Mistakes I've made

Uh oh!

  • Dude. Jogging just started feeling easy.

    Describing what is working for me now, and what in retrospect didn't work when I tried c25k.

    • Life mistake: the house renovation that ate most of my savings

      It’s hard to write this mistake post, but it should go into my mistakes folder, as it was the most directly expensive mistake of my life (as opposed to indirectly expensive, due to opportunity cost). When I remember the major decision points, my mind tends to flinch off the thought like some jumping insect.

      • I can cook only some of the time??

        On nights my partner-who-cooks makes food, I do the cleanup, and vice versa. Last night he cooked a meal none of us liked much, which felt fine, but in the process generated an unusual number of dirty dishes, which did not. I simmered about this. On the subsequent morning, my two partners started discussing where to buy lunch from with no acknowledgement of the leftovers.

        • Plan a small event before you go to a big meetup

          I moved to Berkeley 3 months ago, and my social network is still crystallizing. I went to a large ACX meetup yesterday and obtained the individual contacts of people I liked. Those contacts are sitting at the top of my chat app, stressing me out a little.
