Woke up feeling energized even though I got less than my recommended 8 hours of sleep. I have the day off tomorrow, so the plan for today is to leave things in a good state while I’m out, and maybe drag a coworker into one of my meetings. I’m continuing my mastery of Tailwind CSS.…

That was a nice ending to Shogun. Today I’m expecting some more computing equipment to arrive. Looking forward to setting that up. I’m also hoping to wrap up a cool project at work, and will meet with Liza about Fiber Club. More cleaning. Always cleaning.

It’s Shogun finale day.

Very tired today. The interior house work is officially done today. It should feel like a relief, but the notary public just came to the house today so I could sign loans for money that I need for even more house work outside. So it doesn’t feel like a win. It just feels like the…

Yesterday was a busy day. Spent most of my day reading through all the code my team produced during the week I was out. That ended up taking longer than I thought, but I think it was time well spent. I was able to figure out who is doing well, who is struggling, and who…
