Week 32/2024

The last few days of my summer break are up, and I’m back to work.

WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING

1.

The crown on my chipped tooth came off only a couple of months after the procedure. It appears that the tooth has broken further, and there doesn’t seem to be any discernible reasonable why. The crown has been re-attached, but the doctor told me the whole thing is very weak now. I was terrified and frustrated, and this incident coloured my entire week. On Monday morning, I went back to the dentist in a calmer frame of mind to understand what the next steps might look like, and I am feeling a little more at peace now.

2.

I spent a couple of days preparing my next newsletter issue, which will go out early in a couple of days. You can sign up for that here.

3.

I have rediscovered my love of baking after spending time with Tanya last week, and made chocolate yogurt snack cakes after returning from Ladakh, and blueberry muffins after work today. Amber and I were racking our brains over when we used our muffin tin last — it has at least been four years! I’m very happy to put it through the paces once again.

4.

Despite two weeks of break, I do not feel very rejuvenated, or inspired to go back to work. With that being what it is, I tried to make a strong start to the week, getting calls and meetings out of the way in the morning, and immersing myself in a big chunk of TypeTogether work right off the bat.

5.

Prateek and Rhea are in town for a short visit, and I am really looking forward to spending time with them.
