Week 2: Omek
Sunday, January 14, 2024 This week marked the week I got back into the swing of things at work. I tend to find the holiday season quite boring because things slow down quite a bit.

Week 1: Miracle mornings
Sunday, January 7, 2024 A somewhat quiet week, mostly spent at the office because Anja’s on winter break, although I did enjoy spending time at Coffee Company Oosterdok as well.

Week 47: Geert Milders
Saturday, November 25, 2023 Covid It’s curious to see my response to a bout of Covid is not much different from what it was in early 2020.

Week 46: Osama
Sunday, November 19, 2023 I’m making an attempt this week to make my weeknotes more of a personal record rather than a performance of how exciting my week is.

Week 39: Small escapes
Sunday, October 1, 2023 First of all: not a great week. I continue to struggle to notice when I feel stresed or overwhelmed, and it never fails to result in my body giving me a clear sign.

Week 37: Rosh Hashanah
Sunday, September 17, 2023 Cooler temperatures! After the hottest week I’ve experienced in months, things were back to comfortable Summer weather. By the time I’m writing this the sky is gray and it’s raining, but this week’s weather was cheerful and moderate.

Week 36: Homecoming
Sunday, September 10, 2023 IT IS HOT STOP CLIMATE CHANGE NOW. I don’t think I’ve seen hotter days this year than week 36. Getting out of a hot shower and feeling equally wet fifteen minutes later.

Week 34: Somerlust
Sunday, August 27, 2023 Met Tim Bleeker at Somerlust Park on Tuesday, a get-together that started as “chilling in the park”, and which turned into grabbing a drink at l’Osteria.

Week 33: Landing
Sunday, August 20, 2023 The first week back at work is fairly quiet, I even found myself on the verge of boredom at one point.

Week 27: Haven
Sunday, July 9, 2023 This week, I attended my first Gerimedica party. It’s great to know I can expect a big celebration every year, and not just for the company’s sweet sixteen.
Continue reading
Week 26: Keti Koti
Saturday, July 1, 2023 Two months of onboarding have rushed by in a blink. The new job is absolutely wonderful: the people are great, the work is complex and important, and the office itself is perhaps the finest I’ve ever worked at.
Continue reading
Week 11: Meeting Patrick
Sunday, March 26, 2023 I got to meet one of my Internet heroes this week: Patrick Rhone and his family were on a Europe trip, and I was lucky enough to catch the planning stage on his blog right in time to extend an invitation.

Week 10: Outings
Sunday, March 12, 2023 It snowed a few times this week and I was as baffled as I always am to see it happening in March.

Week 51: The piano
Sunday, December 25, 2022 Happy Hanukkah and/or Christmas to those who celebrate! Even though our house is (reluctantly) multi-religious, we forgot just about every tradition we were ever taught for this time of the year.
Continue reading
Week 47: Booster
Sunday, November 27, 2022 I forgot how the COVID booster can make you feel as though, temporarily, the world may well be ending. I got it earlier this week, and it left me with a sore arm and that dreadful, ridiculous sensation that accompanies a flu that lasts a week too long.
Continue reading
Week 44: Coat
Sunday, November 6, 2022 The weather has officially reached a temperature that requires me to buy a new coat. I dread it. Unlike most other types of clothing, coats and jackets never seem to suit me, regardless of the style.

Week 16: Springtime holidays
Saturday, April 23, 2022 Each year I’m less embarrassed to say it: I don’t like that stretch of time during the Dutch Springtime when no work week is normal.

Week 15: Ironic
Sunday, April 17, 2022 Brushing my teeth on Friday morning, I think about the weekend ahead, secretly complaining that my social engagements will keep me from getting the rest I need.
Continue reading
Week 13: Recruiting
Saturday, April 2, 2022 It has been snowing in Amsterdam. As the years go by, I’m having trouble understanding whether I’m experiencing the effects of global warming, or whether I’ve never paid attention to what was always in front of me until now.
Continue reading
Week 12: Bonsoihoir
Saturday, March 26, 2022 The tourists are back in town. Lots of Germans with face masks. I suppose we’re all beginning to venture out into the world again, just a bit closer to home.
Continue reading
Week 15: Streak
Sunday, April 18, 2021 I am on a 33-day streak picking my teeth before bed. I’ve designed a temptation bundle, pairing the activity with a few minutes of garbage television.

Week 2: Home office
Sunday, January 17, 2021 I’m terrible at keeping it a secret: my favorite time in the week is when A works from home. We spent the past month building a home office in a one-bedroom apartment, and I’m happy about the result.

Sunday seeds
Sunday, December 22, 2013 If you ever happen to find yourself in the sleepy fishing town of IJmuiden: the fish, service, atmosphere, and cheesecake in the fish restaurant De Meerplaats are all very pleasant.
