W38. Calisthenics and burgers.

Last week was a busy one.

I made it to three classes at my new calisthenics gym. It's different from studios in Lisbon and Berlin. Lisbon is more on the connection side; more partner exercises, deep breaths, mixed in slow movements. Berlin is grittier; pushing yourself, but also more playful. Time to really explore the skills you're practicing.

Stockholm is about efficiency. The classes are 50 minutes. No fucking around, we're on a schedule, the teachers has a clear structure and time, and they stick to it. The calisthenics teacher in Berlin goes over time in classes so often it's an internal joke at the studio.

So, different, but gets the job done. The most important thing for me in with classes (and boy do I have opinions) is that the teacher knows what they're doing, focus on technique and make sure to warm up accordingly. And they do, so I'm happy.

Sweden best burger truck finally had the tripple cheese back on the menu. It was just as delicious as I remember. (Photo does not make it justice.)

Met up with Jaan for cowork. Got too caught up talking about politics and values, so no photo evidence of this. The new Svedjan Bageri is a lovely spot to sit at though, I'll do better next time!

In related news I have been so caught up in my new assignment that I forgot to post about Preciiis – our new collaboration/collective! Whenever we get on a call together I feel inspired, and that's exactly what I want to feel when working with others.

It's colder inside than outside at the moment, but still, the fall colors are beginning to show and I'm embracing it. Also, I can't tell you how excited I am to have a bathtub for a while. Got 92 sleep score after this. 😌

Tried to make a vegetarian chili. But here's what I learned the hard way. If it says 2 teaspoons of chili powder, you can not replace it 1-1 with chili flakes. Who knew?

It's so spicy I couldn't eat it the first day, the next I mixed in more ingredients to dilute it, and it's still so spicy I start sweating when I eat it and have to drink two liters of water. Lesson learned.

This week's focus is more social. Lunch with an old colleague, dinner at a friends place, and three AI workshops at work. Let's go!
