clean water for eliroseI just read “Clean water for Elirose” with my 5 year old daughter.

It was short, simple, and enlightening for my daughter. She’s well acquainted with visuals of kids starving around the world, but the book shed light on how there were real solutions on helping other kids get clean water.

I wish there were books like this for all the global issues she’ll be facing as she gets older.

the office / whiteboard

I’ve been working remotely for years, but I’ve been transitioning to a home office the past few months so I can also be with the kids more (rather than coffee shops, libraries, ikea, etc.)

Steps taken
- Brewing my own coffee more regularly
- Arranged desk for shared space (my daughter likes to work on the table with me)
- Moved my old filing cabinet – and migrated inactive folders
- Donated old encyclopedia set and migrated the shelf to my most current stash of books
- Due to my carpal tunnel – gave into a Logitech Ergonomic 4000 keyboard and Logitech Performance MX mouse earlier this year
- Ergonomically adjusted everything else i possibly could
- And the latest, bought myself a freaking huge 8×4 footer whiteboard off kijiji for $50 bucks

The last piece of the puzzle is a certain chair I’ve been inching for the past year.
