Rain forecast for today so long ride indoors. First time I've done one of those in a while! It's convenient to just be at home and have everything I could need on a table next to me, but it's SO much harder to have no breaks.

Leading up to making some changes in third party supplied software, I started adding tests just to make sure I don't break anything.
I've already found 2 bugs that could have safety implications. And I've only made one test harness!

Today is a mid-week rest day, which I never have. So I spent the morning making raspberry jam and pancakes! And it's still early enough that I get to watch something while eating these!

My health insurance sent me a letter saying they tried to call me and I didn't pick up. Literally a letter saying "Answer your phone."

It's a hard time to feel goalless. My goal should probably just be "get through these days". But I long for something I can focus on.

Broke my favorite rubber spatula. Riparoni, good bud.
Good excuse to buy some new ones though.

Using Grocy has made me actually go through grocery store receipts, in order to add things I forgot to put on my list. And doing that has made me catch at least two occurrences of duplicate scans.
I am fearful of turning into "that guy who cares way too much about the receipt".

As someone who does baking/cooking a lot when processing "stuff", the fact that I am trying to plan on making mille-feuille should probably be an alarm.

I don't like that I am getting used to him not being here. It's like a scab I want to rip apart.

First day back at the gym after grieving Sammy and immediately overexerted myself on squats. I couldn't even sit upright without feeling like I was going to pass out, even after several minutes. I'm okay now, but wow that sucked.
Guess when I make it back next time I need to take it easy.

Apparently trying to install and run steam in a debian instance of a distrobox modified the steam files in my host machine! And it subtly broke many things that I didn't even notice.
I can't tell if that means distrobox can be a footgun, or if this is just a one-off bad experience.

Another (Practice) TT done! The vibes were nice.
Finished in 53ish minutes, and set a 53 minute power PB!
I'm still getting back on the bike after a break, so I thought "Just keep it in sweetspot, don't push too hard", and I wound up averaging my FTP!

It's sort of weird/amazing how sometimes we can compartmentalize, and sometimes it feels like everything all at once.

Getting my Valve Index running on Fedora is a troublesome chore. No matter how much fiddling I do with Libsurvive, monado, etc, the reoccurring issue still seems to be that the display won't actually turn on. I feel like that will be the final issue I fix, and it was also the first.

Bike fit day!
Took the day off work so I could do a pre-ride to fatigue myself. It feels so good to just make a whole day a little riding.

Me: This first time VO2 max running workout didn't feel too bad.
Me, 30 minutes later: I am fucking dying. I can feel my soul leaving my body.
