Two creatures live in me: the hereditary nocturnal and the early-bird-wannabe. They both continue to fight every day. Today the early bird won. I want it to continue winning.

Promised myself I'd start running again. But first coffee, then...

> Run 2 km
> Cold shower
> Cook a big breakfast
> Enjoy the 4B's: Breakfast + Brew + Book + Bossa Nova 
Felt good to start the day with a run. Breakfast tasted especially good because I was HUNGRY.

Started work later than I'd like. But tomorrow I'll improve.

Today was a rare 10/10 day where I crossed out everything on my to-do list.

✓ Some client work for $u$tenance.

✓ Spent too much time on my CS50 Week 0 assignment. I'm obsessing over every detail. But I've decided to indulge myself. Not going to rush it like I did the first time around; so I can learn properly.

✓ Set up Automator to auto-resize photos for this blog. \o/

✓ Debugged "missing avatars" on a Rails project. Took hours of my life.

What did I learn today? Web dev is hard!
There are still so many things I don't understand. I don't know if I'll ever be "good enough", and it makes me anxious. *impostor syndrome looms*

But I think... with a bit of focus, and a lot of tenacity, we'll make things happen. We always have, haven't we?
I don't think this is any different from other things I've done in the past.
