Weekly Notes 2025.18

2025-05-11 2 min read
  • First off: Happy Mother’s Day to both my amazing mother, and all of the other mothers around the world!
  • This week’s notes will be a little on the lighter side. It’s a tad out-of-order, but as I type this, I’m working at my home Linux workstation (Arch, btw), which rarely sees much use these days. I should correct that…
  • A majority of the week at work was consumed by meetings, preparing for some data migrations, and resolving how various integrations would work.
  • Tuesday evening I enjoyed a dinner at Jonah’s Oyster Bar with some colleagues. As is becoming my normal when I visited, I enjoyed blackened salmon, and a nice Old Fashioned. If ever visiting the Peoria, IL area, I strongly recommend checking it out.
  • Friday I had flowers delivered to my mother for Mother’s Day. I’m not in person this year (which is not entirely abnormal), but thankfully it is quite possible to coordinate and have flowers delivered to surprise my mom!
  • Saturday morning was consumed largely by yard-work, mostly mowing and trimming.
  • Saturday afternoon & evening I focused heavily on chores around the house; laundry, dishes, planning the next week of meals, etc.
  • I attempted to watch a tv show or two over the weekend as well, but so far my mind hasn’t been in it.
  • And that brings us to Sunday (today)! So far today I’ve mostly been relaxing, working on odds and ends after I got home from church + grocery shopping.
