I realised that my happiness was too tied to the internet and to other people, so I went outside and tried to find happiness. I looked for every colour of the rainbow in the parks / fields around me and saw the largest, fluffiest dog I have ever seen.

My happiness may not be as tied to the internet anymore, but oh my is it tied to big giant fluffy dogs!

WOW I love this comment. This sounds like such an amazing mindfulness exercise. I'm going to try it!

And yes... fluffy dogs are my mental health medication. Well, that and my actual mental health medication πŸ˜†

Not dev related: Advocated for my cat to get the care he needed at the vet hospital. They act like I'm paranoid up until they do an ultrasound and take him back to get prepped for surgery >.> Now I have a groggy cat laying next to me who gets bed rest and pain meds for the next two weeks

Dev related: Actually kept up with work this week while running on little to no sleep due to all that happening on Sunday/Monday :o

Thanks! He's doing really well, just restless since he's not allowed to jump and play like he wants to.

Managed to overcome a lot... and I mean A LOT of errors and bugs in my DO Hackaton submission project. I am amazed at how much weight the sentence 'leave it for a couple of hours' has for successful programming. I also bought a new pair of winter socks πŸ”₯🧦.

I was always scared to put my thoughts out there so starting blogging on here was a win πŸ€— and landing an interview at a place that I REALLY want to work at! πŸŽ‰ Hoping that I make it to the next round!
