Today, I woke up early—before 5 a.m.—feeling really good. I managed to complete four solid Pomodoro sessions in the morning, catching up on all the journal entries I’d been putting off these past few days. It felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
It was raining in the morning, and I hurriedly took Hamer to school before heading straight to the office. My goal for today was to finalize the layer design we discussed yesterday and figure out how to implement it. I spent the entire morning sorting out my thoughts, and by lunchtime, I had a clear plan. After lunch, I discussed it with a colleague, and we finalized the approach. In the afternoon, I continued improving functionality based on the new layer structure and even went through the whole process with PE using the device, identifying issues that still needed to be addressed.
I went for lunch early and returned to work right after, feeling great and full of energy. It was at this point that I suddenly received an email related to my level at work, which made me quite excited.
In the evening, I played badminton, and it was so much fun. I played with several different colleagues, and it felt both relaxing and enjoyable. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to play with Hamer tonight. When I got home, I dealt with the social security receipt from her school, which required a lot of photocopies. After school, Hamer went out with her grandmother, but there was a bit of a scare when her grandmother lost track of her and called Xiaoyan and me in a panic. It turned out Hamer had wandered into a mall by herself—thankfully, it was just a false alarm.
Tonight, I planned to go to bed early, getting into bed by 9:30. I felt a bit regretful, though, as Xiaoyan seemed to be in a bad mood today. I wanted to talk to her before sleeping, but I was already dozing off and didn’t bring it up.
