bill_schubertNew things starting today:
1 - I finally got to the store and bought some loratadine, AKA Claritin. I have 30 days worth and it takes several before it kicks in. I hedged my bets by buying four more boxes of tissue.
2 - Wagovy. Dana got a prescription for it and started today. It will be interesting.
3 -
Opening day of MLS soccer. The Austin team has made a lot of changes this year. We'll see how they pan out. I'm hopeful.
Other than that, it is finally warming up some. A nice thing.
One of the things I do is work through brilliant.org. I have a year's membership ($129) so it is important to me. I work on it a bit each day learning algebra, geometry, logic, some programming, and such. The lessons are just a few minutes each and they give you points. The points go towards one's standing in whatever 'league' one is in. I'm currently in the Xenon league. Every week they reassess. Like soccer teams one can advance if in the top numbers, or relegate if in the lower ones. So, tomorrow I've got to be in the top 10 to move to the next league. I'll make it easily. But I'm playing another game too:
The guy by the name of Rob E and I are vying for the number one spot. That's why we have so many more points than number 3 and below. Rob E will rack up a few points by completing some lessons and move to the number one spot so I'll do the same. We've been going back and forth for days. It adds a different dimension to the whole thing. Another game. No idea who Rob E is other than his name.
In a day we'll both go up to the next league and have to start over.
I'm currently doing a data analysis course which is, so far, fairly easy. Nearly all of it is fun. Mental pushups.
