Today is a special day. In the morning, when the alarm went off, Xiaoyan opened her eyes. I nudged her and asked, “Are you taking Hamer to school today?” Last night before bed, she had mentioned wanting to try something different, but she hadn’t agreed to my suggestion at the time. This time, however, she got up. She woke Hamer, helped her freshen up, packed her schoolbag, and then took her to school. By 7:39, they were already at the school gate, much earlier than usual. When Xiaoyan returned home, she even made coffee for us, making the start of the day particularly warm.
Most of the daytime was spent debugging, mainly focusing on adjustments to the G feature while also quickly completing testing tasks for the mobile app. Since I didn’t use the Pomodoro timer, the work rhythm felt a bit chaotic, and it seemed like time wasn’t utilized efficiently—something I’ll need to improve on going forward.
In the evening, Hamer came home and proactively finished her homework. During a conversation, Hamer told Xiaoyan that she had been moved to the last row in class. Xiaoyan asked how she felt about it, and Hamer replied, “Not much.” Hearing this, I felt a bit anxious and initially blamed the teacher: why was she moved to the last row again? It seemed like such decisions lacked any clear rules. But on second thought, Hamer herself didn’t seem to connect this to other issues like she did last time, nor did she show any particular emotions. This helped ease my concerns a bit. I decided to observe her state first and refrain from intervening, allowing her to adapt and view the situation from her own perspective. I wondered: if we appeared overly concerned, would it make Hamer think sitting in the last row was a “bad” thing? She might even feel that sharing such small matters is burdensome, and might stop sharing them with us in the future.
Outside of today’s main plans, I spent a considerable amount of time on my blog. In the morning, I checked my email and found that the domain migration was complete. I used some time before work to configure the domain. Initially, I was a bit confused when setting up the domain records, especially with the fields “Hostname” and “Value” in the interface—they didn’t make much sense to me. However, after consulting some resources, I finally resolved the issue.
Before bed, I continued optimizing the blog, changing the theme to Alpine, which aligns better with my aesthetic preferences, and adding a few new pages. The overall framework of the blog is beginning to take shape and looks decent at first glance. Next, I plan to further optimize the pages by adding sections like TIL (Today I Learned), Journal, and Parenting, while also refining the About page. Lastly, and most importantly, I need to focus on creating more content.
