Week Notes – Sep 30 to Oct 06 2024
- 🏝️ September was a blur, and I feel like I did so many things! I started October feeling tired. I will have 2 days off this week before the Thanksgiving weekend! So, I’m going to have an extra-long weekend to recharge a bit.
- 🧘♀️ I want to focus on my stress management this month. Although I have my routines in place to help me with anxiety, I’m still feeling tense overall.
- I still have the occasional pain on my left hip that comes and goes. Very annoying! 😐
- 🐉 I was invited to join a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign set in Forgotten Realms! I’ve never really played in an in person setting. It will start in a couple of months, and I’m excited!
- 🌹I wanted to read a romance with some Halloween vibes, but I can’t deal with horror/spooky/vampires stuff right now. So, I chose a book in my TBR that is historical fantasy with magic in Victorian England: Shadowbound (Dark Arts #1) by Bec McMaster.
- 📖 I’m enjoying The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. I finished Part 1 and started Part 2.
- 📚 I never realize how much I've read in a month until I list out all the books at the end. And it's always a nice surprise, because I don't consider myself a fast reader. Last month was a record of mine with seven books! I’ve been doing a lot of reading instead of doing other stuff, and that adds up quick.
- 🧩 We saw this store with puzzle on sale and we couldn’t resist getting 4 more puzzles: 2 from the Fine Art Collection by Eurographics with paintings from Vincent Van Gogh, one with the Legends of Zelda “Breath of the Wild” video game cover art and another one with a collage of all Iron Maiden album covers.
