Less than 10 weeks left in the year!

My reluctance to be on my laptop during the weekends means that these weekly review posts are always a bit late but oh well.

The temperature has been fluctuating between warm and suddenly cold and everyone is hurrying to get their flu shots.

It’s finally starting to feel like fall but I’m worried that the transition from sweltering to chilly was a bit too abrupt. Either way I’m all too happy to sink into spooky books and drink more tea that usual.

Decided to switch the Week Links into a Weeknotes post inspired by others that I’ve seen people doing.

A bit late (it’s already week 40) but I did find a few new (to me) links while floating through the web last week along with some older ones that are worth sharing.

Or: A rambling mini retrospective about leaving social reading sites and switching to a personal database for peace of mind.

One of my favorite things of Ye Olde Blog formats was seeing people share posts with links or sites that they found interesting or noteworthy.

I’d like to include that on a weekly basis so here goes ✨

This is a first draft of my plans to pursue a low buy year for 2024.

I’ve already started to implement some of these from the beginning of September and throughout the coming months leading up to 2024 I will be reflecting and adjusting based on what I’ve noticed so far. That way I can start the year with a strong base.

After years of trying not to overspend month after month, I finally came to the realization that helped me stop spending so much money on things I didn’t need.

I accepted that my not being able to afford things is largely in part to these things being too expensive (often exploitatively overpriced) and not because I don’t have enough money.
