A friend of mine posted this cartoon in my office’s breakroom. Seems rather apropos, no?

Anyway, I hope you have a lovely weekend!

Drink Water Project
Today’s “50 Projects In 50 Days” project: Drink Water. Always good advice, but that’s not what this is. This one lets the user click on the number of glasses of water one has consumed, and gives you back an animated graphic. You can check it out here.
After each project, I feel more confident with my coding. However, my questions grow. For instance, I wonder, though, how much more of vanilla web dev (html, css, javascript) I want to explore. Do I want to focus exclusively on web development? Or do I want to add the almighty Python to my list of languages? I’m unsure.
Additionally, I still see my super-power as a project manager/coordinator. As much as I’m enjoying coding, will that ever be the place I make the biggest impact? I’m unsure. Funny, in a way, that after all this web development work, recruiters till reach out to me regarding my executive assistant skill set. For a dying industry (exec support), I’m getting a LOT of interest in this skillset. Such is life, I guess. Keep growing, keep learning, see what comes.
Sunflowers in Autumn
echos of summer
these glorious sunflowers
facing down autumn
An Autumn Walk
a crisp autumn walk
under the joyful blue sky
leaves slowly falling
The Reddening Leaves
the reddening leaves autumn's transformation starts amidst the rainfall
Autumnal Leaves
glorious red leaves
autumn breezes gently brush
this life giving rain
A Rainy Day Haiku
rain upon my face joyous autumnal breezes all the earth refreshed
Today’s Haiku: A Heavy Rain
ferocious rain falls
battering leaves and flowers
days fade into night
Haiku: September 4, 2021
as the summer fades
at the air somewhat cooler
boldest of flowers
Today’s Haiku: Bursts of Color
footsteps on the path bursts of color reach my eye underneath the leaves
Saw these on my walk yesterday. They were striking, standing out solidly in the mass of green.
I finished up Summer quarter on my journey to finish my ATA in Web Development. I will write some about that soon. Six quarters complete and three quarters left. Now, what to do afterwards? So much opportunity, so many choices, thus, so many things to say “no” to. That’s my pain.
