Day-to-Day

I was longing for rain all summer, but now that it’s here, I’m not that keen, tbh ☔️

The next Apple event is on Wednesday and I will be watching, as always, even if I found them much more enjoyable when they were live, rather than just a 1-hour polished commercial.

This time, though, I’m not so much looking at what they are releasing as what they are not. I’m looking to buy an iPad very soon (the basic one), and am just waiting for the event to pass to make sure they don’t release a new one the day after I buy mine.

The husband said he won’t eat sugar in September, and having put on a bit of weight lately, I decided to join him.

That means last night was the last ice cream in a while 😬

Wake me up when September ends.

This blog (in progress) — I’ve been successfully maintaining this blog for over 3 months now, so I guess it ought to be reclassified as a “hobby” rather than a project by now ☺️
14-day uniform (in progress) — I’m rebooting my wardrobe for autumn, adding a few more muted colours to the mainly black pieces I’m wearing now, while keeping quantities down and keeping things relaxed and very casual.
Lose weight (to do) — Due to some comfort eating, I’ve put on a few kilos and am getting close to 25 in BMI. Time to bring it back down to 23! It always used to be easy for me to lose weight — I’d just skip biscuits for a while — but it’s getting harder and harder these days, so this time it will no doubt take a bit more effort and dedication.
Create the perfect toolbox (to do) — Good tools make everything a lot easier, so when we finally move into our new apartment, I want to do so equipped with a new toolbox filled with good versions of all the tools I need.
EDC reboot (to do) — I keep carrying my old, almost empty backpack around every day, as my umbrella won’t fit in my small bag. I want to get a sling bag just big enough to fit a brolly and an iPad, like the Aer Day Sling Max, and then curate a few more bits and bobs to go in it.
Figure out my career path (in progress) — I’m in a good job with a good employer and have no plan going anywhere, but nevertheless, I need to keep an eye on my future employability. The kind of roles I used to do seem to have all but disappeared, so I need to make sure I build towards something that’s a bit more sought after these days.
