NOW

This is what I’m doing now:

Project Management

Still at it, but now I’m at Duracell. Varied projects that range from

  • SAP customization
  • Rolling out a new corporate card program across the company
  • RFPs to select new vendors
  • Oversight integration
  • Celonis integration
  • Integrating Third Party Apps for our business/ finance users
  • UIPath migration to the Cloud

Reading

  • Finished
    • Primal Intelligence: You Are Smarter Than You Know – Not a business book, but more of a life book, I think. It falls into the same category as Mindset or The Art of Possibility. This is a book I need to sit on and think more about. The insights about how to manage your brain and your decision-making are worth the time spent reading it.
    • Inner Compass – Another non-business book, but more a life book. The book is about self-awareness and how to improve it. Another book to reflect on. Highly recommended as well.
  • In Progress
    • To Shape a Dragon’s Breath
    • Einstein in Kafkaland
    • The Two Towers – I feel as if this is just going to sit on the bathroom shelf for months
    • The Silmarillion – Same
    • Whatever else grabs my attention https://www.librarything.com/profile/remikit

Exercising

Five – Six Days a Week

  • My workouts are the same set of exercises I’ve been doing
    • Weights, Bodyweight, Yoga, Spinning, Dancing, Cardio, Qi Gong, Pilates
    • I signed up for a Gym to include workouts with machines
    • I’ve joined a Gym called HotWorx – which is working out in a sauna. They have Yoga, Cycling, Bands, Barre, an elliptical type bike and a rowing machine. This is fabulous in the wintertime. They say that I will get leaner in this heat – so I’m hoping. We’ll see how it goes this winter.
  • I signed up for Les Mills On Demand. They have great Yoga, Pilates, Core, Dance and Cardio workouts.

Learning

My focus this quarter:
I’m trying to improve my Japanese reading

  • With WaniKani help – (still on Level 12 of 60) and
  • Nihongo Life – they have a Patreon and a slew of YouTube Videos
  • Just found a set of videos from someone called Cure Dolly that I wish I had found earlier. Highly recommended
  • Reading Manga

Socials

Knitting/ Crochet

As usual, I have multiple projects going at the same time.

I joined the Into the Hood Mystery Knitalong. I decided to knit with two colors. It’s going to be a lot brighter than my typical project – https://ravel.me/remikit/ithamkala

I finished the Cape Clear Cowl. The yarn is a beautiful burgundy with flecks of green, blue and pink. https://ravel.me/remikit/ccc

Continuing to work on another sweater – the Bere by Stolen Stitches. Lots of cables…lots of unraveling and reworking rows…


I keep casting on other projects! I really need the Chicago Winter Blues ‘Dicky’ now, so it has moved up in priority. I’ve finished the front of the Dicky up to the top of the front cable. I’ve started the back. It is a strange pattern – it has me picking up to work the shoulders then the back.

I’ve also started the Galway Blanket.

  • Practice writing
