Victory Road

So this morning I went for my blood test, which was annoying in that the usual place was closed without notice (there's only ever one person there so I'mma guess they called in sick or something of the sort, presumably? they'd have someone to cover if it was planned??), so I went to the one across the road. Which was fine, no dramas, but I was pretty hungry when I woke up, and the combo of exercise + blood loss before eating meant I felt like shit.

So I came home and ate and ended up sleeping until mid-afternoon even though I'd gone to the trouble of getting up early and putting washing on before I left, siiiigh. Also, still feeling kinda off two meals and more than twelve hours later, which isn't super great (though I'm also tired which doesn't help either).

Still, it got done, and I did do SOME work on the cat run this afternoon, though unfortunately not as much as I wanted. But progress is progress, so there's that!

Also did a bit of work on the coding project, though not as much as I'd hoped there either, not enough brain. Plus I need to get to bed at a time where I'll actually wake up in the morning, 'cause Mama and me are going on a field trip tomorrow! :3 :3 :3

I would like to say I did nothing but eat chocolate and laze around, today. Unfortunately, that would be a lie.

I also cleaned the chook coop.

But I did extremely little other than eat chocolate and read fic, and it was very nice! :3 :3 :3

Tomorrow I'mma attempt to go worship at the feet of Saint Mark Downs after I get up, and then Mama and I are planning on rejigging the cat run. It uh. It really needs it! It's falling apart a bit, and also we need to move some of it, they've kinda dug up all the grass etc., that area needs some time to heal. XD;;; So hopefully it'll go okay! The cats will be Most Upset when they lose access to the run, and it'll just get worse if it takes multiple days to fix...

I did a BUNCH of work on my project today, and it's going great! :D I need to decide how I want to do the homepage, and top-level navigation is a wip - I've got it as a sidebar, but I'm thinking it might be better as a top bar. I'd have to do something different for mobile view anyway, since sidebars REALLY don't work well on mobile, so a sticky nav bar might be a good idea? Or some kind of dropdown / pull out menu / something.

But I got it to auto-generate template pages (this is in the preprocessing with the json extraction, too, so it's all my own code which is nice), and I got the pagination working, and some extremely ugly basic CSS so there's some kind of layout stuff! (The colours are. Well. You can technically read what's on the screen, but mostly they're selected so that they've all very obvious as to what is what, which is by nature extremely clashing. It's fine, this is how I work, but it's ugly as hell.)

Next major part is figuring out how to get the chat exporter to run and automatically get all the channels I want! May put it on a timer, though hopefully I can get it to check if there have been any new messages since the last time it ran and only update stuff if it needs to. But if nothing else should be able to get it to update all the stuff at a press of a button, as it were. :3 :3 :3

I was gonna start the other sock project I've got planned today, but apparently we don't have any 2.25mm DPN sets. :/ ( Needle-related rambling )

Other than that... work was whatever, and after work I did as I'd planned and checked for hot cross buns. There were none!!!

( Hot Cross Buns on Good Friday are IMPORTANT, DAMNIT. )

Also I have no more work until the week after next I'm so happy~~~ |D Still, sleepy now, so bedtime. Yes.
