Notes from my week.
- My family has been dealing with colds this week. Of course, we also had to get another round of COVID tests done just to be sure.
- Our new mattress arrived this week. Hopefully this one will work for us and we can be done with mattress shopping.
- In addition to the new mattress, I ordered a new office chair, which should also help with my sore back.
- I’m not sure how patient I will be in waiting to buy a standing desk.
- Took the family to Purple Power Play, which is essentially a big pep rally for the first K-State home football game. It’s always fun to see the marching band up close, and the kids love collecting all the free things at the booths.
- Spent a lot of time cleaning and organizing my basement this week. My brother is coming to visit soon, and we also need to have some plumbing work done in the basement.
