March 4th - just a fun day, some memories

 04.03.2026

It's technically still 3rd for me. Well, not technically, subjectively. I've been playing Sim Settlements in FO4. I wanted to talk about how it takes the problem getting serious before you even try to solve it and how funny it can be. My VPN was misbehaving all day today and yesterday and I always just assumed not all of these connections are open. And they aren't. But I googled some problems that it can have. Apparently you need to have port 443 open. It worked without it before, so I opened it, all following internet instructions. And it seems it fixed the majority of it. A problem sort of solved. Something to be happy about, you could say.

Now it's 11 PM and the day is half an hour away from ending. I am not exactly sure what I want to do today. I think I could have my OHP/PP workout, but it's pretty late.

The good thing though, is that I know I won't be upset if I don't. I am currently satisfied on metal.

All muscle is pretty stiff. Upper back stiff. Lats stiff and massive. Been looking way too big, given how poorly I've been eating. But some parts are flexible. Shoulders are flexible.

Micro-workout

L-flys - 2 kg dbs for 3 sets of 20

Some overhead stretching with the stick, very mild, doing sort of an overhead squat from the bed - I don't have flexibility for it yet, but if I wanted to I could "work into it"

Calf raises, full range

3 sets of 20

Yesterday after DL I did a weird exercise that I believe will help me recover my ankle well - going from squat into a kneeling position and then back. And I also added a squat-out into a hip hinge for added measure, many reps, leaning onto the bed - if I could do it without support I reckon I'd likely not need recovery. No, I have small muscles that are meant to play the support role, the stabilizers - they're not working great, and that's how I'm gonna get them back. So far I'm not fully ready for "outdoors action", if you will. And I wanna be better prepared. RN it's all kinda on hold as I'm going through a crisis realizing that the bureaucrats are just not gonna solve my issue without me going into higher organs.

Writing, finally a good sizable scene squeezing out of me, some hard work, pained but good - just like it used to be with music once I learned to record.

Kind of a super excited night. I slept well during the day for a while. I woke up somewhat early at first, anxious cause we got heating issues. Fixed them, more or less well. There's some wrong marking on the auto switcher, see. It's going into heating and not faucet water, but it's written there like it is.

Went downstairs to grab some tea but ended up making a nice feast for myself.
