2.1.26, Work

2:17PM, Hello!!! Longtime no talk, opened at work so got off a bit earlier today which is nice, spending the next 45min or so still at work, looking over my site and seeing how I can improve it, I need to keep a log of eventual changes to make... Work was good, was busy, felt in the way for most of it, but I made a few jokes that landed well with my coworkers so thats always nice.

2:19PM, I need to learn how to make a dropdown menu for my microblog since its a new month, and I want to be able to catalouge the microblog by month. I also want to make a TWISTYROOTS calender page... I have a couple personal holidays I like to celebrate that I think would be cool to share.

7:46PM, Ended up trying the potential car fix yesterday, and took my car for a 25ish mile test drive, ended up doing really well, I will try to take it for a 40ish mile test drive on Tuesday, will hopefully do equally well. If this fix did work, I am so greatful. I will need to get a new car regardless, but gaining the freedom to leave my small town again will feel so nice. Its been 6+ months being stuck here. And I have freedom (hopeful) once again.

1.30.26, Work - River - Fear

1:38PM, The last two days have been quite busy and a bit emotional leaving me a lack of extra energy to spend time creating/writing. I worked today but it was so slow that I was cut. Which I guess its nice, I was able to get a sandwich and am about to head down to the river to read/write, and eat said sandwich.

11:40PM, Update on my car... It is far to damaged to be worth repairing which is not really a suprise, its just sad. She is still okay to be driven locally, and there may be a temporary fix. But its not guarnted, nor highly recommended by the mechanics, but I will still give it a shot. I am tired. I want to sleep but I know going down to the river will be nice.

1.28.26, Car Troubles - River(?)

11:08AM, Stayed up to late agian, it was a monster of my own creation... Was up until 2AM, damn... Anyway I liked the new episode of Fallout, will probably rewatch it this evening because again I watched it at like 1AM... Sorted some stuff to give away, took my car to the mechanics, ate breakfast with my mom.... Chicken and Waffels yummm!!! Now trying to plan the rest of the day, I want to swim in the river, and drink sparkling water. Ill see if I can make that happen.

1.27.26, Work - Plans - Septum Sex Cult

6:36PM, Work was good today, pretty mellow all things considered. I have the day off tommorow, and I will probably end up hanging out with a friend, get my car looked at (a few lights popped up this week D-:") and need to do some laundry. I think Im going to have roasted veggies for dinner.

6:38PM, Spent the last hour or so looking into Grid, Flexboxes, and html postioning I do not feel any further educated. I should probably just watch a tutorial... but I dont just want to copy a template, not that there is anything wrong with using templates, just I like the struggle of trying things and fucking around with code. But I guess the only way to learn, is by learning.

6:43PM, ALSO I hope everyone can tell but my site logo is an apple. I dont even like apples all that much but it made more sense then like an acorn. Maybe I will change it to be a walnut, but IDK...

8:03PM, Oh also something that really stuck with me today was at work a regular (well into his 60s) asked me if my septum piercing meant something... Like if it was a code, or signal.... I should have asked him what he meant. But it was obvious he was just trying to push the boundries and like insunate it was to communicate a fetish or something. He was supposedly asking because his "daughter was planning on getting her septum pierced", like babe. Are you serious... Next time someone asks me what it means Im going to just say it was mandatory for my entry into the satanic sex cult. My dad pulled this shit all the time, challenging strangers and trying to make them feel small, perhaps I am being to sensetive but it really is annoying, and also its okay because this regular does this stuff often (ie making every other coworker who does and has worked there feel weird/uncomfortable by being a sex pest or just being a freak) so now its my chance to complain.

1.26.26, Work - Roasted Veggies - Star Trek TNG

8:47PM, Hiii, Long time no talk, well my day was good. I really did appreciate earlier me for premaking my breakfast/coffee, so waking up to that was pretty magical. I had a hard time falling asleep last night which sucked, and almost overslept for work, whoops. But work was good, mellow for the most part, a few regulars who I havent seen for a while came in today so it was nice to catch up and chat with them.

