Today was a mix of stress and support.

I accompanied Xiaoyan for her full-anesthesia endoscopy—she was nervous and starving after fasting since the night before. Luckily, results came back mostly normal.

At work, I had back-to-back meetings prepping for Friday’s demo and team’s AI sync meeting. I felt the pressure, especially when struggling to explain some workflow. But progress was made—we finalized the UI and backend in the afternoon.

To decompress, I played badminton and spotted a gorgeous streak of fire clouds on the way home. Exhausted, I crashed early.

A bustling highway is seen at dusk, with city buildings silhouetted against a colorful, cloud-filled sky. I caught a glimpse of fiery clouds on my way home.
