      Good morning! Tomorrow is the big day, and of course I’m a little anxious. 😅
      I need to figure out expectations and new routines. How to keep from doing too many chores during the work day, but how to stay moving. Tips appreciated! 💕

      Haha what's "fun" for me is I never bring up the fact that I left HP in my childhood, where I thought it belonged, cuz I just know I'm already teetering on the edge of social acceptance with my tech noise 😆🫣🤷🏻‍♀️ some things are too deep in the "use it but don't try to virtue signal thru it" category

      I still enjoy writing some creative code by hand (or touching up AI content), but damn it feels good to have AI deal with all the admin:
      
      - creating worktrees
      - stacked diffs 
      - code reviewer
      - ticket created & populated 
      - resources linked to ticket
      - pr reviewers / ticket subs
      - status updates

      This week has felt unusually stressful. I hope that most of it is related to my upcoming move and that life returns to more of a balance in a week and a half. I’m exhausted.

      Multiple members of congress have recently made public statements of hatred about Muslims and they have faced no consequences whatsoever. Islamophobia in American politics is shockingly normalized. It's gross.
