Day #139 - Time with myself

It's a day of me time, looking at reno stuff, and attending a friend's newborn celebration.
Got reminded of an old korean drama that I like a lot, A Gentlemen's Dignity.

  2. Examine the air-con trunking solution from the renovation open house
    • Done
  3. Have a good evening with friends
    • Done
  4. At least 30 min of video editing
    • Done (did around 1h30min)
Just a day more focused on myself and the guys.

Today's Small Wins:
  • Did significant amount of video editing
  • Quality time with friends
  • Did planning for the weekend
  • Found a solution for air-con trunking issue 
Today's Small Losses:
  • Slept and woke up late
