Life

Met the builders. The next day they sent someone round to cut some holes in our wall which definitely feels like progress. Apparently it looks (even-more-but-nobody-is-ready-to-say-for-sure) like it isn’t structural so that’s one less thing to worry about (having to haemorrhage money on).

Took Αα to the doc and she’s been given more antibiotics and an inhaler. Whatever it is, it hasn’t dampened her spirits (cf. she’s still fucking mental). And she still sure does hate sleeping at night time.

I think I’ve got a slow-burn sprain on my ankle possibly from last Saturday’s cross country. Probably the universe inflicting some karmic balance because I dared to indulge the hubristic notion that my hip maybe wasn’t as bad as it has been. I got about 50 metres up the road on Saturday morning and concluded running through the pain wasn’t in my best interests. I’m more than slightly concerned that it’s the early signs of a stress fracture and I’m really hoping that it is just a precursor to that instead. Going to have at least a week off running before I do anything else. I definitely feel a bit depressed about it because I’m worried about what it means for my training. I hate how much I drag down Σσ with my first world blues too.

This site

I got Claude to help me add a bookshelf. In my head it was going to be all fancy library APIs but in the end it’s a JSON file (which is obviously much better).

I also remembered that iA writer recently introduced a new style for indicating where content has been authored by an AI which meant I got to write some new css.

Work

I’ve started to integrate the new design system space/typography/breakpoint values into our site. I’m not really sure how it’s going yet – I’m only certain that it’s going to get a lot messier before it can start to get better.
