Today was a really productive day for the app's progress. I had to troubleshoot the app crashing and getting 404 for two days. I was able to work through that and went right into the two hour work session with Ivan. We made good progress together. He is still teaching me a lot of the coding fundamentals. I am also learning how to get a better grasp on the principals of information design. I used to be so adverse to coding and now it has become such a satisfying problem to solve that I often times find myself not knowing when to stop. I felt good walking away from the project at noon to go to Maw's house.
With Maw, we went to lunch and did some shopping errands. It was an enjoyable day with her. She had exercise class today so I headed to CrossFit. They had only one class in the morning at 9:00am because of Veteran's Day so I did a solo workout. I did my usual solo bicep pump. Today I listened to the soundtrack to Revelations in memory of Ms. Judith Jamison. It was interesting to really feel the fighting drive in some of those songs. It felt like a powerful workout and I was really happy with it. Today I could feel the drive of really giving it my all and pushing myself. It was also powerful because I was thinking on my feet about making sets and reps of different exercises.
The evening has been pretty good with the family. Dinner and the down time since has been enjoyable. Specifically one of the things that sparked joy this evening was talking to one of my best friends about our 10 year friend-anniversary trip. My mom rolled her eyes at how millennial that is. We are making plans to go to London and some other country yet to be decided.
One of my big takeaways from today has been feeling how starting a routine here has really allowed me carve out time for the things that I needed to prioritize. Those being my family, my fitness, and my app project. Today I am grateful that I feel grounded and excited to stay curious for longer.
