What are your goals for the week?

We're deeper into 2025 but I still haven't had a full week schedule yet. Last week was shorten by the weather but not at the start of the week like I mentioned last Monday, that passed us. But then they said snow Friday and I had to get things done Wednesday and Thursday before the roads were bad. Everything was shut down Friday.

I have an eye doc appointment today. They'll put drops in my eyes which means screens will be fuzzy for a few hours. So I'll be offline a while. Can't code with double vision.
