π I have really gone down a rabbit hole this morning researching of all things a Lake that I ran by yesterday all because of the Historical Marker I found π
βοΈ I guess I am glad that I went for a long run yesterday with the major storms this morning. Not to mention the loss of power which makes for a fun morning so far. Dogs seem a little scared by all this so I will just be here on the couch if anyone needs me.
π‘ Up earlier today in order to head to the IowaState Fair today. Canβt wait to try out some of the new foods π
π¨βπ» Decided I needed to make some adjustments to my Obsidian plugin as updating pages instead of posts is not that great right now.

π€ I am trying to put a little more structure in my Daily Obsidian notes and wondering what others do or how it functionally looks and maybe what you put in there. I don’t use mine for work it is just like a daily log of things (e.g., places visited, interesting things, thoughts, links to other notes, link to running).
π Well it seems the internet went out again at home. This is 2x in less than a week. Not always a huge deal but it is summer so the kids are home and the little thing that I work from home as well. π«
π Never good when during your first meeting of the day the internet goes out and not going to come back till 11am. π΅βπ«
πββοΈ Iβm nervously excited for our little swimmer today as she is competing in a bunch of events and placed quite high. She will do great no matter what!
π₯΅ it is only 8:30 this morning and I am already hot out here watching our oldest play beach volleyball. π
π¨βπ» Seems like a good day to create a new take on another existing Obsidian plugin π€·ββοΈ
π¨βπΎ Was doing some “blog gardening” this morning and wishing on more of my old posts and some new ones I had a location attached to it. In most cases there is a picture with a few words or something but I never really said where I was. So in the cleanup if I can tell I will try to add but wish it was part of the post and not just a link added.
πββοΈ Up early for day three of this swim meet. Why start warmups at 6:45β¦ I guess why not π€·ββοΈ
Since I was in Cedar Falls I decided to run around the University of Northern Iowa where I went to school in order to get a run in and see how things have changed. Such a blast to see again as it has been a while since I have been here.
One of the many reasons I choose to run is because I sometimes find myself wanting to eat fun cookies like this π€£. Donβt worry we only ate one for now but the other one might be later tonight. π
At least I could convince my daughter to share the bear one with me for now.
π€£ If feel like this is fitting that these swimmer staying together as a team at a hotel with a pool decided to break up into teams and do relays for fun. π
π Drove the +3 hours to Cedar Falls for an outdoor swim meet today to see my daughter do warmups and then the thunder and lightening came. Meet got cancelled for tonight which is a bummer they wouldnβt delay it as we are stuck here for the weekend and there is a chance it could still happen tonight.
π΄ Up early today to make sure everything is ready to go for our drive for an out of town outdoor swim meet. However, looking at the weather that is 4 hrs away I am not sure it will happen today. π«
I decided to get this late night run in as I will be sitting for a lot of tomorrow. I actually thought it would have been cooler out tonight after I finished mowing now that the sun went down but I think with the rain today the humidity skyrocketed.
π€ I am curious for people that create daily logs for themselves on either paper or in digital form how they go about structuring such a thing. I have a way I am doing it now and the good thing is I am capturing things, the bad thing is I feel like it is very messy. π€£
Wish I could have made it to the championship game today to watch these girls win the whole tournament . So fun to think only 1 year ago M decided she wanted to play volleyball for fun. π€© ππ
