Weekly Notes 2025.28
- This week we had a coworker from Fargo visiting our office, so Monday saw an earlier morning than normal in the office, anticipating their arrival.
- For lunch we catered a meal to the office and had a lunch & learn to give the team an opportunity to learn more about a project that the visiting coworker has been involved with.
- Monday evening was filled with preparations for travel, as I planned to visit family Tuesday - Sunday.
- Tuesday morning I met coworkers for breakfast, then headed the office for a morning of meetings. By around 1p I was done, and then it was last minute packing, and off to Ohio!
- I worked remotely from Ohio Wednesday - Friday, taking time over lunch to visit with family, and enjoying time together in the evenings.
- Thursday evening we invited my paternal great-uncle over for dinner (brisket - yum!), and afterwards some reminiscing on family history, followed by a few games of Pepper (a Euchre variant popular where I grew up).
- Friday evening our family went to Two Bandits for dinner & drinks (see pictures below), and afterwards my sister and I went for an extended walk (I thought it was going to be a little over a mile… pretty sure it was over two).
- Saturday I had nothing major planned until dinner, which of course meant that I kept pretty busy! In the morning I went with my sister to her office to help troubleshoot a computer issue (thankfully an easy fix), and after lunch most of my family walked down the street a little to where a neighbor was having a garage/estate sale, where we picked up a number of old but still useful items.
- Saturday evening my sister and I went to a family friend’s house for dinner (burgers, corn, potatoes, and ice cream - delicious!), and followed it up with some good conversation.
- Sunday morning started out with coffee and packing for my return trip to Illinois. I also attended Divine Service with my family, then had a light lunch, and it was time to start driving! Thankfully, the drive home was uneventful, and there were only some light rain showers to drive through.
- And now, off to another week!
