Another week is behind us. Sick leave continues and surgery is coming up, so I've been going to the doctors a lot this week.

It started on Monday with a pre-op appointment with the doctor. It went great, everything's fine. The only little thing that screwed it up a little was that when they did my labs last Thursday, the nurse accidentally didn't send all the request papers, so some results weren't included. 😅 Except that I needed them now on Thursday for the anaesthesiology consultation, so I repeated the samples on Tuesday.

Thursday's anaesthesiology went well too. We agreed on what to do, I signed the consent form… Now I just have to look forward to the surgery. And the main positive – I don't have to shave my beard! Yay! 🥳

Working on

In my spare time, I continue to learn automation – my brother came up with a few more ideas of what he'd like to automate, so I'm trying it out.

And I've also made an automation for posting from blog posts to Mastodon. No AI, I write all the text for it myself, but then I don't have to think about sending it – the robot grabs it from the RSS feed and sends it to Mastodon.

And in my even more spare moments, I've started taking the CS50 course.

Reading

  • Jesse Schell: The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses (3rd Edition)
  • Godot Engine 4.4.1 documentation (I had to actually read it once)

Watching

We finished watching The Bad Batch and Týna wanted to watch Star Wars: Rebels. So now we're watching it.

Fitness and lifestyle

Like I said, I've mostly been visiting doctors this week. It's quite exhausting, so I didn't really feel like doing any major activities. So, just one walk this week:

  • 7.51 km, 01:39:55, 4.5 km/h

And in the gym I managed to get up to 80 kg on the barbell squat! The bench press still at 60 kg and I can't go any higher. And worse – now I'm going to have a few weeks without exercising, so I'm curious what that will do with me.
