Noisy Deadlines

• 💼 The past 2 weeks have been super busy at work for me. During the process of closing a big job, I’ve had 2 presentations to deliver! It’s not something I usually do, but coincidentally, I was invited to present about estimating to the company’s project managers the first week of November and then to present about estimating to a group of kids that were participating in the “Kids to Work” event last week. It all went well; I was actually impressed at how well I managed my stress and anxiety!
• 📰 I’ve been taking a break from newsfeeds and even RSS feeds. I don’t feel like going through a feed and read about random topics right now. I’ve been focusing on reading my books and something else, which I’ll talk about in the next bullet point.
• 🐲 Dungeons and Dragons! We finally had our Session Zero this weekend! I was super excited! So, before this session, I got a physical copy of the new Players Handbook version 2024 and I read through it and made a bunch of notes. I’m creating a tough Dwarf Paladin, to be our group tanker, with Lawful Neutral alignment. I’m still deciding on a name and background. The group has a total of 6 players, and we will be somewhere in the mysterious High Forest of Faerûn. I’m thrilled!
• ✅ I’ve been thinking about my to-do list again. I don’t know, I am trying to understand what is bothering me about Nirvana. It’s still a work in progress, but there’s something there I need to figure out.
• 🎧 The power button of my 5-year-old Bose Soundsport earphones broke! I’ve been using this earphone daily, and I really like it, but the button fell out and broke just from pressing/regular usage. I read online that the rubber gets old, and it has happened with many people before. I can still power it on with a pencil or something that reaches inside for the button. But because I use it daily mainly for my yoga practice, I ordered a new SPORT True Wireless Sennheiser that was on sale. I still prefer the sound of the Bose, tho.
• 📺 I finished watching Season 3 of “The Legend of Vox Machina”!! It was so good, so heartbreaking and lots of high stakes. I loved it!
• 🌲 The weather is colder now and perfect for hiking the trails around our home (now that the bugs are gone)!
