Want a change in the weather. I woke up to rain and cooler weather over night. Work went well. I made tacos for dinner from the slow cooked beef I made yesterday. Planning to stay up later tonight to watch a movie.

 It was a nice easy day at work. I hope tomorrow is this easy to end the week on a good note. The sun was out this afternoon. Jumped in the pool during my lunch break. Today is the first time using an Instapot. I used it as a slow cooker. And it did what it supposed to do. This thing is to replace a lot of kitchen gadgets. I live in a small house and space is a premium.

The bird house is still vacant. Hopefully a bird will make it a home.

 A beautiful morning for a bike ride to work. The cool morning air was nice. The return trip was an inferno at 88°F. Work went well enough. My yearly appraisal was today. I met with my temp team lead and the director of IT.  We spent over 2 hours discussing how to make the group better and my contributions to my team and department. It went very well, and another meeting was scheduled to discuss compensation.

Once at home I jumped into the pool to cool off and spent the rest of the day in there.

I rode my bike today to work at 5 am. The sky was bright before sunrise, you can see its reflection on it mirror surface. Work went very well. Tomorrow is my yearly appraisal. Going to fight for a raise and promotion to team lead for our group.

 Another good day at work. My new work plan is working well. Beautiful day and should continue for the rest of the week. I’m planning to ride my bike to work and enjoy this gorgeous week. I went swimming and read outside before bed.

I took the kids to Snoqualmie for a bike ride this morning. We arrived at 7:30 am. It was a bit cold for the kids but warmed in in an hour. We discovered an abandoned camping area with fire pits. I am going to research it since it is on Federal Land.

 Finished the bird house project. A bit late but it is completed and installed. The house has a camera inside so if a bird uses it, we can watch them. My daughter is excited and hopes it will be used this year. If not, we will have to wait till next year.

☀️ 81°F – 47°F 🙂 | Seattle

 Nice warm day. My work plan is going strong. I went swimming in the pool and enjoyed a book outside next to the fire before bed. Planning the weekend. Thinking of going on a hiking trip in Central Washington.

 My new work strategy is working well. I accomplished all my work, household duties, and spent more time enjoying the day. I had time to swim, play board games and read with the kids. We will see how it goes tomorrow.
