I have to write a paper for poli sci on "The Imperial Presidency and American Foreign Policy."
It's due Tuesday.
My challenge?
Keeping it to a reasonable length.
Because oh boy is there a lot to say on that topic...

Day 5 since I built myself a habit dashboard, based on a simpler habit tracker I'd built before.
Lack of gardening the last two days is excused because it's cold and rainy.
Lack of meditation and exercise... that I need to work on... which is why they're in the habit tracker in the first place.
And go me on the ot...

Do I *need* to learn it?
Probably not. I can just find code that's already been written that does the job or ask AI to write it for me.
BUT that wouldn't rewire my brain and bulk up my grey matter, which is one of the reasons I...

Went for a walk, came home, and decided that my next personal coding project is going to be a terminal-based fitness tracker in python.
Just something to log steps, bike riding distance, and other move minutes I might get in during the day. With really quick input on the command line. Like "fit 1500 steps" logs 1500 s...
