from Noisy Deadlines

  • šŸ˜‡ I’ve been quiet lately because there’s a lot going on at work, and I’ve mostly kept myself away from the computer at home. The past two weeks at work were intense and completely drained my energy. I’m still recovering.
  • 🦿 I ordered custom orthotics to help with the pain in my knees. They should be ready for pickup later this week. I was planning to get a new pair of running shoes, but I’ll wait until I have the orthotics so I can try new shoes with them.
  • šŸ‘Ÿ I’ve been going out for walks instead of running, because, yeah, my knees. I don’t want to push through pain just for the sake of routine.
  • šŸ“• I finished reading ā€œMirror Danceā€, which is #08 in the Vorkosigan Saga (by publication order). It was excellent! I’m reading the series in internal chronological order, so my next book will be ā€œMemoryā€, which is #10 in publication order.
  • šŸ“– I started reading ā€œThe Girl Who Could Move Sh*t with Her Mindā€ (The Frost Files #1) by Jackson Ford for my local book club. I’m enjoying it so far!
  • šŸ“’ I’ve also returned to using my Happy Planner to organize my week. I’ve decided to finish 2025 with this planner and choose a new one for 2026 later on.
  • āŒ› One thing I noticed over the past couple of weeks is that not doing time blocking made me feel overwhelmed and unsatisfied with my day. I tried using my digital calendar again, but it just doesn’t give me the same results. So, this week, I’m going back to time blocking on paper.
  • šŸŽ® I’m also trying to get back into gaming, so I started a game I bought a while ago called ā€œCitizen Sleeperā€. I like it because it feels like a text-based RPG set in space, with beautiful art. There’s no action stress or need for quick reflexes and coordination. It has interesting characters and great storytelling.

šŸ“Œ Cool online reads:
