Was feeling alright this morning with a decent amount of energy. Starting exercising again on my work break but my office is not cooling me down enough.

Currently running a program (software dev) that’s taking ages to finish so I feel like I’m not putting in enough effort but can’t do much about it.

Going to paint some miniatures and play BG3 when I get home which is always good.

Overall I’d say pretty decent and an improvement over my last week :) Just trying to make small improvements to my daily life helps in a big way.

I should be out swimming. But I’m afraid of the people in the pool. So I’m being agoraphobic and staying inside

Why are you afraid of the pool people?

Sometimes I just get into a mood where I don’t want to see other people. Trying to break myself of this habit

Day just started (europe). Had a nice bike ride into work and enjoying a lovely coffee. Workload is minimal today.

So unless anything goes wrong, it is going to be a good day.

I had the day off. In-laws are visiting, and I get on well with them. We also had my mother and her husband over for dinner. I was stressing about hosting before they got here, but everyone seemed to enjoy visiting.

After everyone went home, I read for a while and played a little Valheim. I should probably be in bed already, but that’s pretty normal. Tomorrow will be interesting; we’ve had some issues come up at work where it’s not very clear how to proceed (yay corporate America). We’re going to hash out an actual plan in the morning.

Thanks! It’s been frustrating – another team raised some (valid) security questions, but this whole thing is supposed to be a replacement for something we’re already using, so WTF? And I haven’t been able to get a manager to commit to anything concrete regarding this. I’m going to flip the script tomorrow and basically say “OK, Team X has a problem with us, so we’re going to back out of this change regardless of how painful it is”. Unless the manager is like WHOA WHOA WHOA, we’ll go with that.

The book is His Majesty’s Dragon by Naomi Novik. Basically “What if they had dragons during the Napoleonic wars?”. I’ve really been digging it. I like history (and alternate history), fantasy in general, and protagonists I can really root for. This book has that in spades, and the writing itself is nicely entertaining :D I quite recommend it.

Oh… if it is security issues, you have no choice but to deal with it. It is always the higher priority for security issues, and you have to do it quick to prevent any issues that could happen. Hope you can deal with it and forget about it.

I am not good at history, but the book sounds interesting! Will definitely look into that! Thanks for the recommendation!
