Money bag

Frustrated that my old employer still owes me a bunch of money from mid-2023 and still hasn't gone into admiinistration.

The first two weeks of being unemployed have been consumed by being sick. Trying to make the most of the next two.

First race of the year ✅. 1:03:23 over 15km (managed 12th overall), right about where I was hoping to be. I have a couple of big running goals later in the year so it's all about staying injury free and consistent from here.

Swimming lessons, followed by a toastie, hot chocolate, almond croissant and double espresso (not all for me) at Frankie's. Great way to spend the morning and really makes me appreciate working four days so I get a full weekday with our son.

Tapering for a race on Sunday == feeling very lazy for the first couple of days this week. Need to get out tonight and tomorrow to get at least a few kms in before the weekend.

Mini-break means coffee with the Aeropress and always reminds me just how much I love this style of filter coffee. I think a fancier hand grinder might be on the horizon.

Great run yesterday (2x2mi at 15km goal pace) where I pretty much nailed the pacing. Wanted to follow it up with a long day (~24km) but the legs were just waaaay too dead today and ended up shortening the loop to 18km. Not bad, but would feel better about the weekend if I went that extra distance.

Game die

Thinking about "committing" to building a series of small games for our son over the course of the year. The problem is that there's so much structure around simple games that I can't really be bothered with (menus, icons, settings screens, etc.).
