2026 Week 40 Notes: Sounds like a me problem
🗓️ // 28 September — 4 October 2026
Someone once told me that my disorganized brain really needed a template to write proper weeknotes. (That someone might have been me. It probably was me.)
Someone told me everything I post has to have a photo, or no one will want to look at it, and the sosh meeds will not make it look pretty when it posts. And we've got to be pretty.
Someone told me the right way to write these was to be clever, make sense, be linear, be one thing and then another thing, be kind, be positive (don't complain, ever, or if you complain, make it funny), be ordered, be comprehensible, be interesting, be the most interesting. Be consistently this and be consistently that.
With all the someone-ing I forgot that the point of these is there is no point. This is the ultimate "who cares" place. If I can't simply goof off in the most low-stakes environment to ever exist ... well.
Sounds like a me problem.
This week contained, in no particular order and definitely without cute headings:
- the first time I told a friend that I was feeling bad about an upcoming weekend trip with our friend group instead of keeping my feelings to myself and powering through (the friend responded beautifully, of course)
- a new recipe, Miso-Garlic Butter Roasted Delicata Squash, continuing the trend of throwing miso at whatever seasonal vegetable arrives in our CSA box
- the first staff development day my work team has managed to host in seven years (really, so much guilt about that, but we all pulled it off and it was amazing)
- still reading "A Half-Built Garden" by Ruthanna Emrys, which I was supposed to be reading for a new book club I joined, but haven't finished it yet and missed the book club meeting about it
- my rendition of this scarf is not looking like the photos, and I think I'm nearly done with it
- practicing telling my perfectionism to walk into the sea by ending this list and this post without emotional resolution
