<h2>Work</h2>
<p>
    Preparing for the spike of traffic over peak.
    Struggling with personal moral issues with the company as a whole (everyone I work with is great).
    Starting the job hunt again, first applications sent out this past weekend.
    I have decided that it is time to move on.
</p>
<h2>Life</h2>
<p>
    I am engaged and living with the most wonderful woman I have ever met.
    We have booked a venue and a date!!
    So excited and frees us up to start booking a lot of other stuff.
    Found a wonderful venue that incorporates a lot of nature and is comfortably in our budget.
    Spent every moment outside of work for a week putting together our wedding website, and setting it up for people to RSVP and organize all the data.
    Was so much fun to use my skills to build something for the wedding and makes me feel really connected to the process.
</p>
<p>
    Working to find the path that feels right for me career wise.
    Exploring various options and starting to look for places that align personally with my values.
</p>
<h2>Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu</h2>
<p>
    The team here at GB Toronto has become an external family.
    I am so grateful for the community.
</p>
<p>
    Lost at the recent competition to a flying arm bar.
    Was pretty cool if I do say so myself.
    Pulled back on training a bit to balance various activities in life a little better.
    Looking forward to a more relaxed winter season without needing to prep for any competitions.
</p>
<h2>Learning</h2>
<p>
    I am working to learn japanese and portuguese on Duolingo.
    I love the program and it is 100% worth paying for, but the fact that even when paying it keeps asking for ratings, putting widgets on my home screen, or turning on notifications bothers me.
    You already have my money now please don't bother me.
    Finding the lessons really helpful.
    Coupling it with Anki flashcards for memory is working well.
</p>
<p>
    Starting to learn <a href="go.dev">Go</a>.
    A very simple and concise language.
    Both similar in ways to Rust (focus on performance, strong type system), and completely different (still a runtime, much simpler).
    Enjoying it so far, still very early days.
</p>
<h2>Tinkering</h2>
<p>
    Wedding website still under construction.
    Adding final touches and new information as it comes up.
    Very pleased to have rolled my own auth for this which was fun.
</p>
<p>
    Shifting my attention back to adding content to my personal website.
    I am thinking a recipes database and display in the cooking section.
