🎸 New Day, Full Battery: Fueling up for the week ahead

Song of the Day: “Battery” – Metallica

Some days hit the ground running. Today? It was a full-throttle jolt, like a power chord straight to the soul—courtesy of my faithful companion, who apparently had urgent business in the backyard (code red: squirrels and birds on the perimeter).

Backyard secured (thanks, buddy), I hit the pavement for some garage sale hunting. The neighborhood was buzzing with them today—nothing quite like casually strolling past rows of other people’s treasures, eyeing potential impulse buys. I didn't grab much, but the fresh air, the movement, and those unexpected conversations with strangers made the morning worthwhile.

Then came the gym—today’s true test of Battery-level energy. Heavy music, heavy lifting, and sweat that was anything but light. I pushed hard, because I needed it. Mentally, physically—this was one of those days where the weights do more than sculpt muscle.

They reset the mind.

Post-workout, the ritual: shower, shave, then a quick run for dinner essentials and meal prep items for the week.

Back home, my sidekick was already revved up again—ready to play, and more than ready for dinner. Honestly? So was I.

Next week is going to be packed. Work, personal goals, side projects—it’s already shaping up to be a blur. That’s precisely why today mattered. I carved out time to move, to breathe, to eat well, and to ground myself before the chaos truly hits.

Tonight, I relax. I recover. And I remember:

Even amidst the mayhem, I hold the volume knob—and today, I absolutely cranked it.

Let me know your song of the day, your favorite quick meal prep hack, or what keeps your battery charged when life gets wild.

We’ve got this—one rep, one walk, one loud-ass riff at a time.
