I've been working for hours on this page today but I really feel like it's coming together. Every time I add more to this site I feel like I learn something new. There's like a billion things I wanna add. Each page takes sooo long and I have so many ideas for pages and the sections within them. I wonder if anyone's reading this? I can't imagine they are. I feel like i'm speaking into the void.
ps. why is blinkie/button/stamp/favicon 'shopping' SO addictive?!

I didn't get as long to work on this today as I had to get my 10k steps in, deep clean the bathroom, home ed my kid etc. But I've mainly worked on moving everything over to Visual Code Studio. I wish I did it right off the bat. The interface is sooo much better and I installed a pretty theme on it. My code is sooo much more organised and being able to see changes live as they happen is a game changer.
Doing it all in split screen on my little mac is a nightmare though so I've ordered a monitor which arrives tomorrow- yay! I swear not every entry will be about coding, it's just been the majority of my life right now.

My monitor arrived! It fit so perfectly in the space! I got all the tidying done early as well as my 10k steps so I could spend the evening coding and here I am now, on the biggest screen I've ever worked on (I'm used to my tiny mac!) and everything is sooo much easier.
Anyway, this morning my kid opened a 'pride shop' in his room. I have no clue what it had to do with pride because it was just a bunch of random items organised for me to 'buy'—none pride related. But yayy to representation. He loves creating little 'events' for me to wake up to. Usually it's surprise parties or shows. So cute.
In other news my first crochet stall of the summer is literally next week, I always get so nervous even though I've done it countless times. I really should get making stuff but there's sooo much I wanna add to this site and it's so addictive!
On the plus side, I am getting soo much quicker at setting up pages so hopefully that'll speed the process of getting all my pages up and running, then it'll just be a matter of adding entries and tweaking things.

It's technically the 27th now as it's gone 2am but I wanted to get a quick entry in before bed. I have been sooo busy redoing my site. I practically started from scratch because my old code was so messy with no consistent theme. Now it's my fave colour (lilac) and just screams me much more than the other one did. My family is probs getting bugged at me showing them every tiny little update I make to this site but I'm so proud that I can actually do it! When I started learning HTML in May I could never see myself being able to do anything past putting a header and some basic pictures on a page.
Anyway, life has been semi-busy I guess. My kid (I feel like I need to give him a code name for this site bc it feels weird saying his name but also weird calling him a literal baby goat) but anyway, he got a certificate at gym yesterday which was cute. The gym had disco lights in the high ceiling to celebrate and he asked the teacher how she got the lights up there as it's so high. The teacher told him she has secret wings and I'm not joking when I tell you he couldn't stop asking about them. I tried explaining she was just joking but he was insistant that she really does have them 😂 Maybe she really does. Who am I to judge?
He did soooo much writing voluntarily today so that was good, it takes the pressure off of needing to do a crazy amount of home ed when he does writing and stuff himself. We have also made a kind of routine of going on the trampoline every evening together which is cute. There are a few games we play on there. One where I lay and roll side to side and he has to jump over me like a skipping rope, one where I become a tickle monster and chase him round the trampoline and one which is kind of like 'bop it' but with instructions like 'tuck','spin' etc. He enjoys it so much and it's really cute to spend time together while also getting steps in. Today we took his chalk outside and drew train tracks on the trampoline, he then brought out his toy trains and we roleplayed with them.
He's in his question phase at the moment and the questions he comes out with are so obscure sometimes, recently I've had, 'what's a mollusc?' (like bro I'm embarassed that I don't have a clue), 'what is urination?' WHILE IN THE TAXI (he 100% knows what this is btw!), 'what time is 6 o'clock?' and so on.
I'm so glad I have somewhere to write all this stuff and keep it in one place because I feel like I forget so much of what he says and I know I'll love looking at this down the line. Anyway, he goes to my mums tomorrow night so i'll probably pull an all-nighter coding because I'm painfully addicted. But for now, I should probably attempt to sleep- it's 2:20am ugh 😩
