Journal Week 28, 2025 (July 14 to 20)

Thursday - Thursday, July 10th - 17th

Just kinda lumping these together as I left a bit of a hiatus in the journaling and let things slip a little bit, mostly a consequence of working too hard the week prior.

Thursday, July 10th

As alluded to in last week’s journal, Ultraman passed away around midnight. He was recovering strength fast throughout the day, but started going backwards fast starting from around 6PM, ultimately passing away some six hours later. I will write up his full story.

Other than that, Thursday was a normal day.

Friday - Sunday

I took friday off and then spent the weekend doing normal weekend things. I needed some recovery; been going at it too hard with exercise.

Monday

Bastille day! We threw a bit of a party at home and had fun. The Eiffel Tower fireworks/drone show was very beautiful this year. I was also very impressed by the Indonesian division at the military parade.

Tue - Wed

Spent most of Tuesday just resting since I went a bit too hard on Monday and stayed up too late. Wednesday I was feeling a lot of physical malaise but I managed to drag myself to the pool and felt better after that. I definitely notice a couple days of unhealthy living and lack of exercise.

Thu

Put everything back into order, cleaned the house, did a lot of exercise. Also worked on the blog a lot. Goal is to officially launch the blog on the 27th, now.

Friday, July 18th

Back to full power today. Gonna leave the daily logs off until next week.

Lot of exercise — gonna stay with machines for another week and then move to free weights I think, which is pretty intimidating.

Saturday, July 19th

Exhausted from yesterday’s exercise hehe. Dusted off the EMPTYHEAD today, going through the code and explaining it to my co-dev-to-be. Looking forward to picking this back up — more to follow soon. Restful Saturday otherwise.

Went to see some gardens/greenhouses today, otherwise a restful Sunday as well.