8:50PM, I feel like I had something more substantial to report on... I did make some roasted veggies for dinner which was nice. Agian I forgot to take photos... Sorry, who can blame a girl. I gave my dog a wash, and now she is clean and smells like coconut which is silly and fun. She did really well. In Nov. she was atacked by another dog and has been pretty nervous around other dogs, but she was well behaved in the pet store which was awesome. I started rewatching Star Trek TNG which is great, Ive missed it a lot, I rewatched it pretty often during 2021-2022 so it does have some added nostalgia beyond my original viewing in childhood.

1.25.26, Rotting

2:32PM, Today I have just been laying in bed. Yesterday felt really diffcult even if there was nothing emotionally draining that occurred, I ended up staying up pretty late, around midnight, which is uncommon for me. I ended up doing karaoke to songs from Cabaret if that clues you into how I felt.

2:42PM, On a brighter note, I am so deeply appreciative of all the follows/interactions my site has gotten this past week, TY!! I am excited to see how my site changes as I continue to learn best practices for HTML coding.

8:24PM, Ate the rest of my roasted veggies I made this morning, wish I took a photo of it, very yummy. Im starting to get sleepy, I will prob watch an episode or two of The Pitt before I go to bed. I have to be up at 5:30 which isnt too early just early enough that I know I will be groggy when I wake up.... Perhaps I should premake my coffee/breakfast.

8:30PM, Will hopefully make time to respond to Guestbook messages, and filing my taxes tommorow. I also need to call my sisters.

1.24.26, Work

1:37PM, About to head out for work, ended up eating a furikake bagel+a yummy salad for breakfast. Walked dog, called a friend, saw my sister. This evening I hope to work on my site a bit more!

6:16PM, Im home, yay! Im tired and have no clue what I am eating for dinner... There are a couple important things that happend 4-6 years ago now that I dont have the dates written down for, but need to figure them out... These things felt very life changing and I think having a clear undertsanding on how much time has passed since them will be important for me to continue to move forward. I am unsure how to confirm the timeline as I was not daily journaling at the time, and have since lost all access to photos that may help me pinpoint exact dates.

1.23.26, Pimples - Deleting Social Media

8:15AM, I have never really had facial acne before but for some reason these last two weeks I have been forming little pimples on my face, Ive been washing my bedding more often to try and help. But I fear it might be releated to me recently switching my hair wash products... I really like them but if they ruin my skin then I have to stop using them... Heartbreak

9:29AM, Made breakfast, fed dog, now watching Im Not Okay With This, should put away produce, and walk dog. And also figure out what Im going to wear to work today.

10:51AM, Havent walked dog yet, But! Im in the process of deleting my tiktok, and instagram, I am hopefully going to stay off Tiktok for a year or so, and instagram a couple months. I hate how much social media has taken all my free time away from me.

1:00PM, Called my friend while I walked dog, spent the last 30min or so looking through some really sweet sites, makes me want to work on my layout. I havent offically deleted tiktok yet but I plan to this evening... Its embarrassingly diffcult for me to do so... Shame

1:31PM, About to head off to work, I am drinking instant coffee, while I have a very expensive esspresso machine sitting on my kitchen counter, shame, anyways I think I want to write a more formal post about my journey with HRT, I was on it for a year NOV 2024-NOV 2025, and stopped for multiple reasons, but have really been considering starting it again. Will be intresting to write about it, and explore in depth why I paused my medical transtion.

5:26PM, Got off work, now need to walk the dog, have to find my headphones first, well dont need to but would rather be able to.

7:44PM, Waiting for my brother to leave for work, and then I can use the kitchen, sadly we dont really get along so we keep out of eachothers way for the most part... Wanting to add some more content to the site but I also like its minimalism.... It kind of reminds me of a newspaper? Maybe whenever I end up (re)formating the layout I will take insporation from newspapers.

