Month: April 2015

I am grateful for:

My friends. They are freaking amazing people that I’m bless with having in my life.

Learning more with building this site. Which goes live on Thursday…no pressure.  I want more of a challenge and I got it. Very grateful for it.

Not being a start up. I suspected how much work goes into a start up and now I’ve seen it first hand.

Today is over. It was an odd day filled with things making it harder but nothing bad happen. It was just long and draining.

Rain. It was short and sweet but we need more of you, sweetheart.

I am grateful for:

Learning how to connect things I already learned to the learning new things on this project.

I got my first pay check from the project that I’m currently working on. It’s the first project that I’ve work with a client’s team and with WooCommerce. Site will finally launch on Thursday.

Haven’t been feeling well lately but it’s still been manageable.  Haven’t been sleeping well lately but I’ve been napping when I can to get a little bit of added rest.

I’ve been working on pulling a tarot card a day to work on my communication, and inspiration skills. It’s been helpful for me practice explaining things and my talk story skills.

Today’s card is The Wheel of Fortune. Which can mean Good luck, karma, life cycles, destiny, a turning point. Old chapter is closing and things are turning your way. Be open and don’t hide from it.

I am grateful for today:

My friends. Did I mention they rock?

Not getting sunburned and bite by bugs too badly.

Great conversations with friends.

That I’m taking resting breaks/naps when I can.  I have a lot on my plate and haven’t been sleeping well. So taking care of myself by putting little blankets of time to rest through out the day helps.

Getting some of my tea back. I notice things of mines missing since my uncle came and today I discovered about 80% of my tea collection gone, which I’ve been collecting for years and worth a few hundred dollars. He claim it was a misunderstanding and return most of it but there is about 20% missing.

 

I am grateful for:

My very first beginner’s jQuery class today. I have to review what I learned tonight and tomorrow to hopeful see what clicked and what needs to be worked on.

I was able to redeem 3 of 4 Groupons that expired today between running errands.

That my waitress rocked. One of my groupon the manager told me it was dine in only. So I told my waitress that I was going to box what I order and I will tip her. She gave me recommendations so I wouldn’t have to pay tax, and I got lunch and dinner of the deal.

I got rockstar parking on all the places I when today even through it was packed.

I found shoes that support my arch. My arch has been slowly and painfully collapsing over the past two weeks. The arch support I bough wasn’t good enough and I order some online but they were back order.  After picking up my car at the train station today, I don’t know why I when to Nordstrom Rack, but glad I did.  I found these great sandals design by equestrians…they are amazing. The brand is Dansko.

I am grateful for:

Being paid to do websites. I realize this a while ago, that around web developers/designers, I tend not to talk shop because I feel inadequate with my coding skills. I caught myself talking about what I’m learning coding with great passion with people outside communty when they made the mistake of asking me how my day/week was…I usually have to stop myself when I see the glazed over look in their eyes.

My friends and family and their support.

Surviving a very challeging few days. It’s been a trying few weeks and I know my current situation isn’t normal. Really don’t know why I question my abilities, when I’m handing this.

Finally finished my 12 unit class today with the last 5 hours of class and we passed at the end.

Getting do bodywork today and getting worked on. I miss doing bodywork and I would like to do it as a side job a few times a month again.

 

I am grateful for:

My friends. I love and adore them.

I wrote using SASS for the first time today. Anybody can teach me/go over the basics how to use Code Kit or/and git tower?

My current project. I’m learning a lot.

Did my first very simple WordPress Plugin. I so over thought it but I also realize that my reading and understanding PHP is better.  Now understand how it works better in a theme.

Skipping class tonight and sleeping.  Haven’t been feeling well since beginning of last weekend, and I think it’s a mixture of stress and exhaustion. My body still physically hurts and still lacking enough rest but I’m glad that I didn’t push myself.
