Okay, so today was a rest day from the gym and I didn't really want a rest day. Handed to me by the class I took yesterday. It was called Stride X Strength. But I didn't realize that stride meant we were going to be on a treadmill. So I did more running than I've done in the last five years. Like, oh, you're going to stay at five miles an hour, you're going to go up to seven, and you're going to end at nine. Fuck no. I started at five, I went down to two, I went to two and a half, and I lasted fifteen seconds. That shit was not happening. Then we went to the upper body, and you know, I've been working out hard for the last few months, like really putting in the work. And my legs. I hate working on my upper body, which is why I wanted to do this. I wanted the upper body core strength thing to fit in there. But man, that kicked. Dumbbells everywhere. First you did supinated rows, then you went to bicep curls and then you went to reverse presses, shoulder presses, and then you looped it all together over and over and over. Okay, cool. Then you get back on the fucking treadmill, and then you do some more running, and then you end up laying on your back doing chest presses, and then you had to do like dead bugs. Oh my fucking god, dude. Listen, this class. I haven't sweat that much. I love working out and I love sweating, but I was defeated. And that just ruined my whole day yesterday.
So today, between Monday's workout and now I'm done. I woke up and said absolutely fucking not going to the gym, which was fine. I took the morning, didn't eat any breakfast. But I have a new harvest of alfalfa sprouts, so we're excited about that. Got a ton this time, way more than last time. Super nutty, super delicious. Ate them and took care of all the plants, made sure everything's going. I have it all set up in Home Assistant, and I'm still working out the kinks. It's fragile. I really just kind of hooked everything into Zigbee and said you know, let's go. Let's just do it. Been an interesting thing, but I'm figuring it out.
Spent my morning just chilling, and it's been weird sleeping in the new apartment because the airflow is not very great. Cold on one side, super hot on the other. Which kind of sucks. I keep having weird dreams. This morning I had this dream that I keep having for a couple of years, which is driving me fucking crazy. And I hadn't really thought of my brother in a long time. It was like I was giving him something and it really just pissed me the fuck off when I woke up.
Then I went to work and when I got there, there's a TV sitting on my desk. I was like, okay, I guess they want me to swap the TV. The one I swapped was the broken one. So I ended up having to swap it twice, which was a waste of my fucking time. And then in the process I found out that my new hire is a fucking idiot but he broke a TV that's there, which really just fucking pissed me off. Like, these new employees, they're stupid, man. They just make stupid decisions. Much shit about them but it really just ticked me off. He asked me how to use a box cutter. I just kind of wonder, you know, was I that stupid. That much older than these guys. I'm 34. These guys are 25, right. 24, 25, maybe 22. And there's no way I was. It's just annoying. Like, you don't know how to use a box cutter. You don't know how to open the box cutter and then cut the box, dude. Like, what the fuck was that about.
I'm supposed to do all this marketing for them and I'm just overwhelmed at the amount of work. I have my old client who's still got me doing web design, which is driving me crazy because I need to move past web design and do what I'm good at, which is SEO and ads. The web design part is literally like you pay me to do a website for you that's going to be their entire shopping experience. We've had to go through it a few times. I don't mind so much, you know, they pay me well, but these projects are coming at a time when I'm supposed to be doing other things. I have other smaller projects I need to be getting to, and this occupation is on this big event for Sim Racing where I'm supposed to meet all these people and I haven't even bought my plane ticket yet. Got refunded because Spirit Airlines went down. Haven't even bought a new ticket yet. And I'm overwhelmed. It's going to be expensive.
This fucking van has no fucking AC. It's so fucking hot. Every time I drive over the fucking causeway and sit on Coral Way trying to get to fucking work, I'm melting. It's so fucking hot. I can't take it. I have no need to be driving a fucking big old van with a bed in the back of it around Miami. I just don't. And I'm ready to move on.
The worst thing is like, I'm not even broke, but I had to move into this apartment so I just spent five thousand dollars to move in. Five thousand dollars I would have loved to have right now. It's just frustrating.
I left work because my friend, my boss, my partner, he didn't show up. I guess he's been feeling sick, whatever. So I left. Didn't really get as much done as I wanted to. I ended up going to the bar and trying to build a new clog tool because I'm finding that I should be able to run my computer headless. I've got a GUI on my computer, it's a Windows computer, and the only reason I need Windows is just because that's what I set it up as and I don't want to do it again. Everything I run is running on Docker Desktop. It's kind of stupid and I'm just realizing that I should just be able to turn the monitors off and control it completely from my phone. So as I was sitting at the bar, I ran this. I said, hey, I'm going to build like a chatbot that sits on my computer and I just talk to it and it spawns new Claude code sessions. I don't need it to move them out. I just want to be able to start new projects or work on my existing projects. So I'm going to do that. I'm pretty excited about it, actually. Let me check on it. At the time of recording we're still asking for permissions, but yeah, getting that done.
Came home and set up some more plant stuff, but now it's bedtime. I'm going to set up a candle and it's going to be cute.
More projects, more work. Get working on the SEO stuff, which is what I really want to be doing.
