Dan’s brother gifted us Odin’s Ravens as a Christmas gift and we finally got a chance to play it tonight! Really enjoyed how easy it was to setup and jump into a game – no need to memorize a ton of rules or funky game mechanics (of course, Dan’s favorite part of getting a new game 🤣)

I won 2 out of 3 games, although Dan conviently remembered after my loss and starting a new game that I was allowed an extra turn. Who knows if I could’ve turned that loss around, but I was pretty pleased with this play where Dan failed to pull a green card to glide to victory while I had the exact set of cards to win:

5 days since “yeet the boobs” surgery! Relieved that the recovery is going well and I have more range of motion that I had expected but holy moly.. I was not prepared for the weird senstation of fluid sloshing around in my chest like a water bottle??

It’s normal after a major surgery (imagine a toe blister but large scale) and the body will reabsorb it but oh my gosh is it so unsettling to hear while flapping my arm like a chicken for the post-op excerises 😭

A funny little exchange on Discord between Spacey, Taneous, and myself.
For context, Spacey was explaining how a toenail randomly fell off and I respond the following:

..I’m really bad at subject switching 😅

Related amusing puns based on Spacey’s green nailpolish choice:
AvocaToes, PisToechio and… Quentoe Toerantoetoe‽

Made a quick little WordPress dashboard widget that lets me create posts with a specific category pre-selected because I know I’ll forget to select one before hitting publish. Eventually I’ll look into how to customize the widget appearance, but this will do for now 😀

Just as I was about to switch the site to live after updating the theme, I discovered a minor issue where WordPress would add a -2 on the end of my post slugs. Assuming it was an error in my code thanks to chemo-brain, I spent several hours trying to debug with little success. Had I phrased my question in the search engine better, I probably would’ve stumbled across the thread with a similiar issue and learned that WordPress doesn’t like all numeric slugs with the %post-name% permalink because of how the backend is setup much sooner 🫠

After begrudingly adding some text to my date-time-stamp-only slug solution for posts that didn’t need a seo friendly url, we now back online – huzzah! There’s some minor adjustments I need to make here and there, but happy with how everything is looking so far 😊

Spent the day in Photoshop – reorganized the panels, cleared out my actions and created new ones and finally happy with my hotkey setup. Now to GIT GUD at shading 😅

Holy moly, took a solid hour to remember how to get a local copy of the website running with hot reload – I wrote notes this time to remind me when I don’t touch the code for months again LOL.

Will be updating various bits of the website, especially fixing things that are bork on mobile view after forced to use my phone for the rough days I’m stuck in bed. Site can look fine on desktop but mobile? Ew.😅

5th Chemo session down, 2 more to gooooo!

After not touching the site for a few weeks, I found that something broke on the WP block editor. After commenting out various snippets of code, discovered that one function to center images was causing the issue. Then realized there was a WP update, sooo guessing they changed something 😅
