I wonder if there is a system or framework out there to quantify mental energy. And how taxing some actions are on your own mental battery. Can such a thing even be quantified?

I’m back at home safe. The best event of my flight today was the SMS from the airline that my flight departs an hour earlier than planned! At this moment, I had 20 minutes left to get to the gate. Ultimately, it was a technical error, and the airplane was delayed one hour.

I’m dreaming of flying in the evening it will come true. Text in the image: Soon, I will be flying away again! You see a human looking up into the sky and seeing an airplane.

I’ve done some work on my homepage this week. My main goal was to make it easier to discover what I write. For this, I’ve added a new page showing only my long-form posts and a new Start here page where I can highlight my best work.

I’m shocked it looks like I start to like pickled vegetables. I’ve tried pickling some cucumber yesterday by following the instructions in here basically just put the cucumber in some rice vinegar with sugar. It was more sweet than vinegary.

I’ve wanted to do so many things during my holiday. But my body is not letting me. It is hard to listen to it and keep calm and give it the time to recuperate. On the other hand it is nice to have the time to relax and fill my batteries. But it is not what I planned.

It’s relaxing to lay beneath a tree and stare into the canapĆ©.

I finished watching For Life on Netflix this week. I loved the first season. Not so much the second season. I’m not sure why this is the case. I think it is because I watched the first season as fiction, and the second brings it right back to real life.
