Weekly Notes 35/2025

My physiotherapy has shifted to strength training, and it’s going good. I’m also monitoring my diet and making a few changes. I’ve restarted breakfast with just eggs and coffee.

Weekly Notes 30/2025

This week was another good but hectic week. I went to school almost every day with Uma, I completed most of my planned tasks, and didn’t miss physiotherapy. So not bad. For the last couple of days, it has been cloudy and drizzled a bit; otherwise, the monsoon has vanished. Uma loves playing...
