Week In Review 2026-08-22

This update covers Sunday 08-16-26 through Saturday 08-22-26 (icon Glossary, if needed). LIFE 🈁 This week’s musical theme: Devo, “Big Mess." 📕 Most of the week has been overtaken with thoughts of my friend A., as he is hospitalized in poor health with no hope of improvement. 📜 Work drama, both big (L.’s mind being messed with big-time) and small (new work computer and the complications of moving data from old to new; on-call support this weekend as well). ❤️‍🩹 Only two 7-minute workouts this week, again. Depression can be mitigated by a workout, yes, but not this week. L. & I walked a lot at the Illinois State Fair on Saturday 08-16, and also in our neighborhood on Monday 08-17. Neither of us were feeling too keen on working out this week. EXPLORE 🎨 My big mess post went live on Tuesday 08-18 to partially explain what’s been happening this week, with some issues left vague for obvious reasons. 🔬 Updated to Developer Beta 6 of iOS 27 and macOS 27 Golden Gate; it’s feeling more stable…
