What’s Worth Remembering: November 2023

  1. I’ve been feeling so out of my element this week, but one of the meetings helped bring me back. Glad to be home
  2. So glad my parents arrived safely
  3. My work doesn’t define me but a well run meeting might
  4. Had a wonderful dinner with Amanda and watched the Attack on Titan series finale, what a great day!
  5. Today was my second to the last yoga sessions, as I contemplate the positive side to endings. Finally met up with Mike after so many years
  6. I have so much to be thankful for on this birthday. The tough part is realizing and embracing this love that I do have over the lie that I don’t that’s deeply etched into me.
  7. Presentation went well today, and glad it wasn’t as meeting packed as usual
  8. Ian made a really nice miso soup with veggies and added noodles for dinner — so yummy!
  9. Had a leg cramp during the night that affected my ability to walk for the early of the day. I’d always know a cramp is happening seconds beforehand too — so strange.
  10. My cramp prohibited me from running. It’s been a while since my last run
  11. Today finally felt like my proper birthday, as it was wonderful to enjoy dinner with my friends
  12. Journalling is something I sometimes dread doing at the moment, but never regret having done afterwards
  13. It was tough to get through the workday with my cold, so I might actually take a sick day tomorrow
  14. The sick day gave me a needed opportunity to restore, which allowed me to not only relax but work on things that can further alleviate stress
  15. I’m taking a new stab with the BuJo daily log with Interstital logging — basically logging down my notes and todos throughout the day in-between context switching. It’s taking a bit to get used to, but I think it will really expand my use case to be able to capture more progress to make my BuJo even more meaningful
  16. Work meeting consumed the entire day and nothing ever seems to be good enough
  17. First day of cutting out caffine and it sucks. I am entirely burnt out at work and thank goodness for the break next week
  18. With Ian’s help we changed the car’s headlights! Though difficult, it was not impossible — there’s a life lesson in there somewhere
  19. It was nice to be in yoga today. Part of me will miss these Sundays, but the other part is looking forward to shaking up the routine!
  20. Met Ian’s friend and her new, cute puppy! Felt nice to not be working and be able to unwind at Japantown. Got sushi from Nijiya for dinner
  21. Spent most of the day cleaning the apartment — it’s not something i love but I do love the feeling after the errand is finished
  22. Saltburn was a better movie than I thought. Did an evening Yoga session and it was similar yet different, which led me to use “Familiarity” as my intention for that session
  23. Thanksgiving went really well this year, and Dad liked Ian’s cookies and roasted potatoes.
  24. Parents had a really good first day in our Monterey trip, and I’m really thankful for Ian’s kindness and patience on this trip
  25. Parents were over the moon to see the giant waves crash onto the rocks at Point Lobos! This has been a good trip
  26. We went to a different hiking trail than planned and I was very impressed with my parents’ hiking abilities
  27. Finally went home and relaxed after a wonderful trip and Thanksgiving long weekend
  28. First day back at work is always a rough transition
  29. The chicken porridge Ian made was really nice
  30. It’s always good to talk to my oncologist. She is so upbeat and optimistic.
