New Habits

I think it is time to get into the habit of writing into this journal instead of the other one. Two reasons. One, I leave behind all of the dark thoughts and toxicity. Two, new year, new me? I know jrnl has archives and such, but I really don't want to re-read those anytime soon. Into deep storage they will go.

A few days ago, I did a bit of a rework on LiveJrnl and made it so that templates can be passed as parameters, and output directories, and all of that. I just need to figure out how to package it as a standalone. Or maybe not. I like writing build scripts.

As for work, I have exactly 5 shifts left, and then I have to hustle to find a new job in the new city. Right now, we don't have a set move date, but as soon as the living room furniture gets there, we will be setting up the air mattress until the bed arrives. YAY!!!

I think I've fixed the journal's CSS and it should now properly resize for mobile. Fingers and toes crossed <3

rewrote the Livejrnl script to use Jinja for templating. this was much easier to work with and a lot of the heavy lifting has been moved to the template :D
