Weekly Notes 21/2025

It was mostly kids and me at home this week. Managing full-time work, kids, and housework by myself was tough. Four kids (okay, one human toddler, a parent, and two pets) are a handful, even when you have regular support. But thanks to a friend and sibling who live close by, I could...
