I’m heading into my fourth weekend in a row of being sick. Beyond just the physical implications, it’s getting to the point where it’s starting to negatively impact my mental and emotional health. I’m growing weary and frustrated with not being able to do what I’d like to be doing.

Thanks for the reminder to wrap up my work day.

Today is the first day in about a month where I feel like I might be turning a corner with my health. I’m really desperate to feel better and actually have some energy. 🙏

The moment you go down the path of gratitude grievances, you’ll see ungrateful ghosts everywhere.

Capture less than you create

Not a great day today. I’ve been in bed all day feeling terribly sick. Unfortunately I got “glutened” while out for dinner last night which is not a good thing for someone with Celiac Disease like myself.

Over the past week, I’ve heard of several companies that have decided to eliminate the Scrum Master role, and one also cut the Product Owner role. They reassigned all SM and PO responsibilities to their Product Development Managers. Is this becoming a common trend in SAFe/Agile organizations?

🍿 I’ve never been one for horror movies, but I’m feeling the pull to venture into the unknown this month 👻🎃🐈‍⬛. If anyone has some recommendations on where I should take my first step into the haunted house of horror, I’m open to your suggestions!

Our neighborhood schools have been on high alert and forced to endure indoor recess this week due to sightings of bears and coyotes roaming the neighborhood. They’ve always lived in this area, but recent (and ongoing) construction is forcing them out of their habitat and into the community. ☹️

I have not felt well for weeks. I’ve had a couple weekends stolen from me where all I could do was lay in bed but other than that, it hasn’t been too extreme. But, I just can’t seem to get on top of it and have struggled with a persistent malaise. Hard to focus on anything when you don’t feel well.😩

I’m all caught up on my other shows so I’m finally starting to watch Shōgun. 📺
