I felt a little more focused, so it may have just been how busy I stayed. My longest battle was with the Windows 11 Home edition PC that was on the shelf, since I didn&#8217;t have a way to upgrade it to a Pro license for Intune management. I&#8217;m still not comfortable spending money, and I went back and forth with Dylan to see what Howard could do for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had an anxiety attack sometime in the day while I was standing in the tech closet, possibly because I had my chin down to my chest. That seems to be a recurring cause. I was pretty hungry for most of the morning, but snacked quite a bit and didn&#8217;t get into my Soylent. We ended up going to Arby&#8217;s for lunch, and I used a deal to get a free French dip for later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The afternoon went by pretty quickly as I crunched on the digital signage a bit. I fired off a few emails, and then on the way out, Janice said that the office staff would still be off for President&#8217;s Day. I headed on home, stopping at the lube to catch Summer as she wrapped up her long day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We got to the house and the kids were there laying around. Summer showered and I spread out some rat poison she brought home. Then I made her a plate of leftovers and ate my sandwich from earlier. Then the kids left and Summer and I finished watching the MKBHD feature. I think I may have enjoyed listening to the podcast about it more, but the video was still great. Their passion for their work is infectious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>less than three<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Somehow I failed to get into a rhythm with drinking today, and I barely had any water.
