 My getting up early streak went down in flames today. I didn't get out of bed until noon. To be fair, I did get up for a bit around six o'clock in the morning but then went back to sleep. And it's a little nuts because I was in bed before one o'clock, at least I think I was, so there was no real reason for me to sleep for eleven hours. I don't get it.

I was up at six o'clock because there was a strange storm outside. Instead of the lightning coming in big flashes of light, it was more of a strobe light, like staccato notes in visual form. I can't remember ever seeing that before. And to make it even stranger, the thunder wasn't the low thunder like thunder is supposed to be. It was at a distinctly higher pitch, like it had been sped up. I would say it was a dream, and it did feel a bit like one by noon, but I actually got up and pulled my current aside so I could watch out my window for awhile. Very strange.

Despite missing so much of my day, I was productive. I read two textbook chapters this afternoon and another one after dinner. I also worked on the website. I added another page (possibly the last but I might add another) and I made a bunch of tweaks. I went back and messed around with my mobile menu and finally got it working the way I wanted it to. Not the prettiest thing ever but pretty damn good considering it's my first attempt. I also added a file that will hopefully make the form on one of the pages work. If it doesn't I'll just take off the 'send' button and call it good. Tomorrow I want to upload it to the school server so I can actually take a look at the site online and on a real phone so see if it looks how it is supposed to. That will also let me run validation and accessibility tests so I can fix the inevitable issues. There is so much more code than on my personal site and I know it isn't the most efficient. I have used so many divs and classes to tweak things. My fingers are crossed there isn't anything completely broken.

I ended p working on the site for a much longer time than I anticipated tonight. I was going to stop after the one page but then I got into messing with the little things and it turned into “just one more thing” and before I knew it, three o'clock in the morning. Ridiculous.

Tomorrow I would like to get up at a reasonable time, well before lunch. I have to much stuff to work on to be sleeping until lunch. I also moved Chipotle night to tomorrow because my mom wasn't feeling well so that will cut into things as well. I know that if I don't get anything done in the morning I probably won't have much motivation to do it after lunch and before I have to go to Chipotle. I need to get the ball rolling before noon. That is the goal.
