Entry 0079

I'm feeling pretty contented this morning. No major anxiety or sadness. I'm currently working on a project to get my HTTP content and Gemini protocol content in sync, so that I don't have to update them both separately. I'm making progress that triggers the release of dopamine. I'm writing a Python script that converts markdown files to gemtext while keeping certain things specific to HTTP and Gemini. I've been working on it for the past two hours, so I'm taking a break for now.

I'm looking forward to the upcoming holidays and Christmas season. The weather has been very much to my satisfaction lately, and I get to enjoy at least four more months of cooler temperatures. I'm looking forward to getting snow.

The weekend after Thanksgiving, I'm going to stay by my grandma's house in the city for a few days. My dad has been too much for me lately and I could use a change of scenery. It will be nice to spend time with my grandma, and in her house, of which I have fond childhood memories. I'm going to do a bit of recollecting those memories and recording them in my private memory journal. Since my grandpa (her husband, who was actually my step-grandfather, but I've known him my entire life) passed away in April 2024, she's been at the house alone. She's doing okay healthwise, but is still pretty acutely grieving. I think it would be good for her as well to have me there. I stayed there this past July, and we laughed a lot in remembering my grandpa and his quirks. I think that's important to help with grieving.
