 “In the ER” Cedar Park, 2025

This morning, I headed to my local Urgent Care to get some swelling and redness in my leg checked out. The staff there took a look and were concerned enough to send me over to the ER for same-day bloodwork and treatment.

So, I ended up spending a couple of hours at the ER. The good news is that after an hour and a half, I got a diagnosis: cellulitis. It’s what we all suspected, so at least that wasn’t a surprise. I’ve now got a prescription for antibiotics, and I’m really hoping they kick in quickly so I can get back to my regular life.

Lately, I’ve been enjoying going for walks in the neighborhood while listening to audiobooks. It’s so relaxing and fun. Highly recommend! And I also can recommend Shokz headphones. They are really comfy and safe for running/walking since they don’t block your ear canal, so you can hear traffic and other potential hazards.

I bought a small HEPA air filter for my home office because I’ve been dealing with allergies for the past few weeks. I’m trying to reduce airborne allergens, including pet dander, and I hope it helps. At the very least, it can’t hurt. Plus, it’s cute!

 “Planner” Cedar Park 2025

I recently bought a monthly paper planner to explore the world of non-digital planning. Right now, I’m figuring out how it integrates with my digital planning and journaling. To start, I plan to use it for tracking upcoming vacations and noting small wins throughout the day. While researching, I found it interesting that many people use paper planners as a logbook for reflection, while digital planners focus on future events. That approach makes sense to me, so I’m curious to see how my system evolves!
