Four weeks left of work. Shorttiming like CRAZY over here. In the middle of two jobs, writing project, grad school application, friend's funeral, imminent arrival of ex from overseas to spend some time over the holidays...OH let's not forget I've barely given thought one to Christmas ( Read more... )

Still uncertain the value of doing this. But I do have 15 years of weekend recaps... I need to at least archive stuff here ( Read more... )

Also, work ( Read more... )

Another quick one: Friday night to Saturday, actually got to sleep in! Like, not get up to an alarm! It was amazing ( Read more... )

I wonder if the time to stop doing this is coming? "Weekends" aren't even going to have quite the same meaning for me in a few months ( Read more... )

I realize there's a sameness to writing "Well I worked both days this weekend, about eight hours on Saturday and like thirteen on Sunday!" but going into more detail isn't particularly something I have the time or energy for.

Hooray! Saturday was mostly unstructured. Actually I guess it was entirely unstructured, but although I didn't succeed in doing ZERO work I didn't do much ( Read more... )

I kinda worked all weekend, second-job stuff. It was good: teacher training Saturday, and Ingathering Sunday was lovely with the potluck and all, and then the OWL parent orientation in the evening. But yeah: I didn't really have a weekend. I know that's going to happen sometimes, and I'm trying to mentally prepare. But I'm also guarding my free ( Read more... )

It wasn't perfect, I should have taken more time off the grid and not interacting with screens, but I did some of that. And I did some friend-time and not too much work-time and tomorrow I managed to have the day completely off, essentially.

I have one hell of a busy September coming up, though, friends. Boy howdy.
