Weekly Notes 2025.32

2025-08-17 2 min read
  • After a week away, this week it was back to the office, and a semi-normal schedule. Well… okay, half-normal. I had a coworker from Fargo visiting this week, which meant a few extra meetings, and a few extra meals out!
  • Monday was pretty standard, preparing for the week ahead and catching up on a few things I’d missed while out.
  • Tuesday we had multiple vendors meeting in for meetings, so I was barely at my desk all day. In the evening we took our coworker out to La Fiesta for dinner and drinks.

  • Wednesday was a bit more project-focused, followed by a (later) dinner at The 208 House with another vendor who was in town for PTI.

  • Thursday saw a partial-return to my normal routine, and meals at home (which my waistline needed after multiple meals out!).
  • Friday I had an optometrist appointment in the morning, followed by a meeting in the office, and then a final lunch with our coworker from Fargo before he headed home. Lunch was at Verandah, a restaurant that I don’t frequent often, but which has an interesting variety of foods.

  • On Saturday, it was once again time to mow, so the morning was largely spent mowing, trimming, and making my yard look like someone actually… you know, takes care of it. 😂
  • Saturday afternoon I spent time working on some projects around home, and then the evening was largely spent watching a tv show.
  • Sunday morning I went to Divine Service, which was a little different than normal, as the pastor was unable to be present. The service was modified slightly, and a lay-person delivered the message, but overall everything went well!
  • Sunday afternoon I worked on a few personal and work projects (I didn’t do any one thing for more than an hour or two), and after I finish authoring this post, it will once again be time to prepare for the week ahead!
