Week in Review - March 23rd, 2025
👽 Personal
- I survived my first week at my new job, and I rate the week a solid B. I have my own office, which is a first, the people are nice, and the work seems doable. The pay isn't the best, but hopefully it's going to be an easy job, and I'm just happy to be working again.
🏋️Healthy Living
- KILLING IT! I'm in such a rhythm these days. Even with my new job starting, I still got my The Pump workouts in, and I've kept my calories in check. My shirts are getting bigger on me, and I'm feeling strong.
📺 Watched (A Glimpse at Some of the Stuff I Watched)
- Dardevil: Born Again (S1 E4) - Each episode is better than the last. I hope it keeps this run up.
- The Flash (S1 E15-17) - The show really takes off, and seeing Mark Hamill return as the Trickster is a blast.
