I’m a senior full stack engineer doing non-profit work in juvenile justice, a tai chi teacher, and a home/public school mom to a couple of wonderful children.
It’s been a hard and long week. My daughter’s knee injury had an unexpected prognosis and its been tough to wrap my head around it. She’ll be all right, it’s just that the path to get there is longer and the way forward is murky.
My son and I have had friction homeschooling this year. So yesterday morning we spent two hours brainstorming what to do and when he was last really happy with school. Turns out he was happiest when he read all the time. So we’re adjusting and adding in his wonderful choices ❤️📚

An fun 🐸 Lillihub update I put in yesterday. The editor now previews an image while you write. I find it helpful to see the image while writing alt descriptions 😊
I decided to turn my Hobonichi Avec into a four year journal. I also figured out that nail polish makes a good sticker substitute if you need to cover up dates 😊
My favorite thing about my side project, Lillihub , is you don’t need JavaScript.

At work I had to port our code base to .NET 8 and deal with all the issues that introduced. Took me the better part of three days. Getting this last error resolved in our Azure Pipeline… still haven’t got it. 😤. So demoralizing. I miss the days when it was a simple FTP the files over…
I’m reviewing my solo development methodology and figuring out if anything needs any tweaks. Last year I tried adapting Shape Up and I think I need to shorten the cycles. Six weeks is just a bit too long for me to maintain forward momentum.
Time for some digital clean up. Moving from Lastpass to 1Password, switching to ProtonVPN, moving files off of Dropbox and Onedrive and exploring Fastmail for the family.
I’m working on some Lillihub tweaks 👩💻. I wanted to add a marker at the end of all the new posts since that last time Lillihub was viewed, but I’m having trouble with the wording. Any suggestions? “Already seen posts” seems a bit wordy and off…
