I’ve started Wednesday W’s as a way to give short updates of how I use my (new) extra day off per week. I am curious about what I will do with that extra day, and think blogging about it might prompt me to make sure I take advantage of it.
When did I wake up: With the alarm, to attend a 7 AM video meeting.
Who am I spending time with: My Kleenex box and cough drops, as I managed to pick up a viral illness while traveling. I also checked in on my mom, who lives in the path of the blizzard that hit the Northeast.
What did I do for work: Lots and lots of catch up after my week away. Phone calls, and emails, and labs galore.
What project am I working on, now I have time: I uploaded about half of the forms my accountant needs to file taxes for 2025.
What did I do to “fill my bucket:” I rested in between sessions at the computer. I did not have the energy to work on a blog post today.
What else was good about today: Having a Monday to catch up on messages made my vacation feel just that little bit longer.
What’s made me laugh:
