In addition to being a software engineer I've been a musician and guitar teacher for 15+ years.

I'm growing my lessons business into an online music school and we're launching our first offering with one of my fav teachers:

"Write a song using music theory"

For the love of god...

I put down the work and say 'okay fine I'll finish this up later' but my brain says "oh no, we're still thinking about this. Open VScode again right now!"

I do a codewars problem every day. If I'm low on time, I might do an easier one just to keep the brain in code mode. I realized today that I'm running out of those easier ones. Guess I'm just gonna have to do harder ones by default.

Have been successfully getting up earlier, and I think I'm liking it so far. Having most or all of my daily wins done by 11am is... new.

Man, there's nothing quite like picking back up an old project that you left collecting dust for a bit.

"Why did I do that? "
"Where am I?"

I've been on call for Jury Duty the last couple months. Today I'm finally called in and my alarm just decides to not go off, so I nearly miss it.

Not a fun way to start the day.
