Notes from my week.
- We finally closed on our old house this week. The night before closing, we picked up donuts and took the kids to say goodbye to the house. They were surprisingly more emotional than I expected, but it makes sense given it’s the only place they’ve lived their entire lives.
- Started Hacktoberfest 2022.
- Completed my annual fantasy hockey draft. I’m looking forward to the start of the NHL season!
