Alright, you saw the title… and no, it’s not clickbait (for once 😄). Current goal: 10K HP! I’m only missing 6. SIX. At this point it’s basically like standing in front of the finish line but still having to take those last painful steps… somehow always the hardest.
If everything goes according to plan (and if the universe doesn’t decide to mess with me one last time), this should be done by this weekend. And finally, I’ll be able to say: first milestone achieved ✅. But let’s be real, this is just the beginning… because long-term, I’m aiming way higher than that. The real goal is to stop depending on incoming delegation and leasing offers. Basically, freedom… and no more refreshing pages like my life depends on it.
Now, let’s talk about the real challenge: working during a heatwave. Today was a long day… like really long. The kind where even your shadow is looking for shade.
We’ve shifted schedules, so I start earlier to finish earlier. Sounds great in theory. In reality, it means my alarm goes off at an hour when even the sun is still considering hitting snooze.
We’re under a red heatwave alert, so the idea is to work early while it’s still “cool.” Except… “cool” is a bit optimistic, because by 9 a.m. it’s already 30°C (86°F). Yes, 30°C, the kind of temperature where you start sweating just by existing. At this point, I’m pretty sure I’m developing some kind of heat-resistant superpower.
The upside is finishing earlier, which means I can “enjoy” the afternoon. And by enjoy, I mean slowly melting into the couch while a fan blows hot air directly into my face like a budget hairdryer. Then it’s an early night, because… guess what? We do it all over again the next day.
Anyway, just 2 more days to survive before the weekend. And more importantly: 2 weeks and 2 days left before some well-deserved vacation. Finally, a break from the classic “work, sleep, repeat” cycle… and time to actually do something different (or absolutely nothing at all, which sounds even better).
Stay strong if you’re dealing with this heat too… and see you very soon to celebrate those 10K HP. They’re coming… slowly, but surely 😄

Aside from that classic “work, sleep, repeat” routine, I don’t really know what else to tell you today. The closer I get to my vacation, the more it feels like my workdays are slowing down… like minutes and hours just refuse to move forward, as if the second hand on the clock got stuck or decided to take a break before I do.
But hey, I’m not going to complain. This job gives me a much better quality of life than sitting at home doing nothing and spending money on random nonsense just to pass the time. And ever since I got their health insurance, I’ve been fixing my teeth — just two more procedures to go and everything will be as good as new! I might even treat myself to a nice pair of glasses soon ^^
Anyway, on those fine words, I wish you all a great day!
