I made a thing! See here!
It's not very complicated and very late 90s web design, but I figured out how to make it myself. And now I'm working on a personal portfolio page here, though at the time I'm writing this, it's barely done. It took me a long time to implement the responsive menu at the top due to some leftover CSS from the first pre-Bootstrap version I made. It worked, but not on mobile, so I switched to Bootstrap and then spent hours trying to figure out why the links weren't justifying to the right. Turns out setting the contents of the navbar to inline-block means they're all grouped together. Oops.
I got my annual raise and bonus information yesterday and it’s higher than even my more optimistic projections. That’s good, considering. I’ll need the money. It’s not doing much to help my worried about spending, but every bit helps.
Tomorrow is the last part of the long-running Horror on the Orient Express game, and then Sunday my parents are coming to pick me up to go to the Orchid Show at the Chicago Botanic Garden, like we've gone for the past few years. Later that night, I'm having![[twitter.com profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/e0caa790ec10/-/twitter.com/favicon.ico)
lisekatevans and her roommate over for dinner to thank them for hosting me so often over the last month. This is the kind of weekend that previously would have made me dread the social engagement and the time in my schedule it took 
, but...I'm looking forward to it. I'm amazed. I haven't looked forward to social events in a long time, even though I did enjoy them when I was there. I used to be much more social, and I'm not sure what changed other than getting older. Maybe that means I can work a change in myself and maintain this.
I do feel bad that I can't make the memorial for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nytesenvy's father, though. The timing just doesn't work. 
If the Orchid Show tickets were slightly later, I could stop in at the beginning...but I can't. And even though my attendance isn't expected, I feel guilty about that.
Alright. Off to a movie.
