[My Day in Three](https://schoonens.social/categories/mdit/) for today:

1. I prepared Sunday morning breakfast for the family as I was awake almost an hour before them. I’m missing my Sunday long runs, which I used to do after breakfast.
2. I had breakfast with my wife, and I headed out to the ‘Soesterduinen’ for a nice, long walk in the snow and in the woods. We enjoyed lunch in a [restaurant (Dutch)](https://www.soesterduinen.nl/brasserie/) along the way. I’ve got my small Ricoh camera along and took some pictures of the landscape along the way.
3. On Sundays, I’m usually the chef in the kitchen, including this Sunday. I prepared an easy meal for the four of us, and enjoyed the rest of the family joining me in the kitchen for a drink while I was preparing dinner. All in all, it was a lovely and relaxing Sunday today; now on to the following week.

1. Today was a regular Saturday, where the morning was filled with grocery shopping. In the afternoon, my wife and I walked about 5 km. The weather was still lovely and cold.
2. I bake pancakes in the afternoon for my daughter and her girlfriend, who stayed over for dinner.
3. I watched the [The Roses](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/1267905) with my wife tonight. What a terrible movie. 🍿

[My Day in Three](https://schoonens.social/categories/mdit/) for today:

1. Happy Friday! I was in the office today and had a virtual meeting with our product marketing leader in Barcelona to review a presentation with receipts from a design agency. My storyline for this presentation is coming together really well, and I look forward to seeing the next version.
2. Our neighbors came for dinner tonight, and my wife cooked the delicious lasagna.
3. I went down the rabbit hole of DIY appliances as I need a replacement drill. I’m probably going to switch to Makita, since I already have four rechargeable batteries from them. Buying a Makita drill without the battery pack saves quite a bit of money.

[My Day in Three](https://schoonens.social/categories/mdit/) for today:

1. First day in the office this week, it was good to finally leave the house to see some colleagues in person again.
2. On my way home from work, I picked up my son at his girlfriend’s place. We had a 20-minute drive home from there and had some pleasant father-son conversations in the car.
3. I finished them over to admin in the evening and updated my self-hosted [actual budget](https://actualbudget.org) database. I’m currently manually importing transactions from CSV files I download from my bank. I want to figure out if there are other ways to do this without needing a third-party subscription.

[My Day in Three](https://schoonens.social/categories/mdit/) for today:

1. I worked from home again today because of the weather. Tomorrow should be better, and I plan to go to the office.
2. My workday was very productive. I had a few hours to work on my presentations, and the afternoon was packed with meetings. This is how I prefer my work schedule. The mornings are for important topics to me, and the afternoons are for important topics to others.
3. The evening was filled with chores around the house and conversations with the kids about school. Raising teenagers is not easy. The hardest part is figuring out where to put the guardrails to support and protect them in their decisions.
