It's a work in progress, but I'm making great strides! I'm already learning a ton about building CLI applications, which was exactly what I wanted to tackle next. I'm really excited about the progress I'm making.

Simple - I finally managed to get around to posting my Google Forms UX Questionnaire for a project I am developing and very passionate about. The nerves are setting in though as actually getting the responses is the difficult part. But, I pray and I work and great projects will survive.

This week’s win? Definitely enjoying some quality time with my pets! It’s always a win when you can relax and share those moments with them. Plus, I recently came across Online Pet Pharmacy, and it’s been great finding some new pet care products that my pets absolutely love.
