Christmas labels<\/h2>\n

\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I spent the week learning about my tools.<\/strong> I don’t like barely figuring out what I’m doing each time I make these labels, so since I have time, I decided to learn a little more properly. Maybe I can get the labels made this week.<\/p>\n

Life maintenance<\/h2>\n

I got some recalls on my car fixed.<\/strong> The first recall was announced around the beginning of the year (an airbag and seatbelt malfunction\u2014kind of important!), but the fix wasn’t ready until about the time the lockdowns started. I’ve been procrastinating since then, but my family has been carefully planning a vacation together for Christmas, and I didn’t want to put off the repairs till the last minute before the big road trip.<\/p>\n

That’s the point we’ve gotten to\u2014a trip to the mechanic is the sole notable moment of my week. At the same time, it does feel like an accomplishment, because I’ve somehow gotten even worse about putting off practical tasks.<\/p>\n

Politics<\/h2>\n

I added more political podcasts to try.<\/strong> I was already listening to too many, but I decided that in addition to keeping my cool while waiting for the election to be finalized<\/a>, I wanted to hear from pundits across the political spectrum. I added some more on the right and a couple from further left.<\/p>\n

Right:<\/strong><\/p>\n
