I’m on my own for the rest of the week, until some time on Saturday. I’m trying to figure out how I want to spend my “free” evenings… I could either get stuck into some miniature painting projects, or I could work on the WordPress theme I’ve had going on in the background for a while now. I think I only have a few elements to style before it reaches “minimum viable” status for this site, and after that I can fix it up for others to use. Possibly “live,” as it were.

On the other hand, my head isn’t in the right place for either of these options at the moment, so like this evening I end up stuck in the middle doing nothing.

I figured it out. I made a substantial typo when I updated my weight this morning, so all the calculations were completely thrown out. So not the Watch’s fault in the slightest. I did say I was having a tough day. I’ll go for an extra walk after work; that should help clear my head, and get me to my goal.

I went for a walk at lunchtime. 3.29KM, including two long uphill segments. Somehow my Apple Watch only counted me as burning 34 calories, when the exact same walk on Friday was worth 275. I wonder if it’s a bug triggered by me setting a new Move Goal this morning? Either way, I’ll be pissed if this causes me to break my 56-day perfect activity streak 😒

I’m really tired today, after not getting a full night’s sleep all weekend. It means my thoughts are quite scattered, and I’m struggling to focus. Not the best when I have an urgent backlog of code reviews to complete by tomorrow 😐

I’ll be glad when it’s after the US Thanksgiving and Black Friday, as it means the web and tech new sites will go back to posting content that isn’t about “the best Black Friday deals on X”…

I’m honestly surprised no one is selling a “smart” Christmas tree yet, with integrated controllable lighting, a built in assistant and speaker for playing festive music on demand.
