I just woke up so I’ll talk about yesterday. I made a very solid self-development plan for 2026 and I feel proud of it. I have general anxiety so I tend to overthink and overcomplicate things, but I think I kept it as minimal and realistic as possible. I’m trying to focus on progress over perfection, so I feel relieved not to have the pressure to be “done” by the end of every month. I’m mainly doing this because it helps to know what comes next and that I’m waking up every day with a plan. Otherwise, I get overwhelmed with what to do and experience executive dysfunction. So I’m happy that I took some time for myself, reflected deeply, and invested in my future :)

When I got really fucking high and played video games.

As for me, today’s the day I’m leaving my job. In about 4 hours, I’ll be done. Then, with a 4-day Pongal holiday ahead, I’m devoting all that time to one of my dream projects. Once the break is over, I’ll start looking for a new job. Feeling excited and ready for what’s next!

My favourite part of today is about to come in half an hour when we eat the burritos for which we prepared the filling in the morning today

Installing lubuntu to my old laptop

Taking an exam about copyright, it was easy

I went to the Franklin Institute! It was still cool! I somehow do not remember the huge train despite it being there since like the 1930s! I did remember the walk through heart! Still there! Still cool! Too fat to fit though!

Lots of kids but I survived. Kids are more tolerable when at locations meant for kids!

heaaaart!!!

Reading Connected Places and being reminded that the Fediverse is truly one of the greatest technical-social innovations in recent history. And we get to be part of it :)

Discovering that I can, with measure, work a half day this morning without paying too dearly for it.

Recovery is slow, I was afraid I wouldn’t achieve it.

I was much happier before I woke up.

Seeing my puppy dog run around with his toy like he has no cares in the world.

Waiting to board a plane and then I’m going to nap so hard. I should get some jet engine wash tracks for sleeping normally at home. I am usually asleep before the plane takes off.

Favourite part is always reading in a hot bath in silence at the end of the night.

Coffee

Watching my cats fly halfway across the room in pursuit of their toys and then having them lay down by my side asking for cuddles. Adopting them a few weeks ago has given my life so much meaning and joy.
