2025: Week 43
won’t. stop. eating.
Notes from the day
Mon, Oct 20
Coming home after a long family trip always leaves me with a bit of sepanx (or separation anxiety). I used to wish I could just switch it off, but now I take it as a good sign. Missing something that much only means it was real, and it mattered.

My toxic trait is thinking I can podium at Gravelton (or any race for that matter) next year.
Wed, Oct 22
Celebrating my wife’s actual birthday today. I haven’t stopped eating so much since Friday last week and a very busy day at work didn’t help. I think I was eating my feelings throughout the evening.
Thu, Oct 23
Learned a new acronym at work today, DAISM. Initially thought it was a religion of some sort only to be told it stood for Data and AI Success Management instead.
Booked a reservation at an all-you-can-eat place for my dad’s birthday this weekend. Guess the excessive food intake isn’t stopping any time soon.

Read this morning from A Social Life, With Friends:
Model the behaviour you wish to receive — if you want an invitation, send them. If you want others to listen, ask questions. If you want to be shown kindness, be kind. You cannot expect something from others that you don’t offer yourself.
It was hard to pick just one as there were so many gems in the blog entry.

I’ve been trying to cherish every loved one’s birthday lately and really be there, present in the moment and really taking it in. Maybe it’s age or just awareness catching up, but I’m starting to accept that our time with the people we love is limited. Every laugh, every candle, every “remember when” feels a little more precious now.

Finally able to go on a bike ride to burn all those calories gained from eating non-stop since last week.
Played a very pixelated Time Crisis arcade game with our 11-year-old son which he surprisingly enjoyed.