7:47PM, One of my coworkers made me a playlist, I dont really listen to much music so its nice to listen to something thats not just the 5 playists I constantly replay. Im very greatful.

1.22.26, Work - 9-1-1 S9E9 - The Pitt S2E3

7:05AM, Off to work I go, It should be fairly slow today, my manager has been working like 8 days in a row, so I hope she has the day off today, but we shall see... Best wishes to all, I hope to start moving some writing over today. But we shall see.

6:04PM, Im sadly so deeply Buddie Maxxing that 9-1-1 can not make me care about Harrys storyline in the slightest. I really enjoyed the opening montage, and also Aisha Hinds really potrayed Hen well this episode, probably my favourite episode focusing on her in a while.

7:40PM, Ate chicken salad, now watching The Pitt, thinking about getting a new car. Damn that sucks...

9:10PM, The Pitt, S2EP3 was really sweet, I am worried about Louie after reading a reddit post that his storyline might be ending in tragedy. I understand it would make sense and lead to opportunities for character growth. But...

9:14PM, Started watching Veronica Mars for the first time.

1.21.26, Site Updates - Finished Plurbis

8:51AM, Goodmorning, slept in, was up too late last night, but today will be an awesome day.

9:13AM, Its not an awesome day, I fucked something up within my CSS and its broken my website.

11:07AM, Stepped away for a bit because I was stressing myself out, but it somehow either fixed itself or I did something right, the world will never know, I need to fix the nav bar now. I will try and use postioning to fix it, should be farely easy. I hope.

11:11AM, Okay it fixed itself. YAY. Now I need to start working with grids!

11:38AM, I know I should just watch a tutorial but, Plurbis.

11:47AM, Okay, I made an emoji, or at least I think I did,

1:44PM, I spent an hour or so making 2 buttons for my site, I like the first one more, but the second also is silly.

5:32PM, This diary is very obviously becoming just a glorified update log... But anyways added the Neighbors page, adjusted some CSS to make the site more compatible (but still not optimized) for phone screens. I also am working on creating a sitemap, due to the fact the Nav bar is running out of room quickly....

7:16PM, Hello! I washed all my bedding, or at least most of it, and am about to eat dinner, and watch PLurbis.

1.20.26, Site Updates - Started Plurbis

6:56AM, Morning, about to head off to work, sleepy. I plan to work on the reacurring issue of my nav bar and the main text of my site coliding whenever the screen in minimized, I think I need to work on flex containers idk what those are but Ive seen them in some of the code Ive been looking at... We shall see...

6:04PM, Afternoon, I am sleepy. Work was good, its quite after the busy holiday weekend, I have tommorow off, and hope to put some time into improving the cites code. I think Im going to start watching Plurbis.

7:02PM, Okay after some reseach, it seems I will need to learn about grid systems, not flex containers, I dont know where to start...

1.19.26, Snack - Site Updates

4:29PM, Got off work, ate a yummy maple blackberry scone now looking at my website, and thinking what I want to add to it... Should be showering, and cleaning but alas, I am not...

8:02PM, I got my nav bar working yayyy!!!

8:03PM, Now going to eat dinner!

1.18.26, The Birth of the Site

4:38PM, Laying on my bed, trying to avoid doing tasks, so I decided to spend my time fucking around and trying to build a site...

7:55PM, Finally figured out how to get this stupid boarder to look somewhat decent... lets see if I even end up liking it....

7:58PM, Well... The padding is a bit fucked up but... I guess it will work for now....

8:10PM, I think I found a happy medium. 2.5% padding seems to be okay, will probably mess around with it later. But for now I think Im going to call it a night. TTYL!

8:43PM, I lie... I ended up getting all the pages linked up with index page yayy... okay now I can eat dinner... TTYL for real now
