It's been a couple of weeks...

It's been a couple of weeks since I had time to peek in the greenhouse. Most of the plants are doing pretty well, if a little thirsty. I'll have time this week to clean up, tend them, and get them hydrated. I'm excited to spend some time with my babies. 😊

I just woke up from a letdown migraine, because of course I did. 😂🫠

If anyone wants to see my Personal Website Project, here it is. I'm really proud how it turned out.  www.polishallthethings.com

I don't know if anyone is really interested in how it was built, but I used Flowbite components and styled it with Tailwind CSS. My Contact Form (for now) is made with EmailJS, but I do plan to switch over to React when I have time. There's also a lot I want to add, especially in regards to the Blog because I have years of nail content, but this is a great start.

I think it turned out pretty and fun. I love my semi-transparent menus and the gradient background. No, there is no store linked at this moment, but that's ok; everything is a work in progress. The last 10 weeks of the bootcamp were mainly focused on our capstone, so I wasn't able to prioritize this site.

Anyway, let me know what you think!

Tomorrow is my graduation...

Tomorrow is my graduation from the CNM Deep Dive Full-Stack Web Development program. It's been a fun 12 weeks and I've learned a ton.

If anyone wants to attend my presentation/graduation virtually, here is the Zoom link. I'll be presenting my personal website project, as well as our capstone web application.

Presentations start at 10; our team specifically will present at 11 Mountain Time/Noon Central.

I'm proud of this.

Cub giving me puppy eyes...

Cub giving me puppy eyes while I'm over here in crunch time working on this website and presentation that are both due Friday.

I just want to stop and love all over him. ❤️ Come get your boy. I don't need this distraction. 😂

I'm stressed. And sad. And tired.

I'm about to get some sleep.

This is the last week of the bootcamp. I think we're officially done coding on Wednesday, then we have Thursday to work on our presentations... which is kind of a big deal because there will be employers there.

I ate too much junk food because of my birthday and I've got the inflammation to prove it. Psoriasis on my face before this presentation? Sure, why not. I will try to eat clean this week and hope it helps.

I did some retail therapy at like, 3 this morning. We don't have extra money right now, but I bought myself two pairs of skates. I haven't skated in at least a year. 😬😭 I miss it and I dream about it all the time. But Bear doesn't like the sound, so doing it at home is out of the question. When I was working, I found it hard to get to the skate park. After I was laid off, it wasn't on my mind. But after I started this bootcamp, I really started craving an outlet and some alone time, so that's probably why I've been dreaming about it. I love to put on some earbuds and just ride my feet.

For what it's worth, I bought both pairs from ebay. They are barely used - seriously, the wheels aren't even dirty. 😳 I got them half off of retail, and one pair even comes with an extra set of wheels. 😳😳😳 They're both a larger size than my current outdoor Chaya Melrose skates, so hopefully they'll be more comfortable. One reason I stopped skating so much was because those skates made my feet go to sleep after a while, so that's probably not a good sign. 😂

I told Shaun today that I shopped, and he was like "Happy Birthday, I guess." 😂 He's so patient with me.

But also, I'm probably gonna sell my Chaya Melrose skates. They're in super great condition; I just feel strongly that they belong on smaller feet. I did measure my foot the way all of the videos said to before I bought them, but my feet are wide and the narrow toe box never loosened up enough. 🤷🏻

Anyway. I was just having a ramble to clear my mind so I can sleep.

Wish me luck. It's a big week.

❤️❤️❤️
