I'm back in the studio today recording content for my upcoming course on Docker Compose for Dometrain! I'll wrap this up in a few weeks, then it's on to publication 👑

My sweet baby black cat, Mim, has been sick for a week. We took her to the vet last Fri & they couldn't find anything. Now we're at the vet hospital, and she has a fever of 105! Please pray for my baby 🙏

I can't wait ❤️👑

My husband isn't available to edit my Docker Compose course for Dometrain, so I'm doing it. This is my project today. It will probably be an 8 min video when it's edited, but there's 20 min of footage. It might take me 4h to edit. Making online courses is hard and takes a lot of work! 👑😒

I'm in my studio today filming for my upcoming Dometrain course on Docker Compose! It should be out in late April-early May! 👑🚄

I started watching The Americas on Peacock. It's a good documentary if you like animals 😻👑

In the past week, I've faced 2 coding challenges, and it took me a while, but I figured out both. Documentation, stack overflow, and chat gpt got me where I needed to go. It makes me think of the old days before AI and stack overflow when we had to read books to get the answers! What a time.

Hey, credit card companies, please stop sending me payment reminders if I've already scheduled a payment. I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally paid twice.

Things that happened when I was depressed: * Became Docker Captain * Finished a course for LinkedIn * Signed on for 2 more LinkedIn courses * Signed on to do a course for Dometrain You can never tell what someone is going through. Depression hits whenever it wants to. It doesn't need a reason.

My LinkedIn course on Docker Networking is in post production! It will be available soon ❤️👑

I ran into a weird issue today where my Docker containers weren't comminicating & I couldn't figure out why. I ended up retyping my compose file from scratch and got it working. I have no idea what the problem was or how I fixed it 😵‍💫

I finally left Twitter. I should've left a long time ago, but I had 13k followers, and I didn't want to lose touch with friends. But I just can't take it anymore. No one elected Elon, and he now has access to classified information and treasury payment system. This is worse than I ever expected 😔

Now that I'm a Docker Captain, I got myself a custom Captain's hat! I love it ❤️👑

This is a safe space. I believe in human rights and I teach DEI. My family includes LGBTQ and people with disabilities. I stutter which is a disability. I want to fill my community with like minded people. If you believe in human rights, let's connect and be friends 🏳️‍🌈🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜♿️

I was starting to record my next LinkedIn course on Docker networking, and it started raining 😭 The joys of being a content creator in FL!

I had a supremely horrible day. 2025 is not off to a good start. Please send pet pics 😿

My neighbors have been setting off fireworks all day, and I'm spying on them from my window like Boo Radley 🙄
