The weekend off had quickly gone, and this week I have a pretty busy schedule. Starting with a 16 hours shift.

Spent the night at work, the morning getting some sleep, and a big chunk of the afternoon in the mountain, just before the invasion of weekend tourists began! Not a productive day, but definitely enjoyable.

Ended the day with a Vet appointment with Patudo. Another conjunctivitis, probably from seeking out lizards inside bushes. I swear I'm considering buying him some googles!

Another day, another hike with Patudo! The mountain is starting to show its spring colors.

Day off today. I went hiking with Patudo in the morning, and I'm now going to spend some time playing the new season of New World. Later on I will have dinner with my parents and finish the day watching a movie. That's what I call a good day!

I'm tired! Today is one of those days when nothing was easy and straightforward. The feel is that I spent the day jumping hurdles to never achieve a finish line. Let's hope for a better day tomorrow.

About to begin a new playthrough on Cyberpunk 2077. Wanted to do that since the release of Phantom Liberty. Let's go, Chooms!

I just cast my vote for the Portuguese general elections. I just hope it's not the last time I'm able to do it in freedom.

Today's weather is indecisive! It's sunny, windy, and raining all at the same time. A perfect day to stay at home.

When refactoring the blog code to use Markdown and KirbyText instead of Kirby's Blocks to write posts, I missed a small change and that broke down the RSS feed. Arh! It's fixed.

Starting a 3-day weekend with a hike. Having to explore trails on higher grounds, to avoid the pine caterpillars. Those bastards!

I loved watching 'A Man Called Otto' last weekend, and I'm enjoying the new 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' show. Which reminds me that I need to either update my /now page on omg.lol or create a /now page on my blog.

A 4-day weekend is done. I rested, hiked a lot with my dog, got back to running, read some articles and saw a couple of movies. Felt good. I'm not eager to get back to work, and it's not that I don't like my job. It's just that, at the moment, I would prefer to do others things!

Two months later, I got back to running again. I am now under the effects of my new medication, and it really limits my heart rate. Of course, I didn't push too hard, but the max heart I reached today was 149, where it normally would be like 180. I have to adapt, I think. At least I'm still able to do some exercise!

About to start a 4 days weekend! And I hope I can get the most out of it.

State of the Union: I got a cardiology appointment this week, the medication seems to be working well, more exams and another review in about 6 months; I began my training at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and so far all has gone smoothly.

The house cleaned, the cooking done, and Patudo rested and ready to be the center of attention!

Family is about to get by to send off this year and greet the new one.

2023 wasn't a good year for me. So, let's trust in the magic of New Year's. When that clock strikes midnight, we all get a fresh start. And I don't know about you, but I could really use one.

New Year's Eve grocery shopping is done! It was quite a challenge!

Finally, all the shopping is done, and presents are wrapped. I'm tired. Tomorrow I hope to enjoy my last day off, because then I will work all Christmas long!

Tonight is my work Christmas dinner. The most awkward meal of the year!

Another week and another #silentsunday comes to an end. Only two weeks until Christmas. Time flies... Can someone slow this down?! Let's watch another episode of Rings of Power and sleep until #happymonday

Just relaunched my blog. Starting from scratch. Now using @getkirby@mastodon.social

Trying a new heart medication. This will be the one!

Just spent sometime puting the Christmas tree together. Last week had already put some decorations around the house. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... The most wonderful time of the year!

My new heart medication is not working, and the side effects are hard to cope with.

Today was my cardiology appointment, and I started a new medication to try to control my ventricular extrasystoles. I hope it works, or they'll have to surgically fix my heart.

Just got the seasonal Flu and Covid-19 shots. Trust in science and if they're available to you, don't miss the chance to get yours.

Another evening trail run with Patudo! For sure my life would be a lot better if a could easily make this a daily habit.

Today is the day, chooms! #PhantomLiberty is out! With the relase of version 2.0 and this new DLC, #Cyberpunk2077 is aging like a fine wine.

My day so far: short hike with the dog; dentist appointment; lunch with my parents as is my mother's birthday; next a 8h shift in a Pediatric ER (wish me luck!).

Finally having a Sunday free from work. Let's try to make the best out of it!

What a day! Finally on the sofa to watch the new episode of #Ahsoka

Watching my first Apple event in years!

Finishing the day watching the first #Patriots game of the season. Go Pats! #NFL

After a workday there's not much better than a trail run with Patudo. Letting the bad energies behind and the mind free.

Signing off for today with the new episode of #Ahsoka.

Back to work after 2 days off. Daydreaming with a less stressful life, with a lower pace and more time spent on the outside.

Going for a hike with Patudo, before it starts raining!

Finished the migration of both my Mastodon accounts to social.lol! Now handling the integration of status.lol and then will start exploring the documentation of weblog.lol. Exciting times!
