I was just thinking about the team lunch next week. We should probably decide on a menu soon. I recall someone mentioned a preference for vegetarian options, which is a good idea to include. Maybe we could do a build-your-own sandwich and salad bar That usually works for diverse tastes. I need to check with the catering service about their current offerings. They had a nice selection of breads last time. Whole grain, ciabatta, and those soft pretzel rolls. For salads, a simple mixed greens base with a variety of toppings like cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, shredded carrots, and maybe some chickpeas for protein. Dressings on the side, always. I think a vinaigrette and a creamy option would suffice. For drinks, we usually get sparkling water, still water, and some iced tea. Coffee after, of course. I'll draft an email to the team to gather any other dietary notes. It's important everyone feels included. On a different note, my garden is finally starting to show some life. The tomato seedlings I planted are getting their first true leaves. I'm hoping for a good harvest this year if the weather holds. Last year the squirrels were a bit of a problem. I'm trying a new natural deterrent this season. It's a mix of spices that apparently they don't like. We'll see how it goes. Planning a garden is a lot like planning a project. You prepare the ground, plant the seeds, and then tend to it regularly, adjusting as needed. Not everything grows as expected, but you learn for the next cycle. I find it relaxing. It's a good break from screen time. Speaking of breaks, I've been trying to take a short walk in the afternoons. It helps clear my head. There's a path near the office that goes around a small pond. Sometimes there are ducks. It's a simple pleasure. Back to work topics, the quarterly review documents are due soon. I should block some time on my calendar to compile my section. The template they provided is quite detailed. It asks for project milestones, metrics, and lessons learned. I think the lessons learned part is the most valuable. It's a chance to reflect on what worked and what could be improved. Continuous improvement, that's the goal. I remember a book I read about iterative processes. The idea was to make small, consistent adjustments rather than waiting for a major overhaul. It applies to so many things. Cooking, for instance. You rarely get a recipe perfect on the first try. You adjust the seasoning, the cooking time, the technique slightly each time. My grandmother never used written recipes. It was all by feel and taste. I try to write things down when I cook, but it's never quite the same. There's an art to it that defies precise measurement. Like the pinch of salt that makes all the difference. Or knowing exactly when the onions are caramelized enough. It's a practiced skill. I should cook more often. It's easy to get into a routine of simple meals. Trying a new recipe once a week could be a good personal goal. Maybe start with something straightforward, like a new soup or a pasta dish. Soups are forgiving. You can add a bit of this and that. Anyway, the afternoon is getting on. I need to send that email about the lunch and then focus on the review prep. One thing at a time. Step by step. That's the way to manage the workload without feeling overwhelmed. I'll make a quick list to prioritize. Team lunch communication first, then review data gathering. After that, I can look at the project plan for next week. It's all about keeping the plates spinning, as they say. But in a calm, controlled manner. No need for rush. Steady progress is key. I also need to remember to water those tomato plants when I get home. Consistency is important for them too.
