I'm gonna name a last week win cause I was away and didn't actually put up this post in my absence!

I went to Cancun, Mexico for my sister-in-law's wedding and it was an absolute blast! 🙌

If anyone here is planning a visit, I highly recommend taking a tour of the cenotes (the Mayan word for sinkhole)... this was the highlight of the trip for me.

-Last week I spoke virtually at the Belize National Heritage Library for the AWS Belize User Group's Women History Month event.
-This week I renewed my AZ-104 Azure Administrator certification on March 31, 2023. That was a great way to end the first quarter 2023 and start the second quarter 2023.

Love your question! I went to run a marathon to Hobbitton, it was my first marathon and I could complete it in 1hr 40mins and I knew the good energy there.

Another win was I went to the gym every day, I started the gym that year and was like a challenge and this week was really needed for me go to the gym.

Finally, I achieve 37 followers on Dev.to community! I'm really proud of me.

Thank you for the question! ❤️

This past week was slow, but I've determined some goals for this upcoming week.

I have to work more on writing and understanding Dockerfiles, this week my PowerShell scripts wouldn't execute correctly in a Docker container due to not properly installing dependencies to final image.
I've made lots of progress with Vue 3, allowing me to quickly solve issues that would've taken me longer.

And for the weekend, I've mostly been relaxing and starting to involve myself on the platform more.
