Weaknote 2023-08-22
These are becoming more like month notes đ I knew I was right not to call them week notes!
Anyway, this time weâre doing it in unordered-list-style - I started roughing out a post in bullet points and there were so many (despite thinking âI have nothing to tellâ), that it can stay that way:
Kids
- Half birthday party success! No fights or tears even with 11 2-to-6 year olds!
- âDOMâ is the name of the big 3-times-a-year funfair that comes to town. We went. It is loud. Overstimulated (me)!
- Tonsils and adenoids reduction and grommets prescribed for the youngest. Hearing improved but still not great, and tonsils are huge, setting off coughing fits at night.
- Gave away the old baby clothes for midwives to give to poorer new families.
Life
- Upcoming holiday in 3 weeks, yay!
- Climate worries, while also feeling flygskam.
- Sophie from Mars video about the world not ending is very good. Also very long.
Health
- More squishy Oofos shoes bought for sore foot. Would never have bought them at full price, thank you eBay!
- Finding online advice for plantar fasciitis is either âgo barefootâ or âall the supportive shoesâ - why is everything in life so polarised!
- Massage gun was also a nice purchase, though. Make foot go brrr.
- Considering getting COVID vaccination booster again. Off-Label (not currently recommended by national health authority) for the kids?
Nerdry
- HHTML meet-up plans for end of September! Very looking forward to meeting people :)
- Keycap covetousness. Trying not to buy more as I really donât need them.
- Captcha from Netlify hastly added to website guestbook. Needs the dark mode configuring.
- Letting a hobby-web-dev lull happen. Itâs cool, no need to stress out about hobbies, theyâre supposed to be the opposite to stress.
Talk to me
- As always nowadays I am active on Mastodon if you fancy a chat. Alternatively ping me an email or sign the guestbook!
