What I Learned This Week: #237

Monday, April 25 – Sunday, May 1, 2022 The Week in Shiftwork: I worked two Reds games this week, the last two of the season that I can work after my full time job. My full-time boss does not want me to leave work as early as my part time work wants me to comeContinue reading “What I Learned This Week: #237”

What I Learned This Week(s): #236

Monday, April 4 – Sunday, April 24, 2022 Time Marches On The Week in Time: I did not mean to miss two weeks of “weekly” blog posts. A friend’s cancer diagnosis and a new side hustle have consumed not just my actual time, but my perception of time. So, I’m hopefully back on track. HereContinue reading “What I Learned This Week(s): #236”

What I Learned This Week: #235

Monday, March 28 – Sunday, April 3, 2022 The Week in Hello Neighbor Part 1: My work week began Monday at 6:30 am with the alarm blaring. I mean, blaring. I do not usually wake up to blaring. I like something softer. Sometime in the last couple of years, I decided that I don’t wantContinue reading “What I Learned This Week: #235”

Monday, March 21 – Sunday, March 27, 2022 The Week in Bagels: I’m as much of a bagel snob as a Midwesterner can be. I like a chewy crust, covering a dense, doughy inside. Much of what passes for bagels around here are just big ole buns, often over-flavored, with a hole in the middleContinue reading “What I Learned This Week: #234”

What I Learned This Week: #233

Monday, March 7 – Sunday, March 20, 2022 The Week in Words: Covering two weeks in this post, and I’m still having a bit of trouble just putting week one into perspective. There was a LOT of minutiae that nevertheless made me quite happy. Silly stuff, really, made up most of the week, like eatingContinue reading “What I Learned This Week: #233”

What I Learned This Week: #232

Monday, February 28 – Sunday, March 6, 2022 The Week in Renewal: My birthday was this week, and more than New Year’s, my birthday is my reset day. If I’m going to make a change, say, trying to shed some pandemic pounds, that starts after my birthday week. Yes, I celebrate the whole week. WhyContinue reading “What I Learned This Week: #232”

What I Learned This Week: #231

Monday, February 21 – Sunday, February 27, 2021 The Week in Beef: I made a stir fry beef recipe that called for 12 oz. of sirloin. Since I’d planned to stay in all week (the theme of the week, it turns out) I decided to splurge for the expensive cut. Well, the butcher was havingContinue reading “What I Learned This Week: #231”
