I got a LOT done today. It might have something to do with the fact that I got up before 1 pm today, or the iced coffee I had, but I actually have somewhat of a blog post in store today!

I woke up this morning and cleaned up a little, but I do that mindlessly, so eventually I tore myself away and got ready for the day around 10am. My favorite part about being up that early is seeing the sun super bright, and I especially love going out early in the day because 9x/10 my car will be nice and warm! That’s just a silly plus.

I went to this boutique place to see if they were open, but just my luck, they’re closed on Mondays. I love the sun, but I hate Mondays in general, especially early Mondays. Nothing is open, and I’m a day-driver only. I never do this, but today after that, nothing felt suitable. My day plans got spoiled and so I just drove. Originally, I was going to go to Barnes and Noble, but it was 11 in the morning, and I didn’t have any of my supplies with me to do any kind of design, or read, or write, so I drove off, eventually finding my way to a park I always go to with my boyfriend, Brandon. I didn’t even end up going all the way there, I took a random right turn and kept driving. I get really turned around where I live, even though I’ve been here three years, so I like to practice by seeing where I can drive without maps, and try to get home. This time, I was just trying different ways, and I have to say- I’m very impressed with how well I did despite how little I’ve been out recently.

I tried the new Dunkin’ iced coffee today- the DunKing. I got it with oat milk and sugar (yes, it already came with cold-foam, french vanilla swirl, and vanilla syrup) because I like sweet coffee and Dunkin’ notoriously has very bitter coffee if you don’t sweeten it enough… and that’s coming from a (very sad I don’t work there anymore) ex-Dunkin’ employee. This coffee though, I sipped it, and audibly said ”Mmmm!”. I am really picky with my coffee (as well as basically everything I eat) so if it gets my stamp of approval, consider it at least decent.

When I got home, I decided to just settle down and work on the site. It’s now 10pm, so I’ve put in a solid 8 hours today of just coding, and I can’t believe how much I’ve learned in the little amount of time I’ve been doing this, and with no java-script, just like I said I would do:) I think I just wanted to prove that I could do it, and now that I did, I think I’ll work on a second project of some kind, probably for a personal cause.

I’m getting tired, so I’ll probably save this second project for tomorrow and dive into some Walking Dead for the night. If you actually read this far, I hope you like my site…. and Mom, if you’re reading this, I’m gonna ask about that gif for proof!! (It matches my newly embedded song on the main page!)

Until next time,
