Today is Monday, another start to a new week and so much more, as today marks the inauguration of the Orange Puff to the White House. A travesty. But hey. That’s an entry for next week’s Weekly Recap. Today, rather than focus on the upcoming week, I’m here to talk about That Was The Week That Was. As in, what happened last week.
Which, as usual for me, is not a lot, that is, till the weekend rolled around and me and mine hung out together at the hockey, yesterday.
Jan 06 to Jan 12, 2025
Mondays are one of those weird days that everyone loves to hate as it usually means they’re at work and, as everyone knows, the first day of work is like a really bad hangover, you just have to force yourself to get through it, drink lots of coffee, and hang in there till it’s all over. Whereas me, I don’t mind Mondays, it’s the start of a fresh week, and fresh day, and a chance to catch up on emails and paperwork.
Dec 30th to Jan 5th, 2025
One week in using my mini BuJo pocket journal and, I couldn’t be happier. It’s the perfect size for me and the kind of notes I’m taking and yet, still big enough to scribble quotes in, doddle silly pics, and use enough Washi tape to keep Japan’s economy going for another 25 years. Ah, don’t you just love the fresh smell of those dotted cream pages in a new bright yellow journal!
The weeks just seem to slip by so fast these days. Which is funny given that some afternoons I’m sat at my desk scribbling away on this or that project and feel like time is stretched in every direction. Which, of course, it isn’t because, well, that would be novel in and of itself. And I’m sure if I were even remotely able to stretch time like that, I’d make sure each hour lasted a week.
Well, that was the week that was. Another weird week of being busy doing nothing and, at times, flying solo as the OH had a funeral to attend. With the weather thwarting any opportunity to get out to the local park and take some last minute photos before the snow came … a bit of a frustrating week.
I didn’t make it and, yes, we had snow all weekend. Well mostly yesterday.
