Weeknotes 2026 // July 13-19
Trying out this weeknotes thing! I’ve seen more than a few people I follow talk about it in the last couple of weeks, and while I’m a sucker for trying new things, I’m skeptical about how well I’ll keep up with it. Weekly is pretty often and I feel like I have a pretty good cadence going. but I also would like this to be a place where I can just drop some logs and who knows, maybe someone will enjoy reading it. :)
This is late, but that’s okay. I’ll share another week notes post this weekend on what I’m doing right now.
what’s going on
- Had a fun D&D session with friends on Saturday. We’re playing Strixhaven campaign and that’s been a lot of fun. My husband runs it and we get together with two other couples every other month or so. I don’t play a lot of D&D but I’ve been really enjoying it.
- We recently introduced my son to The Hobbit and while I wish I could say that I read it to him before seeing the films, he’s a very visual person and absolutely loved the movies. He’s so exicited for me to read it to him.
- I had to take my car to the shop on Friday to get some routine work done. Took two hours to get an oil change and they didn’t even check the A/C, which was one of the biggest reasons I was there. I’ll have to go back in a couple of weeks to have them look at it. Great timing, with all of these heat waves.
- Lastly, I had a long overdue allergy scratch test done last week. I knew I had environmental allergies, but I guess I’m allergic to going outside. Trees, grasses, and weeds are all a problem for me, so I guess I’ll just stay inside.
currently curious about
- ADHD - my son was diagnosed last winter and I have a tiny inkling that I might have inattentive ADHD. It would certainly explain a ton of things. So I’m deep diving into ADHD for the two of us.
- Pomodoro - One of the ways I’ve been thinking about keeping me on task is the Pomodoro technique. Got myself a little timer for my desk and hopefully it’ll help.
- Cloud Appreciation Society - Guys, I’ve found my people. I stumbled into Cloud Appreciation Society last week and it is so much fun. I love clouds and weather and meteorological events and it’s all just really fascinating.
- Weeknotes - and of course, weeknotes! I’ve been exploring how others format their weekly logging.
occasionally watching
- Silo - Loving S3 of Silo, it’s one of my absolute favorite book series and I’m really liking the show so far.
- Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms - Back on HBO for a hot second, catching up on some shows I’ve missed. This subscription won’t be sticking around long.
- The Pitt - Everyone’s talking about this one. It’s a tough watch so far but really very good.
- Battlestar Galactica - Our DVD rewatch. This has been so much fun to go back to.
