March Review

Fri, 05 Apr 2024 10:00:00 +0100

My monthly reviews had a little break. Allowing more flexibility, I hope to overcome this.

This is the March update.

⏱️ I am working for one and a half months since parental leave and miss spending time with the baby a lot. Thinking about working part time.

👶 The little one started going to childcare and brought home her first drawing. Cannot tell how much I am in love.

⛑️ I decided to get trained as a first aid instructor. The training consists of a weekend-module, three hospitations, and another full week training. That will require commitment.

⚽️ Volunteering for the Red Cross will come with hard work this summer, as the European Football Championship is held in Germany. Five matches will be kicked in Stuttgart, increasing the need for first-aid personnel even more.

👩‍🌾 There were days with 20 degrees Celcius in March. The new flat has a little „garden“, meaning grass needed to be cut. We also enjoyed one lunch in the sun. The tulips are blooming. It’s beautiful.

💻 The battle of the defaults introduced me to the Arc Browser. I finally had time to test it, but am mainly back at Safari.

🍎 Concerning my plans to eat healthier, I changed my fastening schedule to 16:8. According to my app, I fastened more than 2.500h in the last six months.

👨‍🎨 I struggle with the current design of this site and think about using the Easter break for some makeover.

🗓️ December 2023

Sat, 30 Dec 2023 17:00:00 +0100

🙍 Personal: This year marked the first Christmas with baby. In contrary to previous years, we spend the whole time at home and invited family and friends to our place. It was exhausting, but - with the usual exceptions - very joyful. Buying an extendable dining table beginning of the year was a good choice.

🖥️ Work: A few more weeks of parental leave. With the January report this section should become meaningful 🙂

🧑‍💻 Blog: I could keep the momentum and publish nine articles (incl. this one) in December. They tend to be short. It’s fine for me. I want to focus on publishing something, rather than having a perfectly assembled article. I hope that going back to work next month won’t influence this tender growing habit.

📗 Journaling: With some exceptions during my Corona infection, I jotted down my thoughts on an almost daily basis. I read the “How I Journal” article by mb and may write something similar in the future, too.

📚 Reading: I tried reading “Ikigai”, for the third time at least. Not sure if I will ever finish it. The topic is interesting, but the book is not pulling me into reading flow. I will give it another chance.

📺 Watching: We were not watching any series this month, and barely TV at all. We did not even have the time to watch “Home Alone” (but found out something interesting about it). I reduced our Netflix subscription to a cheaper one - may cancel it soon.

🛒 Shopping: No major shopping as we try to keep Christmas presents at a minimum.

🧳 Travel: This year, we went to the mountains before Christmas and spend the Holy Night back home. I wrote about the train trip, and the time in tue mountains.
