Week in Review - March 16th, 2025

👽 Personal

  • My last week of freedom before I rejoin the workforce has come to an end. I'm nervous, anxious, and ready to get this started. I'm sure I'll be a little distant this week as I adjust, but hopefully everything will work out well.
  • I watched a little of the AF1 game Saturday night, and boy it was a downgrade from the game the week before. Terrible camera work, mediocre announcing, and a very small crowd. 
  • I've continued working on cleaning up my car and I've really been enjoying it. It's been years since I spent some time and effort into a car I own, maybe I'm just getting older, or maybe it's just something I feel like I can control, but my car is clean and looking great. I'm planning on buying an extractor tool for my shop vac and doing some carpet and seat cleaning in the near future.
  • In a strange turn of events, I really didn't spend much time with entertainment this week. I didn't watch much TV, no movies, didn't listen to music, and barely played any video games. I did however buy The Truth About Cats and Dogs soundtrack on CD on eBay, since most of the songs weren't available on Apple Music and I really enjoyed it's offbeat 90s sound.
  • I've been following the NFL free agency, and what the hell are the Steelers going to do at quarterback? I mean, I hope Rogers is not a serious option, because frankly, I can't stand him. But they have waited until pretty much all the backups are even signed. It's going to be an interesting year in Pittsburgh.
  • I purchased a muscle stick this week. I have foam rollers and various tools to help muscle knots, and to be honest, I've always been extremely underwhelmed. I felt like they were all overhyped. Well, I decided to take a chance on a muscle stick after reading how you can massage your calves, and it can help alleviate some foot pain and wow... that thing is great. Not only did it help with some foot pain, but it's easy to use, and you can really feel it getting down deep into the muscles. It was definitely $10 well spent.

🏋️Healthy Living

  • I've really hit a great rhythm, and I've been consistent with my Pump workouts and my calorie deficits have been even larger than usual. 
  • I meditated a little this week, nothing too consistent, but I got a few good sessions in. I need to prioritize this, especially since I had two nights where I just couldn't calm myself down. I was so ramped up to get things done, I couldn't slow my brain down. 

📺 Watched (A Glimpse at Some of the Stuff I Watched)

  • Reacher (S3 E6) - The best episode this season.
