February 2026 Check-In

It's been a month. The first half of the month was frigid, we got some warmer weather mixed in along with several significant snowfalls. Tess loved the snow, but I'm glad to have some milder weather coming.

Hard Time Staying Focused

I'm not sure why, but this whole past month I've had a hard time staying focused on anything. I didn't write nearly as much as I intended, my side project that I've been tinkering around with has been mostly stuck in place. I'm not sure whether its the cold weather or what, but it's felt like I've been in some funk. Hopefully I can break free this month.

Some Improvements to My Blogging Process

I mentioned in a previous week note that I migrated my blog tooling to Node.js apps to make the process of building my site a little easier. Also included in that was some tweaks to my /now page. I added a section for my recently purchased music. I figured since I started tracking when I purchased my albums, I'd add them there as well.

Not the Greatest Month for Fitness

When it comes to working out, it wasn't a great month. Sometimes it was just doctor appointments that got in the way, but part of it was my own laziness. The extreme cold didn't help either. I'm not going running in 10°F (-12°C) weather. It was cold enough walking Tess the half mile around the block. I-League started back up so now I'll have a more steady stream of hockey games the next 2 months.
