Surf
I met Chloe and got yelled at by Mark, which was a downer. Mark accused me of catching too many waves and not sharing with others, but I disagree. Even when I catch a wave, I make a point to kick out if someone is behind me. Overall, the surf was moderate, roughly four feet, and slow between sets.

The speaker has noticed an increase in energy in the evenings after getting up late over the weekend, leading to late nights. They are considering adjusting their schedule in response to this new pattern, as they do not enjoy waking up late. Despite experiencing a midday lull, their energy typically surges back, which they suggest might be related to their meal patterns, particularly after dinner. They also express a sense of restlessness, as they feel a desire for a break yet find nothing sufficiently entertaining, indicating their mind may not truly want to rest.

Wake up 5:50 tomorrow

Following through
The speaker expresses a desire to spend time outdoors with friends, specifically mentioning outings with Jono, Alex, and Chandler. They're looking forward to the improving weather as an opportunity to make these plans happen. While the speaker intends to follow up on these ideas, they're not ready to send a message about it just yet. Instead, they plan to write a reminder for the next day, so as not to forget the proposed visits, especially with Jono.

Evening time
Today involved watching the Super Bowl, feeling disappointed about the 49ers' loss, and preparing meals including steak for dinner with more food like ramen and salmon for the coming days. Personal achievements included some work on a spreadsheet project and watching educational videos by Andrej Karpathy. Despite also updating the main burrito.place website, feelings of underachievement persist due to slow progress on a project and unresolved uncertainties. Plans for tomorrow include surfing at Swammy's and confronting the aforementioned uncertainties.

Afternoon
Had a decent time trying ramen at Kitakata Ramen, enjoyed the gyoza with yuzu chili paste, and contemplated buying some for home use. Made a routine stop at Costco for necessities, including chicken, oil, and a nod to a growing sparkling water habit, then visited Camellia Road, a favored spot. Met Caroline, a coffee roaster and owner of Cozy Canine Coffee, where a purchase supports the San Diego Humane Society. Wrapped up the day considering whether to watch the Super Bowl while multitasking with work-related tasks.

Morning
I spent the morning watching Andrej Karpathy's videos on neural networks and trying to grasp backpropagation and transformer neural networks but still lack a solid understanding. I missed breakfast but did have coffee, and now I plan to go to Costco and grab lunch, unsure where. I also had a pleasant check-in call with Austin about the project, which I appreciated. For dinner, I'm undecided between cooking salmon or steak.

Yesterdays dinner + notes
For dinner, the individual enjoyed their leftover salmon with rice, kale salad, and some croutons. They had an intense and productive phone conversation with Ellie where they shared the progress of their work and discussed Ellie's expertise in spreadsheets and data. There's an intention to refine a presentation deck that clearly demonstrates significant value, aiming to implicitly show the potential of over a hundred million dollars without stating it outright. They also touched upon the importance of including social elements in their approach and mentioned their background as a builder in the web 3 space, stressing the significance of decentralized protocols.

My day so far
This morning, after sleeping in, I enjoyed a slow start, making eggs with shallots and riding my bike to Mnemonic for a unique and fantastic espresso. I spent around two hours at Mnemonic writing and thinking, followed by a bike ride to Tacos El Gordo before returning home. Back home, I experimented with purified water for coffee brewing and general health reasons, purchasing three gallons from OB Water to see if it makes a difference. I'm ending my day with plans to read "Positioning" and acknowledging that my to-do list will likely extend into the weekend.

How the intentions should work
I want to send a personalized note to everyone tomorrow, expressing my gratitude for the unique contributions they've made to my happiness. I'm not sure I want to share these feelings publicly, but I do want to acknowledge them personally. I'm looking for assistance to formulate these messages more precisely. It would be great to speak my thoughts into a computer with someone and have them captured and reflected back.
