SSAB - September 21, 2026

I’ve been PSB’d! Passport gone until October 8th! Now the lovely yellow paper is all I got!

Class prep and podcasts, will they work?

Off to the gym and hitting 75 kgs on the bench! Could I bench my body weight? Squats lagging bigly.

Missed a Chinese class! And thinking… 1100 RMB for teaching an infant? Where do I sign up?!
