Life Update

It's been almost a month since I lost my job, and life has taken on a new pace—definitely slower without the weekly product and tech syncs. In this newfound space, I've kept myself busy managing two fantasy football teams, which has turned out to be both a blessing and a curse in equal measure. Between scouring waiver wires and finalizing lineups, I'm also applying for new roles, navigating interviews, and even doing those dreaded tests that seem to accompany every application these days.

Meanwhile, I'm sorting out some home projects. After what felt like an eternity of searching, I finally found a daybed for the second bedroom here in Thailand (no easy feat, I assure you). It's arriving Monday, and I’m eager to do a before-and-after photo reveal—home décor meets personal victory.

And of course, there’s Toby. Training this little guy has been a welcome distraction. He’s got “sit” down like a pro now, although I think he’s aiming for a managerial role in snack acquisition at this point.

In the midst of all this, I’ve booked a 9-day trip to Koh Samui for the first week of October—perfect timing with China’s National Day holiday coming up. A little sun, sea, and escape will be the perfect reset after this whirlwind of changes.
