Life Lately...

Image
This is what life is like lately... I get up before 7AM, even if I go to bed anywhere between 1AM and 3AM.  Yup, I can never sleep in because it's too bright and my housemates are up and about.  My sleep has suffered lately because we are rushing important tasks at work and I can't predict what time I can leave for the day. Mornings are all about Neil getting ready for school.  Bath and breakfast needs to be done by 8AM.  Typically, Richard will drive him and yaya to school in the mornings, but on Wednesdays, I take them via taxi because Rich leaves early (number-coding).  Then I get a few hours of personal time, which is occupied by QT, chores, bath,  exercise, Internet,  cooking food for lunch/dinner (by 10AM) before I head out and pick Neil up at 11:30AM. We would have lunch at home and then I take my nap before going to work at 3PM (or as soon as I can muster enough willpower to get out of bed).  I have been struggling with gett...

Workflow Matters

One key challenge that has prevented me from posting is workflow related to pictures. A few years ago, I had a really good one. I used Picasa desktop version to edit, direct upload to Google photos, and then linked the photos in Blogger. It was streamlined and easy, and the main reason I stayed with Blogger when most people have moved to Wordpress or some new, sexier platforms. A few things that broke this workflow: Picasa has been discontinued by Google and there is no comparable option. It was free, easy to use and had very useful features. Most editing software now have fees/subscriptions. Taking more photos using my phone vs. the digital camera. I had a very organized folder structure for pictures taken with the digicam and they're saved in the laptop + external drive. Ideally I want phone photos from the same event or dates to be in one folder, but I haven't figured out a way to efficiently do this. I transitioned to a MacBook last year and now have to deal with the quirks...

Where do we go from here?

Hello, blog! It's been very quiet here. No posts in 2021, which is sad.  I don't remember things/events very well which is why I like writing things down on my paper planner and taking pictures. The app that I consistently use on my phone is Timehop because I enjoy getting reminded of the past through pictures and videos. I'm on a 1500+ day streak! With the kids, it has been awesome/bittersweet to see how much they've grown. However, some things are not sufficiently captured by notes on a planner or pictures -- state of mind, current perspectives, events, challenges and inspirations. A friend's blog post linked on Facebook prompted me to revisit this site and consider its future. In the past, this was my way of documenting events primarily for me and eventually for the kids to look back on. I think that will continue, but maybe inject more stories here and there. Also, I spend too much time online scrolling mindlessly through people's posts. This will help me sh...
