Notes from my week.
- Busy week with lots of appointments and activities, almost all kid-related.
- Worked on my bragdoc website.
- Released updates to my website. Mostly content changes and additions.
- Attended the virtual CodeLand 2022 conference.
- Ordered a new desk. I had been eyeing the UPLIFT Standing Desk for quite a while, and I finally decided to pull the trigger. I had a smaller version of the same desk at my old job, and I’ve been missing it every day since I started working from home at the beginning of the pandemic.
- Made a Zombie with my Beachbum Berry Zombie rum for the first time, and it was very good.
- Went to Lawrence for Father’s Day to have lunch with my brother and my in-laws and then sent the kids with the grandparents for the week.
