Magic Loop: It may or may not be magic, but also. No.

Today was very much a fibrearts day!

Mama and I went on a field trip to the wool mill, and I got... considerably less stuff than Mama did! I just want to point that out, I got WAY LESS than she did!

great news

I didn't want to give too much away about my IRL situation, but the fence has been busted for a long time. In 2020 there was going to be a community/city project to fix it, but the pandemic happened. Then various storms and whatnot made a piece of the fence just fall over which is a huge safety hazard I've lost sleep over lol. But it costs thousands to fix and we don't make that money, which is really bad because the city has been getting on us about how if it isn't fixed by a certain span of time, they might take the house and shit. (I don't know the legalese but yes, they can do this...)

So we're fucked. UNTIL. Some lady moved in next door and my mother was dead convinced she hates us because she built a mini fence in her front yard to divide our lawns (?!???) (our lawn is ugly lol). But then last week she was outside, saw my mother in the backyard, which isn't hard because... a part of the fence is gone... she just said that fence needs to be fixed and she'll bring her friends over to do it next week. That week is now and they've been helping a lot. Holy shit. My paycheck doesn't come until later today and it isn't much, but I am going to be giving these guys money in two weeks.

Bodies are stupid: not news, still annoying.

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

Today's random after-midnight question: wtf base are roman numerals in?

I've got no frickin' idea. Azy, who knows way more about maths than me, also doesn't know. Possibly the answer is on wiki or something but it's nice to just noodle about a mystery for a while, too. Gives your thinkmeats some exercise.

Anyway, today I did things! Shopping, cat run maintenance, tidying, project )

Anyway now I should REALLY be going to bed whoops. >>;; Gonna try and remember to do my blood test in the morning, forgot to do it last week. Whoops!

Chocolate Day!!!!

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...

(no subject)

Hi, friends.

I'm doing much better than I was last week. Work wasn't nearly as stressful or anxiety-inducing, and I am trying very hard to be kind to myself. I have to remind myself that I am always learning, always changing--and I have to give grace to myself when I make a mistake or try something new It isn't easy, but I think my therapist would be proud of me.

A few happy things:

1. I had a an appointment with my amazing hair stylist, and I have a new hair color! I've had purple hair for a long time, and had planned to add some pink. With how my hair color had faded, my stylist thought it'd be easier to add blue, so that's what we did! Now, I have black roots with blended blue and purple. I really, really love how it turned out.

2. Today, I visited my local queer bookstore, which is quickly becoming my favorite bookstore and one of my all-time favorite places. I  bought two new books: 
A/S/L by Jeanne Thornton and Storm Season by Janvier Olszon. I snagged a signed copy of Storm Season, which is always exciting. I also got a zine about scrubbing your files of data and two new stickers. :3 

3. The RuPaul's Drag Race finale aired last night! I want to know your thoughts! (I also miss the older seasons SO MUCH, but that's a discussion for another day.) 

4. I opened Novlr and started files for various writing projects. It isn't much--in fact, it's basically nothing--but it's a start. I want to feel inspired again. 


I also want to take a moment to express how much I appreciate DreamWidth. What a relief it is to see a notification and not feel pressure to respond immediately. I love the lack of algorithms. I love how I can journal and still connect with others. I love not having my content controlled by billionaires. Maybe one day, I'll have to courage to quit Meta for good. 


Sending love and Baja Blasts, 

ktea

Whee, project!

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

Now taking tutorial requests

If anyone would like me to make a tutorial about something Dreamwidth related, or how it compares to Tumblr, I've got request posts up on Newcomers and The Great Tumblr Purge. Also on Dreamwidth Sharing on Tumblr. Leave a comment at one of those places or direct message me, and I'll see what I can do!

Current planned tutorials include cut tags, icons in general, and image uploading/sharing on Dreamwidth.

Buns!!!

Om nom nom hot cross bun day, extremely delicious! :D

Not a whole lot other than that, really. Finished reading Shaman King - the ending is kinda. Uh. Hmm. But I enjoyed it a lot overall! Also there's a new event raid in pokemon, so I did that! Surprisingly straightforward, honestly, which was nice. Also went for a walk with Mama, which was great, the weather was really nice today! :3

Also worked on my project a bit more - finally got stuff to actually show up on the page! :O! So I'm probably something like halfway done, given the amount of issues I had getting that to work! Next is deciding on what actual layout tags I want to be using, so I can format it nicely, then pagination. Functionality first, CSS later, hahaha.

But I don't have enough brain left to work on that any more tonight, so it's time for bed! :3
