Week Notes – Sep 09 to Sep 30 2025
Note: So, I started writing this post at home and planned to finish it during my lunch break on my work laptop. I had added a few more points, links to videos and articles I’d read, it was all ready to publish. Then something happened, and the draft didn’t save. I suspect it had something to do with my work network not liking the write.as link or something. All I know is everything I added was gone!
Now I’m tired, and it’s too late to re-add everything, so I’ll do that next time or in a separate post. I just wanted to publish this one as-is for now.
- ✏️ I have not been writing too much lately, even my private journaling has been less regular. But today I felt that I was able to write some week notes, so here goes.
- ⚒️ Work has been extremely busy, with some truly unreasonable deadlines lately. After work, I’ve been feeling completely drained. Some days, all I can manage is a walk, dinner, a bit of reading, and then bed.
- 💼 One more note about work: the big lump sum job is finally over. It closed on a Friday, and even though I was prepared, it was still incredibly stressful. I felt the aftereffects of that stress in my body for days afterward.
- 👟 The highlight of these past weeks was the Canada Army Run! I wasn’t sure I’d be able to participate this year because of my knee issues. But I got my custom orthotics and new running shoes, and I ran the 10K! I was so happy I felt no pain or discomforts! It was amazing! I ran slower than last time to avoid injury, and I was satisfied with my final time of 1h05min.
- 🎮 I got the early access to the game STAR BIRDS on Steam! Star Birds – The New Game by Toukana and kurzgesagt. I finished the first part and really enjoyed it.
- 🍂 I’m loving the fall colours. We went out on the trail a couple of times for some beautiful hikes.
- 📖 I’ve updated my Kobo, and now I can read Instapaper articles on it! I used to rely on Pocket, but it shut down recently.
- 🎧 I went on a bit of a nostalgia trip rediscovering the band Nightwish.I remembered loving their early albums from the 2000s. They’re a Finnish symphonic metal band with a female lead singer, blending heavy and speed metal with keyboards and melodic vocals. Some songs are gloriously over the top, and I love them!
