🌧️ Week Notes 020
🗓️ // May 11, 2025 - May 17, 2025
Very rainy week, which was cool in that I didn't have to do too much watering, but it was damp enough that I think it really helped the moss that has been giving our front yard a hard time.
🥩 We had a really nice Monday Mother's Day celebration since Mary had to work Sunday. Mary's parents and my mom came over, and I ended up grilling all the flank steak, which I hadn't done before. They even turned out okay.
⚽️ Spurs fans, including myself, have been counting down the days to the Europa League final. Unfortunately, we had a game Friday against Villa that started well (despite rotating like 7 starters) and ended poorly. Son looked promising during his stint.
⚽️ Lots of soccer practices for the girls and games today.
Crossed the400,000 words mark in 750 Words as well as the 500 total entries.
Watching
📺 Welcome to Wrexham 👍👍 Season 4 debuted yesterday, and I immediately watched the first two episodes. It's absolutely amazing that they were able to go back to back to back and get into the Champion this season, and I'm looking forward to seeing the full story. I'm tempted to see if Mary would be interested in watching from the first season.
📺 Andor S2 (👍👍) wrapped up this week, and now I kind of want to see if Mary would be interested in watching Season 1 with me since she's never seen it. Tremendous show that adds so much to a New Hope in conjunction with Rogue One. Easily the best Star Wars series that Disney has done, and now I want to see the continuing adventures of Kleya, Vel, Vilman, and Mon Mothma.
Playing
🧙♂ Played a fair amount of MTG ranked and did a few more premier drafts to get my rare collection up over 100. Mainly just stayed on top of my daily quests and didn't do much to help the girls with their accounts this week.
⚽️🎮 Didn't play any Bang Average Football myself this week, but helped the girls get squared away so that they could play on the old MacBooks I have them set up with.
Listening
- 🎙 Mainly Spurs podcasts in the build-up to Friday's game and the Europa League Final next week.
Projects
🚙 Changed the oil on Mary's SUV for the first time this week despite having done more involved things like changing the spark plugs a couple of years ago. Had a hard time removing the oil filter, but got it sorted out today.
🏡 Continued working on the yard this week, got the middle third de-thatched and re-seeded by Sunday afternoon, and finished de-thatching around a third of the lower bowl. It rained a ton this week, which really helped the existing moss, unfortunately.
🍏⚙️ Started updating a few of our old Macs to the latest Open Core and Sequoia 15.5 since it came out this week. All seemed to go pretty well.
🗓 Started working on my blog again and updating my Week Notes, and Microcosm posts that I had never gotten around to after falling out of the habit.
