December 31, 2025

Stats

★ I went to the gym 10 times. I got sick again at the beginning of the month, with what I'm assuming is the same thing I had earlier this winter but never fully got over. I did not work on my bench this month and have been doing a lot of gentle yoga to not overdo it. I'm mad about it.

★ I read 4 books.

• The Philosopher's Pupil by Iris Murdoch - Loved this one!
• Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen - DNF
• Diamond Dogs, Turquoise Days by Alastair Reynolds - Loved Diamond Dogs, did not love Turquoise Days
• The Infernal Machine by Steven Johnson

★ I watched 1 movie.

• Memento - I hated it. To be fair, my husband was going to watch it without me but I was sick on the couch and didn't feel like picking something else.

★ I finished 0 crafts or personal projects.

I'm at a critical point in a sweater, though. So I'll either be wearing it next week or will be crying and frogging it. Knitting is fun!

I created a goals page for 2026. I took some time off from work at the end of the year so I've made some good progress on my HTML course. I'm counting the liminal space between Christmas and the new year as 2026.

★ I finished 0 video games.

But I did put in some super serious Fallout 4 time. I spent about an hour one day trying to see if there was a house roughly where my house is. There isn't. They did include my dog's favorite walking path! So she is Fallout canon and I am not.

This was another month that felt kind of like hibernating. Sometimes your body just needs the rest. I was happy to knock some more books out and get my house clean while I took a break from work.
