Arts & Crafts
I began a macrame leaf project for fun. It didn't work out. The size of the string I have is just not thick enough. I'll get some proper macrame cord next pay.
Decluttering & Minimalism
There are times I would love to be just a couple of inches taller. I changed the hanging light above the TV in my living room to a flower shaped one like the one I have elsewhere in the room. It was easy enough to hang up after assembly, but my arms were just a couple inches short to be able to secure the cord. I had to move the entire TV console just to do that little bit. And, of course, the nail kept falling to the ground. No wonder small tasks exhaust me!
On Wednesday, I got the notification that my storage coffee table was out for delivery. Due to dizziness, I didn't expect that I would get it put together though I really wanted to. I decided to see how I felt after dinner. I was able to start it and I finshed it on Thursday.
I feel like it's a perfect place for holding the materials for the crafts I tend to do while watching TV.
Gaming & Streaming
I had planned to attend a gaming night at the Royal Oak this week, but felt dizzy that day shortly before I had to drive there. I was bummed about it because I don't see those particular friends that often, but sometimes one must listen to their body.
My regular weekly game night wouldn't be happening this week either due to two of us having softball playoffs.

Lifestyle & Sports
The first two games with Q2 happened on Thursday. My left shin was mutinous and whenever I tried to move quickly, I regretted it. It's been unhappy since last Thursday then I ran on it that Friday for the bulk of two games. I had runners for the two games. I missed several foul ticks and I am super annoyed about it.
My other team, Peaches, began playoffs on Saturday. Because we finished the regular season in second place, we didn't have to play on Friday. Instead, we had a team dinner with pasta to prepare. It was a great evening. On Saturday, we lost our first morning game. The sun made it hard for me to see what was going on for much of the time and it was early. After that, we went for brunch before returning to Riverain Park for a redo on the league photos. Game two began at 4PM and we won that one.
Day two of playoffs brought us an early morning win followed by an elimination. We lost by three points and I spent the remainder of Sunday watching others play while socializing.
I later enjoyed some pizza and Hackers Day before going to bed early.
Music & Songwriting
Currently, I'm doing a lot of listening as I attempt to learn things.
Reading & Writing
I've had a friend's short story/essay collection of Margaret Atwood's for awhile now. It was long passed time for me to get done with it. I'm not a fan of reading essays, so I ended up skipping over those to the short stories at the end of the book and those were enjoyable.
Given all the softball this week, I didn't put pressure on myself to write anything.
