Time off August 2023

≡

It’s summer break 2023! It’s late August and our last chance to get a vacation before the kids go back to school. We were going to go to Chilliwack to try a deli run by a small jewish cult, but alas it’s like 100 degrees so we’re going to to coast instead!

To get the most out of my time off, I’m going to follow my best practice of pre-writing what I want to get done, and adjust it as I go. This is a combination of time off, and all the stuff for happiness, which I guess gets tangled up with half of my evergreen notes.

Humorously, I can just copy much of my todo from last year as it’s pretty similar!

My top priorities
