Journal Entry 2025-05-04

Today I continue to refined my setup across both my MacOS and Linux quick start. I was able to complete the integration of two new tool. Tmux-sessionizer and fzf-tab zsh plugin. I also learn more about fzf in general and get more familiar with the process of development using the cli environment. Overall it feel very enjoyable however it also seems very time consuming to fully get the setup of the tool suite the exact way that I want to. Overall, it is still an enjoyable experience to learn more about the development tooling and application.

In terms of reading, I continue to read the book the new journals to further improve my ability to document and reflect upon my emotion, learning, and decision making. Outside of reading and tinkering, I also went out with family on a 6KM walk around the neighborhood park. It was very exhausting and I didn’t want to go outside at first but the uneasy-ness soon disappear after 15 minutes of walking. I hope I can continue to stay active for the following days and get more healthy and strong. On the house purchase side, we wrote another offer for the two house we are considering hoping they will stick. Overall I feel ok about either one of the house but the uncertainty of the country makes me unsure whether currently buying a house is the correct move. Pure instinct says over long term the housing price will continue to increase and we would be wasting money if we don’t buy in early but the economic environment doesn’t seem to healthy for both USA and the rest of the world with the tariff.
