The Runway Files #175 — Validate, Keep, or Drop

1 min read5 days ago

The morning was routine. I woke up and brought home some bhakka. After lunch I went to the hospital for yesterday’s follow-up. The doctor said it may have been syncope. He advised a few more checkups, including vitamin D, and I think potassium and a couple of others. I’m not totally sure, but at least one of them needs an empty stomach, so I’m giving my blood sample tomorrow.

Back home, I had a gap while my mom was making soup for me, so I used it to validate some of the decisions I’ve made on my design. Some held up, and some turned out not quite the best options. It’s tough, especially for someone with little to no experience of mechanics, but I’m learning and I’m trying to get it working.

A couple of hours later my mom came with her veg soup. I’m staying vegetarian today for tomorrow’s blood test, which is strange but fine. She told me to rest, and I did. The NPL match was starting right then, Biratnagar Kings against Kathmandu Gurkhas, and it turned out to be a low scoring thriller. And that was the day.

Not much progress today, and the SAT in particular has stalled. But what I did was validate the changes I’ve been making for some time and decide which to keep and which to drop. Call it progress or backtracking, whichever you prefer.
