Week Notes – Oct 07 to Oct 14 2024
- ✍️ I’ve been thinking about writing a blog post this week, but it didn’t happen. Not just “week notes,” but a blog post focused on a topic. That got me thinking about my writing process—or if I even have one. I keep a list of blog post ideas in Standard Notes, but I haven’t checked it in a while. Time to change that! Let’s see how it goes next week.
- ⛵ I took a couple of days off, and they flew by! I spent time reading, walking, resting, and generally relaxing. I wish I had journaled more, though.
- 🐤 I got back into playing Stardew Valley🙌. I finally got the hang of fishing using the “c” on my keyboard to control the fishing bar. It’s so much better than clicking with the mouse! Thanks to Stardew Valley forums.
- 🎃 My partner and I are going to a Halloween party at the end of the month! I’ve only been to two Halloween parties in my life (it wasn’t a big thing in Brazil). I got inspired and decided to accessorize a simple black dress to turn it into a sorcerer/mage outfit. I’m also getting a long purple cape with a hood because capes are cool! (This is the perfect excuse to get one) 😎
- 🥇 I ran my third 10Km race this year! It was the Fall Colours Run. It was cold (5C) but not raining (thank goodness!). This race takes place in a scenic route starting at the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum. I managed to keep an average pace of 6:30/km, which is my personal best! I’m pleased with my running progress this year, especially since I wasn’t training for a marathon or anything. I just ran semi-regularly with no crazy goals in mind.
- 🌃 We caught a glimpse of Northern Lights! It wasn’t dramatically intense, just faint since we were in our neighborhood with lots of light pollution. But I saw something, and I captured a bit of it in a night mode photo.
