where I start my day, unwind, reconnect with myself, and shake off the day’s stress.
- 🧩We finished the Legend of Zelda's Breath of the Wild puzzle! 🥳
