It's amusing how I tend to get lost in the midst of the most random of projects but I'm well aware that, at times, it's a tell-tale sign that I am desperately deflecting. Hahahaha. Although, this still makes better use of my time than wading in a puddle of my tears for days on end. Hahahaha.
On a serious note, the pandemic has frankly got me feeling out of sorts and it continues to. I know it has been just as difficult for everyone I care about so I can't even have a decent conversation with anyone without feeling awful for not being okay.
Falling back into working on web designs had surprisingly brought about so much comfort. It's a little stressful and time consuming (as are most projects, I suppose) but it allows me to be a version of myself that I miss being — focused, determined, and certain. It's a pocket of time when I don't feel like I'm a mess and I can be confident that every sizable problem has a solution — contrary to how I have often been feeling. I hope everyone has something that makes them feel like this.
It's a state of mind that differs slightly from when I draw. I get excited and inspired all the same but coding is impersonal enough that I can handle disappointment without wanting to immediately give up. I fail better at it and I just honestly wish I failed better at more things.
Now, on to blog update things!
The blog is nowhere near where I want it to be but it's just that much closer. I'm happy how it turned out so far. It's a touch more responsive and I sprinkled animations here and there to make it a little less static.

- Added a landing page (Still needs work)
- Added portfolio (Still needs plenty of work)
- Added Fancybox 3 plugin for portfolio gallery
- Added skills, experience and interests section (Favorite)
- Reworked 'about' page
- Added animations
- Fixed element layering
- Revamped navigation menu
I think those are the main things. I honestly live for update logs and in hindsight, I should've kept better track of these blog update posts so I'd be able to accurately add update versions. I'll keep better track from now on. I can't wait to be able to work on something where I can write update logs. Hahahaha. I'll keep the other ideas I've got planned unlisted for now but the one thing I'm most excited to tackle is one that Ron suggested: Dark Mode!
It's easy enough but I still have plenty of tidying left to do within the code and I am in much need of a break. Stay cuddly, friends! And remember to keep hydrated!
A moment today that I want to remember: My little brother hilariously mimicking all sorts of Charmander noises (and me doing the same) while we were in the kitchen having cookies that I had baked the day before. It's such a happy little thing.
