George's Journal - Day 16: Frosty Whiskers

January 16th, 2024

Nashville decided to show off its full winter prowess today with a bone-chilling -17ºC, setting the stage for a day filled with equal parts determination and hesitation. The morning's first order of business was a candid piece to camera, where I shared the slow saga of my facial hair journey. It seems my beard ambitions are battling against genetic odds, a humbling reminder that not ALL dreams are meant to flourish.

Procrastination played its sly hand as I had to find the will to head to the gym. The battle between motivation and the comfort of warmth was real, but eventually, determination won. The workout, though delayed, served as a small triumph over the inertia that colder days can bring.

The day took an adventurous turn when Lachie, ever the instigator of bold ideas, suggested a nighttime cold plunge. The pool, sheathed in ice, required some unconventional entry methods—namely, a meat mallet. There's something surreal about chipping away at ice for a dip that defies common sense, yet there we were, turning the frozen surface into a doorway to exhilaration.

Dinner brought us back to the warmth of family and the simple pleasure of a chicken meal shared around the table. It was a moment of normalcy amidst the day's chilly escapades, a reminder of the comfort found in shared meals and laughter.

The evening's last hurdle was a tangle of production woes that tested my patience and resolve. Despite my best efforts, the technical gremlins won the battle, leading me to concede defeat and embrace the solace of sleep. Sometimes, the best move is to step back and recharge for another day.

Today was a blend of challenges, from the physical to the technical, each serving as a reminder that progress often comes in fits and starts. Whether it's the slow growth of facial hair, the push against procrastination, or the icy leap into the unknown, it's all part of the journey.

Until tomorrow,
