A friend and I have been asking each other each week what we're looking forward to this week, and I wanted to do it with more people! So, what are you bunch looking forward to this week?
Heading down the beach hopefully Thurs. for a day or two off.
Getting a cheapo metal file to reshape and sharpen an axe and refurbishing the handle.
Chopping wood lol.
Also getting a new fast 'puter and building that but the axe is more exciting.
Watching the new Naked Gun this weekend (day and time undecided)
Trying a new pizza dough recipe for Friday's dinner
Catching up with a former colleague for coffee this week
Putting in 3-4 solid days on the mats in the gym
Band rehearsal, job applications (oddly lol), maybe a night out on the weekend on the cheap.
Itβs basic but just having a regular week where I can move more freely. Going back to social sports after a few weeks off. Last week was awful from my back injury and the constant pain.
getting my dairy and bread free diet sorted, I'm nearly there
finishing painting some furniture
doing some reading
designing a vegie garden
going on some more hikes π
Pilates tonight
New shoes that have just been delivered
Crumpets for work lunch in the new toaster. This was previously a toaster-free workplace, so strange.
Roast potatoes
A free weekend.
Busy work week but should get some good stuff done. Three week holiday/conference BIG TRIP overseas on the weekend.....eeeek
Obviously don't have to share but can I ask what line of work you're in? I feel like conferences overseas typically happen in science and technology!
It is exactly science and tech! I work as a tech/programmer but in the environment space. I'm very much looking forward to the conference because its a great group of people and I feel like we are doing something just a little bit positive (environmental stuff can get pretty depressing sometimes)
