been just preposterously busy with work as i just got kind of thrust into a new role as a sysadmin for which i am entirely unqualified, lol. but! in order to swim rather than sink i'm now learning Powershell, which will hopefully be useful long-term. we're also in a season of needing a lot of work on our home; my wife and i just finished rebuilding a fence that blew over in a windstorm, and then as we were preparing for a flooring project we found mold in some drywall that we've had to isolate and will need to mitigate, and just this morning we had someone out to do a yearly furnace check and we need a new actuator in the furnace. hopefully by the time this is all done i'll both know powershell and also be a functional handyman, ha! which is something i never had any interest in before.

outside of work and home repair, i'm trying to start a habit of yoga in addition to my meditation practice, but that's been tough because the room i usually do yoga in is the room that closed off due to the mold remediation! lol/sob.

also just trying to stay on top of cooking. my wife and i make a giant weekly pot of Nigerian style jollof rice, and that's been a great relief so we don't need to figure out lunches for the first few days of the week.

so, boring life stuff but busy. never a dull moment.
