👩‍💻 As much as I enjoy consulting in Product, sometimes it’s nerve-wracking when your engagement ends and you look into your next client/project.

This is my 3rd week of being in-between clients. After looking at 3 different opportunities, today I finalized the one I’ll be working on.

Start date: TBD

Day 21: mountain

📍 Heavenly Mountain Resort in Lake Tahoe, CA

Changed up my Archive page from list form to more of a paragraph layout. I think it provides a bit of a cleaner look, especially as the number of my categories grow.

Many thanks to @otaviocc for the code and @vladcampos for providing an easy to follow YouTube video on how to set it up.

Day 20: ice

It’s not quite ice (cream) but close enough – Frozen Yogurt with gummy bears + crumbled heath chocolate.

I can’t believe I’m writing one of these again already. I feel like I just wrote my very first one a few hours ago. Alas, here we go again…

Day 19: birthday

Went glamping in 2022 for my birthday. LC set this up in our tent and it was a pleasant surprise!

It’s 9:01PM PST, which means Taylor Swift’s new album The Tortured Poets Department is officially out.

Favorite tracks still pending.

I’ve been on a mini Taylor hiatus this year due to not wanting to hear anymore about Travis, but couldn’t miss this album drop.

Day 18: mood

Cocoa is always sleeping, and if she’s not sleeping… she’s yawning because she’s sleepy. This perfectly represents my mood, because I, too, am always sleepy.

Things didn’t turn out as I anticipated when it comes to exporting my old blog posts (and then importing them here). I discovered that not only do I have my archived Wordpress entries but am also able to download an archive of my Xanga posts (from around the same years).

A lot were just too personal to (re)post online, now as an “adult” (hah). I was very angsty back then. Instead, I am working through exporting the entries to a PDF. I’ll probably still post some on here and do some reflection.

But later.

I’m planning on manually importing my archived Wordpress posts on here in the coming days.

The posts will be from around 2007-2016. They’ll be manual as a lot of the images are now broken and this way, I can pick and choose which entries to import over. I’m about to go down memory lane. Eek!
