Day 18: My life on the “outside”…

…or, WHAT LIFE? Note: whining ahead.

After yet another day of staying very late, trying to figure out code (and desperately trying to remember what I learned last week, that I’m evidentially supposed to be incorporating into the exercise du jour), I’ve come to the conclusion that I really can’t make plans after class during the week. I have a whole plethora of activities that I usually do after work that are just not going to be possible anymore—at least not until I finish training.

So far, this week, I’ve had to blow off my Tuesday night knitting group (sacrilege!) and another activity I do on Wednesday afternoons. We have some friends visiting tomorrow night, whom I’m probably going to wave “hello” to on my way into my home study to do more work (my classwork portfolio is a tad out of date). Oh, and we’re having SEVERAL people to the house this weekend—something we’d planned long before I knew I was going to be spending my summer snorkeling through CSS, HTML, JavaScript, and Bootstrap. Ask me if I’ve done ANYTHING to prepare for this…so far, my poor, long-suffering spouse is having the shoulder the burden for this.

Don’t even ask me about my exercise schedule…okay, you may ask. This was the extent of my exercising for today. At lunch, I enough time to walk outside and take a picture of this bird…that’s it.

By day I work for a large insurance company. By night and the rest of my life, I share my life with a spouse, a bossy cat, four step-children, and many, many grandchildren. Also, of course, my mad passion is my knitting and crocheting. My latest adventure is something called Coding Bootcamp!

  1. GO, PAM, GO!!!!!!

    Hey, they called it “boot camp” so it is what it is…..and fortunately boot camp does not last forever! I hope your sacrifices will be rewarded!

    I am hoping you get to start working with these new skills on a project where you get to see real-world coding. What do you think so far about doing this every day for work?

    If for nothing else, learning these new skills will put off dementia!!!!

    Knit, purl, SIP ONE!!!!!! (My reply to Whining, lol!)

    You’re AWESOME!!!! Carol

    1. I’m trying to remind myself it’s not forever! I would say, despite everything, it’s still fascinating. I just need to figure out how to get balance! I did end up doing nothing except for knitting when I came home last night, as I really needed the mental break.
