Just don’t think Cathy and I need this anymore.

For the life of me, I have no idea why I’m holding onto this book.

Student: Why is my life so difficult?
Master: Why do you choose to make it difficult?

In addition to my regular programming study for work, I do some daily mental exercises. I am practicing Spanish daily. I am practicing Morse code daily. I try to work a non-work related programming challenge daily https://www.codewars.com/ I’m studying ham radio to upgrade to my Amateur Extra class license. I try to get some daily reading in even if it is just a paragraph or listening to an audiobook. And I’m now adding a daily math problem from https://www.mathopolis.com/questions/day.php where I’m doing one math problem from every grade (yes, I got cocky and missed the 2nd grade math problem) and topic. I want to see math like Neo sees the Matrix. I’m failing a bit at my daily physical exercise but motivated to change that.
What do you do to stay sharp?

So, I worked on a client’s website all day.

Architekt Poppy Red is a beautiful ink!

Alas, my trusty grapefruit knife cannot be found….

I’m focusing 2022 on closing out as many projects as I can. In 2023, I’ll close out any that did not complete in 2022.

Work: “It’s Monday! We want you product! So much to do. Go go go go!”
Also work: “Eh, yeah, we installed so many software and firmware updates to your computer over the weekend that you will spend half your day rebooting your computer. No, we aren’t moving the deadlines.”
