The Week #331

by
  • 💙 The US had its mid-term elections and for the first time in my life the person I voted for represents my state. Given the past 10 years I was afraid to get my hopes up too far, but never did I imagine every state-level race in Texas would flip.
  • ⚽️ A couple weeks back I said Leo had come out of retirement. It's now official. After attending his second soccer practice he decided to join. This means every Saturday is full of classes, but in a way, I think having the routine will be beneficial.
  • 🥶 After 25 degree summer-esque day on Friday, winter has arrived with lows in the single digits and highs barely double digits. I got rid of a lot of winter clothing last year as I had been wearing it for longer than I should, and I have yet to replace it. I reckon a trip to Uniqlo is in order. ( I often sometimes think about shopping elsewhere, but I never can decide what/where. The options make me feel like Mr. Burns going grocery shopping for the first time in his life and unable to decide between ketchup and catsup.)
  • 😋 The algorithm has been giving me a lot of content about easy high-protein meals... and I've been low-key loving it. I tried one that was a chicken shwarma bake and it was great. A lot of them are various bakes, I reckon because they're easy and film well. Either way, I will be making more of these, no matter how much they make me feel like it's the 1970's and I'm making a casserole.
