See y'all later. It's felt like a long week.

I woke up this morning at 4 with a migraine.

I woke up this morning at 4 with a migraine. I think it's the first one I've had in about 6 weeks. We're 6 weeks into the Web Dev bootcamp (halfway through!) and I can't recall having one since we started.

My teachers recorded the part of the class that I missed, so I'll watch it this weekend. I joined the class Zoom meeting halfway through the day. My migraine meds knock me out and I took them around 7 after trying hard to not need them, so I was knocked out for the first half.

When I joined, I was sluggish and my vision wasn't great, but the teachers were super patient with me and I completed the day.

I'm feeling mostly better now; I just hate how the meds leave me feeling slow and sleepy. I'm gonna shower soon and call it a night. Some extra sleep will do me good, probably.

I hope your week is going well. ❤️

Shaun got pretty close to a roadrunner this morning.

The way we communicate... 😂😂😂

The way we communicate... 😂😂😂 

I swear, I don't know why Shaun puts up with my shit, but these days especially, I put myself first. I take my time on the weekends since I'm going hard during the week at the bootcamp. I wake up late. I lay around. I do whatever feels nice.

I don't know how/why he doesn't wake up later or rest when he needs to, but he's gotta figure that out for himself and also say the words to me if he needs something from me. I think he would tell me if he needed anything, but I could be wrong.

Side note:  He's great at using gifs to express himself. I'm great at getting what he means when he uses them. I'm terrible at picking them to show my feelings, though. I wonder if that's at all related to why I never know what my own face is doing. 😂

GPS took me a different route to class this morning.

GPS took me a different route to class this morning. I'm so geographically challenged that I didn't realize I was going to pass by Bumblebee. It made my day to see him! 😊

A couple of weeks ago I found mealy bugs in several of my plants.

A couple of weeks ago I found mealy bugs in several of my plants. I tried Diatomaceous Earth for a week, and they were NOT phased. 😬 Shaun helped me add pesticide (which I hate doing) and water them last weekend, but the greenhouse is staying closed, so hopefully no local pollenators will be affected.

I checked on them today and had a few flower surprises. I guess they're doing ok. I've had so little time to pamper them since starting class. 🥲

I love these weirdos!

I'm gonna check this again tomorrow. I hope to catch it more open!

So teensy!

I'm not sure if I missed it or it's just starting. I'll have to check back.

Pretty in Pink

This one is still happy and open!

I posted the other day about dumping Adrian's food in the trash and trying to feed her the empty can.

I just smeared Estrogen cream all over my face by accident. Thank goodness I caught myself before applying the wrong cream to my downstairs. 😂

The exhaustion is real. Goodnight, y'all. 😂😂😂

I'm so exhausted.

I'm so exhausted. Like, the brainpower I'm using in this bootcamp is next-level.

It's not a complaint, though. I'm learning a lot and having fun.

I've gotten a lot better at HTML and CSS and JavaScript individually, but now we're on a combination of the 3 called JSX. I love the organization of pages and the efficiency of creating page elements once and calling them to where they're needed, but this is so much syntax and it looks weird. 😂

It was our first day using it, so I'm sure it'll get easier.

I gotta go to sleep, though. My brain is DONE with this day.

Shaun was playing with Bear today...

Shaun was playing with Bear today and got a little injury. Bear kind of headbutted Shaun on the side of the face.

It's not a huge deal and it was an accident, but I guess this is how it goes when some of your teeth live outside of your mouth. 😂

It's so bright in person! 😍

The exhaustion is real. It's barely past 8:30 and I've tucked myself in. I'll wake up when I wake up tomorrow. 😴😴😴

In the Web Dev bootcamp, we often need to generate Lorem Ipsum as filler text. One of the instructors gave us a few links to choose from, so of course I chose the cat one. It's funnier than I thought it would be (crusty butthole, catasstrophe 👀). 😂😂😂 I'm not sure if it would fly in a work environment, but I definitely used it today for our challenge.

Here is the link in case anyone wants to try it:

Friday, I saw a balloon launching on the way to class.

Friday, I saw a balloon launching on the way to class. Today, there was a whole flock. The view when they were rising in front of the mountain was spectacular, but it wasn't a safe time for photography, so you get the power line view instead because I was stopped at a light.

I had to recover from a headache when I got home from class.

I had to recover from a headache when I got home from class. I had a pretty good day; I'm still really enjoying myself. ...But I did get stressed and internally melted down because I couldn't find a file in my computer. 😬

I was supposed to be learning to use Tailwind for my projects, but instead I was panicking and searching my folders and repositories for a file I'd just used the previous day, or possibly the day before. I was hung up and couldn't stop spinning out for about 45 minutes. It was so dumb.

I eventually found the file and made a note in my Rocketbook about its location. We'd done something different in class and weren't uploading those files to the student server like we had been, so that was part of my confusion.

Anyway, I was fine after that, although headachey. I don't love it when I lose control of my brain like that, but I did need part of the data in that file to move on to the next thing, so it wasn't completely unwarranted. But I know that even if I hadn't needed it I would have done the same thing. I struggle to make progress when things are in disarray or don't make sense or I feel lost. I need to feel oriented and calm to be at my best.

Week 2 of 12 is in the books. I feel like I've learned so much. I have a lot of homework this weekend, but that's to be expected. At least I'm really into doing it. 😊

I only had to use one streak freeze...

I only had to use one streak freeze, and I missed that day by literally 2 minutes. I forgot that Duo doesn't operate on Blu time - by that I mean it's the same day if I haven't gone to sleep. 😂😂😂

We watched this in class today.

We watched this in class today. It's pretty interesting if you like nerd stuff. 😊

We're officially starting on our Personal Website Projects in class and I'm so excited I could puke.  😂

Shadow gave me a snack for school this morning.
