1263 - Days Off

The team I was working with recently had Friday and Monday off. Sort of an offset since a few members of the team worked lots of overtime to get the project finished.

We used Friday to meet up with our product manager, who had left work, to give him a proper send off. It was a nice, relaxing time catching up and just relaxing with the others.

I just spent yesterday at home. I did take an hour to walk to a nearby mall to buy some stuff my daughter needs for school. It was a quick, brisk walk which I thoroughly appreciated since I got to go out and see stuff. I didn't take full advantage of going out and just went back home after getting the errand done since I also felt like it would rain. It did not.

It was also good I got home because once I got home I felt really sick. I have no idea why, but thankfully a few hours later I was feeling normal again.

And that's how I spent my days off.

Out.

1262 - Slump

I'm in a slump at the moment. No desire to exercise, at least kettlebells, and no consistency either. I've been able to jog 3 km and my toe isn't as painful anymore so at least I still have that.

But lately the drive has been pretty low. I'm trying to figure out why, and I may have an idea already. So I guess the only solution to this is to power through whatever it is I am going through at the moment and survive.

Out. 

1261 - Toe Update

I tried doing my usual 3:1 intervals last Friday and I was able to do 2 km. Left pinky toe still felt sore after, so I guess it's still not fully healed.

THEN this morning I once again accidentally stubbed it on a chair leg. Good thing it was a chair so it also moved when I hit it, absorbing some of the force of the hit. It's still painful, not as bad as when I originally stubbed it. And no, I haven't gone to have it checked.

Out.

1260 - Updates

Friday last week after my 5 km 3:1 interval jog I stubbed my toe at home. I still cannot jog because of this because it still hurts when I wear shoes. Monday I was able to spend 20-ish minutes on the stationary bike. Tuesday and Thursday, today, I did my usual kettlebell exercises.

I'm hoping my toe is healed enough tomorrow that i can go do a 5 km 3:1 session, I honestly can admit I miss the 40-ish minutes of exercise. Might do me good to get rid of this lethargic feeling I've been having.

Out.

1259 - Random Car Thoughts Yet Again

Before I begin ranting, er, blogging, I'd like to say that I actually have a lot of things I think about. It's just that I choose not to share them in public because they're too private and personal. That being said, on with the blog.

I just saw an Instagram reel by rgp_gd3 about car builds and it basically said “Nobody has to understand your build. Build it because YOU love it.” And honestly I cannot help but agree with this sentiment.

If I do end up "building" the Wigo it would be with modifications I think it would need, or modifications I would want. And just so we still remember what those would be, it would be the following:

1. Horn upgrade. Louder, beefier, and two horns instead of the one high pitched horn that comes in stock.
2. Additional fog lamps. Amber and separate switch that only turns the lights on if the headlights are on (ideally). This is for safety at night to help improve visibility when it is raining hard because the white headlights don't cut it.
3. Sound upgrade. Better speakers and possibly an amplifier if it can be placed somewhere without eating up space. Nothing extreme, just louder and clearer music and podcasts.
4. Suspension upgrade. This is really out there but I'd love to add a slightly stiffer suspension that will also give a higher ground clearance. Supposedly adjustable coilovers can do this, and while it sounds extreme, I feel like getting a slightly stiffer, higher ride will help the Wigo a lot. Stiffer so it doesn't bottom out when heavy, and higher (by about 2.5 cm / 1 inch) just so it has better ground clearance.
5. Better tint. I'd love to spend for some high quality tint where the visibility is the same as not having any tint but the UV and heat protection is loads better.
6. New rims. I realize this isn't a big priority so I just want some rims I like at the recommended spec, either 14x5 or 15x6.

Stickers/decals are also there but I'm already sticking some on the rear windshield and I honestly just do this so I can spot the Wigo better in parking areas.

Out.
