This is cool, there's also "sshtalk" from 2ton Digital (though their webpage appears to be offline).

Started a new project that I’ve been putting off for way too long. I’ve always been scared to start any of the 100-day challenges because I know my life and that I would never be able to do a thing 100 days in a row without missing a day. Especially now that I have two puppies. So I’m pretty proud of myself for deciding to start a 100 day challenge in a way that works for me. Where I don’t fail if I miss a day and where I can be okay with that. Aiming for getting to 100 days with Monday-Friday because i need to learn to take breaks and spend time with family / puppies.

Well... I was going to go with my first blog post here:
dev.to/stacy_cash/insiderdev-tour-...
(something I am super proud of - and already have some more in the pipeline that are almost finished!)

But... After I published it my mental health took a serious turn for the worse and my actual win this week was getting myself off of the sofa not watching Netflix that was playing in the background and out of the house for a walk, and back on to the computer to solve some problems. Little steps, but so hard to acheive that they felt like absolute victories.

Went to a training session for work that had an pre assessment taken before I attended. I was the only one that had a "truthseeker" habit. Apparently it's a rare result. I don't take any weight on the tests, but having the coach mention it in front of a bunch of co workers was pretty cool.

Not sure if it's really a win but I finally quit my job after months of being unsatisfied with it, but that means I'm now funemployed and I'm not sure how I feel about that yet :)
