Saturday. Slower than last week's — deliberately so. I've been pushing through material at a good clip and it occurred to me that I haven't really stopped to let things consolidate. So today I didn't open a new section. Just reviewed. Went back over the last two weeks of CCNA material and quizzed myself without looking anything up first. Did better than I expected on the security stuff, a little shakier on some of the WAN details. Good to know what needs another pass.

The rest of the day was just the weekend being the weekend. Some time with Vanessa, some time with Hadley, the October air doing that thing it does in the evenings. Nashville doesn't get dramatic autumns — no blazing foliage, no crisp snap — but it gets something quieter that I've come to like. The light changes. That's enough.

One hundred and thirty-four. I wrote that number and thought: that's a lot of days. Then I thought: it's also just four months and change. Perspective is weird.
