The Week #239

  • 🇬🇧 Thank you everyone who reached out last week about improving Leo's English. As you suggest he needs to play with kids his age in that language and if he has a teacher, it needs to be not me. I found an English/Japanese Minecraft pictorial guide that he's opening everyday and reading. It also has a practical use – when he wants to search for an item that he doesn't know how to spell, he can use the index in Japanese to find the page that has the corresponding English word.
  • 🍕 I went to Eatly for a quiet lunch with my wife. We split a pasta and a pizza. While eating the (delicious) pizza I noted, you can tell the quality of the product and simple ingredients because when you chew it, it doesn't just dissolve in your mouth like a slice of dominos. That in turn slows you down, which in turn gives your body time to signal that it's satiated before you've eaten an entire pie.
  •  🏋 I find myself enjoying lifting weights more than running this past week. Perhaps because it's warm and I don't really need to change if it's just for a quick 20 or 30 minutes. I should probably find a program to follow, but I'd rather do something than do nothing while geting stuck trying to find the "perfect" routine. 
  • 🗃️ After 5 years of feeling like we don't have enough "proper storage", despite having 2 nice tall (reaches to the ceiling) anchored into the wall steel racks from Muji, it finally clicked how to use them better so we have a "proper" amount of storage. When buying the racks, I also needed to buy storage cases (with drawers) that could be stacked in a uniform manner across the shelving. Starting to organize stuff into storage cases has made the house feel so much less cluttered... unfortunately I need to buy another zillion to fill the shelves.
