day 1 of break/sick leave - I realized 10 minutes ago I should call it what it is: sick leave. I burned out or came super close to it. Or maybe just mega exhausted from doing too much. - a constraint that I set myself for coming back has not yet changed just got stronger and stronger with every conversation with myself and friends (thank you!) - I got annoyed at myself for not being productive today and then told myself off for that thought. - I had the worst night ever last night. Which is telling because I thought last week that I had the worst night ever. - My legs aren't killing me after the race! So either I didn't push myself enough or got hydration right. - I need to spend more time deciding what I want. For work, but also at home with the kids, friends, would-be-partner, life.

Today’s race went through a military training zone. I jogged passed training grounds, old military prison and saw my city from different perspective. Every time I see the lighthouse, I know I was there. I set out with two rules: never walk more than 20 paces if it’s flat or downhill. Proud that I mostly stuck to it. Time was less good than last year. My friend injured herself last week and couldn’t join. She’s the one creating speed during downhills.

Last long race for me for some time. My friend and I, both parents, decided that for 23km races to be fun and worth while we need to run longer distances throughout the week. But with kids and work, freeing up those hours is hard. Yes that third hill is a killer. Hopefully we have bad weather tomorrow. The route has 0 trees.

Great read (as usual) by @joanwestenberg.eth My mind wants to say that constraints are just goals with a “no” in it. At least that’s what I kept thinking while reading it. However, that would be too simple. It might be true on the surface but not on its impact. Will have to keep thinking about it https://www.joanwestenberg.com/r/983cebff?m=a9f34b42-78c7-4c94-b719-3985b4154ffb

Husband would have tuned 41 today. Weird day. We ate a simple pasta dish he liked and kid#1 made his favourite cake. Also talked with MIL. Talked to the kids a bit about grief, how when you think you got it, it catches you by surprise, how I feel about their dad and that everyone expresses and deals with grief differently.

green is my color, even before higher. Got told it goes well with my eyes. Which is an important signal for me as my fashion and design skills aren't the best

The researcher in me wants to die reading this question. 1. What does "rock with" even mean? 2. This isn't even a double-barreled question, but one ponder with 3 DIFFERENT question in it. Answers will be meaningless but people will make money. @ponder do something! my eyes are bleeding reading this, my stomach is churning and I just want to cry

Parent teacher chat 1 blowing up because kids are on school trip, and teacher is sending pictures and every parent replies. Parent teacher chat 2 is blowing up as parents are gathering support to get the teachers contract extended as it was not renewed and the director provided no explanation.

Running ollama on a m2 with 8gb of ram was a stupid idea. I got the following under-used machines that I'm wondering if I can take them apart or use to run local llm - macbook pro 2012, 4gb ram but could upgrade. 2nd CPU slot got burned and no idea how to fix it - macbook air 2018 that charges but doesn't turn on - pi4 (currently used for a keyboard synthesizer)

Typical recommendation, but would you do that: last bit is crossing the bridge and then walking along an exit of the motorway
