Looking back at week 4 of the year, what stands out:
Birthdays
2 nephews and 2 cousins had birthdays this past week. Unfortunately for me I didn’t get to see them, or spend time with them on their birthdays. Happy birthday to Sean, Felipe, Charlie, and Marcos.
Other
Started the week out with a dental procedure, got a couple of fillings. First time since I had not been since prior to this year I had not been to the dentist in about 16 years.
Work wise, it was a less hectic week over all, as most of the reporting from year end and quarter is now behind me.
House Work
I continued on a project that I had started a couple years back and had not really stepped up to finish. Since one of my goals is this year is to finish things I started, I decided it was time to step up and work on it. This being my living room entertainment center / bookshelves. This project was inspired by a piece my Wife and I saw at hotel while in France in 2018, with the exception that we wanted to build it natural wood color.

The reason I had taken so long to step up to finish this project, is as any amateur woodworker would tell you sanding is pain in the ass when you don’t have a dust collection system, and the only space you can do it is in the garage. Well I did quite a bit of sanding, this week and that got my garage looking like a hot mess, dust all over the place. Given that my garage is a multi-purpose space: gym, woodshed, storage place, laundry room, and garage I needed to clean the space up (somewhat). Ended up buying a portable canopy to start sanding out in the back yard, I need to keep my garage tidy enough to use.

Weekend
Over the weekend bung out with friends and family. Saturday night we went into Fort Lauderdale to eat some food at (ramen place name) and the went out to get a couple drinks at Foxy Brown. One note there was a bartender at Foxy Brown who took his job a little too seriously, wouldn’t let anyone order more than one drink at a time, without multiple identification, to be honest he kinda got on my nerves.
Sunday, went over to visit my mother in law. She had made some arroz con pollo, which was pretty freaking good, will have to ask for the recipe one of these days. Then we went out to Pembroke Gardens to walk off the food.
That was pretty much my week over all.
