Last night, I was hoping to wake up a bit earlier today to catch up on my journal. Didn’t expect to wake up this early, though—4:30 a.m.! I stayed in bed until 5:40 before finally getting up. Even while lying there, my mind was still spinning with work-related thoughts, making it hard to truly relax.
During the day, I kept my head down, working non-stop. In the morning, I quickly synced with a colleague on the device connectivity issues; there are still some unresolved challenges, so I decided to bring a laptop and device next time to troubleshoot thoroughly.
Today’s focus was table design, mainly organizing existing fields from Pro. The trickiest part was defining the CodedValueDomain, as I kept confusing field types with Code/Value. After many attempts, I finally sorted it out and got it done just before heading home around 9 p.m.—felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders.
At lunch, I had intended to go early, grab a meal, and take a short nap afterward. But things kept dragging on, so in the end, I missed out on the break. In the afternoon, the office had a little birthday celebration, and the game was to guess the number of candies in a bag. I got lucky and guessed correctly—16 candies—winning a little My Little Pony candy. I thought I’d bring it home for Hamer; she’d probably love it.
When I got home in the evening, I brought the candy and a nightlight projector as a small surprise for her. But when I arrived, I found that she and her grandmother were already asleep. When Xiaoyan got home, she noticed that Hamer had gone to bed on the top bunk. We’d agreed that from Halloween onward, she’d try sleeping up there by herself, and she actually remembered and followed through without a word. Watching her sleep soundly filled me with pride and contentment.
