Shorter update this week, but next week should be busier.
Highlight of the week: I’ve got a proper work space now! See below.
things I did
- I cooked potato and bean qorma for myself, which lasted me a good while, and I still have about one serving left. My brothers were ordering McDonald’s and I didn’t want any so I made myself a very late lunch with lots of leftovers.
- I cleared off the table in the room I’ve been staying with, only to discover that it’s basically the worst wi-fi deadzone in the house. Like, that specific table; anywhere else in the room is decent. That’s okay, though, I moved back into my old bedroom this weekend.
- One of my brothers has gone back to uni, vacating my old bedroom for my use, meaning I finally have a proper work space. With my family all back at school or work, I should be able to get to work in earnest myself. I’ve begun moving into the room.
- My family requested I cook Chana Masala again, which I did.
things I read
I’ve made enormous progress on Anathem; I’ve read about half of it since last week, spending a full twelve hours on reading it over the last four days. Things are really heating up and I’m enjoying myself.
I still don’t think this book is for everyone, and perhaps just for a few people, but I appear to be square in the middle of the target audience.
