A Snowy House Call (Weeknotes #25-03)

Here’s what happened during the week of January 13–19, 2025.

5️⃣ This was my first five-day work week of the year. I’m feeling recharged though, so it was a good, busy (good busy) week.

🚙 On Wednesday I loaded up the car with some tools and painting supplies and headed north to my mother’s house. She’s out of town so I’m doing some painting while she’s away.

🤫 Don’t tell her. It’s a surprise!

❄️ I shoveled the driveway three times while I was up there!

I survived the TikTok blackout of 2025.

Watching

Finished True Detective: Night Country. Good TV, unsatisfying ending.

I know this update is a little light, but it was a busy week and I didn’t do much but work and work. Maybe next week will be more interesting. Cheers!
