Hi! I'm Esther, and I like to do stuff, all kinds of stuff. This site is basically a way to track different hobbies as they progress. In general covering hobbies that are either supporting normal life needs, or pet projects that make me happy! You will likely notice some seasonal variation in the hobbies. I live in Edmonton, Alberta, which has a fairly noticeable summer/winter divide. In summer, you will likely see updates about gardening, camping, hiking, running, and paddling. In winter, you will see a lot of updates about quilting, weaving, baking, pets, and home renovations.
When I'm not working on hobbies, I am a civil/environmental engineer supporting operating and maintenance for water and wastewater infrastructure. Some days don't feel like much progress is being made, and it is nice to have a set of hobbies to come home to, where you can work on something and see physical progress. There's nothing quite like getting something done to make you happier after a day of meetings!
This site took a bit of a break (5 years) due to some major life changes. I’m hoping journaling via this site can help me stay grounded and sane and have a way to track progress on my personal goals and push for better work-life balance!
