It’s been a more enjoyable week after the short break. A nice mix of work and getting back into old routines. I even went for a personal training session this week (and am still regretting it because of how sore I am!).
I received several emails from readers/listeners of the podcast and I have to say, it absolutely makes my week. If you have any feedback or just want to say hi, drop me an email or voice message. Especially if you have ay highlights from the newsletter or podcast.
Last weeks article on Medium seems to be doing well outside of the readership of the newsletter. I received a surprise notification that it’s earnt a few dollars on there. I’ve never really thought of myself as a writer before so it feels a bit strange having a platform that’s monetised my writing. I know I’ve seen $0.02 from there, but this felt a bit different. I think because I don’t really promote Medium articles much, it’s being FOUND and read.
Maybe I’ll have to keep up this writing thing after all. And consider myself an author now?! 🤣
On the 2022 calendar front, there seems to have been the inevitable delays in getting the orders last week. I’m hoping they will be physically with me in the next few days so I can start packing and shipping them out to folks soon.
The on-call last week made me feel really old with just how long it took to recover from. On the Monday, I was feeling super spontaneous (read: delirious) and decided on a whim to go watch a comedy show by Nazeem Hussain. Interestingly, he is actually friends with the surgeon I was working with that afternoon!
It was quite an interesting show in that it was a trial to see if new material would work in standup. I can’t wait to see the final version in a few months and try to recognise the original ideas from this show.
On the cat front, I caught both the cats looking conspiratorially at me the other day. I was almost in stitches given that they both looked like they were in the middle of some serious talks when I interrupted for the photo 😂
