And of course a happy recent birthday to the lovely and bright 22 year old in my life.
It was a heck of a week this week – some really challenging days and a couple of actual WTF moments at work.
But of this I will not speak further.
My reading streak continues and I’m working my way through the pile of books that built up since late 2019 as well as few newer releases I had on my list. Some recent completions:
- ✓ Fairy Tale
- ✓ White Fragility
- ✓ Still Just a Geek
- ✓ I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
- ✓ Open Season
- ✓ How to Be an AntiRacist (Audiobook)
- ✓ If God is Love Don’t Be a Jerk
- ✓ Parable of the Talents
Next week I have books by John Scalzi, Stephen R Donaldson and Ta-Nahisi Coates in the queue, among others. We’ll see what I actually get to.
Of course I’m still doing a bit of Duolingo French every day, as well as working my way through my Conqueror challenges. I’m more than halfway through my walked challenge: Estrada Real. Meanwhile, there’s been a big push the last couple of days to try to finish The Great Barrier Reef challenge, which I’ve been pedaling.




I’d slacked off a few days along the way, so in the end, a couple of days where I averaged 40 miles got me there:

With this one behind me, I think I’ll pedal the new Lord of the Rings challenges next. I’m still deciding which virtual challenge I’ll do next for my walking efforts – but I have some time to make that decision.
And with all that, I’ll need to fit in, well, work. Like a person does.
How goes it with you?
