It’s been a whirlwind week! From productivity in the office to finally getting some great news about more time with Tanner, this vlog captures it all. Plus, Tanner’s reaction to the news? Priceless!
Kicking Off the Week: A Productive Monday
Good morning! I started the week strong with a productive Monday at the office. “We’ve got a lot to get done this week,” I said, feeling excited about the new projects and content we have in the pipeline. We’ve also got a second editor starting soon, which means we can really step up our content game.
Evenings are jam-packed too. Between work and playing volleyball for a couple of hours, I barely have time to squeeze in meetings before the day ends. But that’s how it goes when you’re trying to juggle everything and stay on top of your game.
Dealing with Car Troubles: A Trip to the Mazda Dealership
Tuesday didn’t start off quite as smoothly. I had to take the car into the Mazda dealership because the check engine light came on, and of course, it’s just 600 miles shy of the warranty expiring. Typical! I’m hoping they give me a courtesy car so I can get back home and keep working, but just in case, I brought my laptop to the dealership.
It’s funny how life throws these curveballs at you, but it’s all part of the hustle. I’m also secretly hoping my sister finds my lost wallet while she’s cleaning the house today. If not, I’ll be dealing with that tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
Reflections on AI Tools and Subscriptions
While waiting on the car, I started thinking about the fast-paced world of AI. Lately, I’ve realized it’s smarter to subscribe monthly rather than yearly to any AI tools because things are moving so fast. You don’t want to get stuck with a tool that becomes obsolete a few months later.
One AI tool I’m sticking with, though, is Personal.ai. It’s all about creating a digital version of yourself, and over time, it learns to respond like you. I think it’s going to be really cool once I get it fully trained. I’m also keeping an eye on tools like Claude and considering trying them out to see if they outperform the current options.
Big News: More Time with Tanner!
But the best part of this week? I got some exciting news regarding Tanner! I’ve been fighting hard in court for equal visitation, and while we’re not there yet, Becca has agreed to give me a few more days each week with Tanner. It’s not everything I’ve been pushing for, but it’s a step in the right direction, and I’m beyond happy about it.
When I picked Tanner up, I told him the news, and his reaction was the best. “We get four sleeps together this weekend!” he shouted, doing his signature happy dance. He was over the moon, and honestly, moments like this make everything else worth it.
Father-Son Fun: Games, Dances, and Bacon?
Of course, the rest of our time together was full of fun and laughs. Tanner showed off his “funny dance,” and we joked around about games and food. At one point, we were debating whether we wanted bacon or something else for dinner, but in the end, it didn’t matter—we were just enjoying being together.
