On weekends, I often find it easy to skip breakfast and wait until lunchtime to eat. In contrast, I struggle to make it to lunchtime during the weekdays. I believe this is mainly because I wake up three hours later on weekends than I do on weekdays. Tommy and I have developed a weekend routine where we start our day with coffee and a workout. After exercising, we have a protein shake before preparing for the day, which takes up a few hours and makes it simple to begin eating around lunchtime. However, during the weekdays, I wake up at 5:15 AM, and by the time 10 AM arrives, I’m usually very hungry and find it challenging to hold off until noon. I try to wait for lunch to avoid snacking before dinner. Though there aren’t many snacks in the house, for me, a few pieces of bread with jelly qualifies as a snack.
This morning, I cleaned out the pellet stove, and it’s currently unplugged. I find myself contemplating whether I should plug it back in since the house feels quite cold. The office is comfortable because I have the space heater on, but the rest of the house is chilly. Karissa’s room is the exception, as she also has her space heater running. Today’s temperature isn’t expected to rise above 47 degrees, which certainly feels cold. The house isn’t freezing, but there is definitely a noticeable chill in the air. I suppose I’ll assess how the house feels later this afternoon. It’s forecasted to snow on Saturday, so we may need to turn the pellet stove back on.
I’m currently facing challenges with coding. I’m struggling to develop the code for a specific function. Once again, I need to create a deep copy of a nested object without employing JSON.stringify(). Here’s what I’ve managed to put together so far:
function deepClone(obj) {
if (obj === null || typeof obj !== 'object') {
return obj; // Return the value if it's not an object
}
if (Array.isArray(obj)) {
return obj.map(item => deepClone(item)); // Recursively clone arrays
}
}
We did the first if statement yesterday. For the second if statement:
obj.map(…)
- The .map() method iterates over each element of the array.
- It applies a function to each element and returns a new array with transformed values.
item => deepClone(item)
- This is an arrow function that takes each item in the array.
- It calls deepClone(item) to recursively clone each element.
Returning the New Array
- The .map() method returns a new array, ensuring no reference to the original array remains.
I just had my therapy session. I didn’t even realize I had an appointment until I received the email yesterday. Overall, it was a productive session. I discussed my recent feelings of anxiety, which led to a deeper conversation about my past experiences in California and the sense of safety I often lacked. Suddenly, I feel a wave of fear—like discussing my past might somehow bring it back to haunt me. I constantly worry that my ex is trying to track me down. There have been a few instances on Facebook where I received messages from one of his new friends—at least, I assume they are his new friends. I decided to block the person without responding. I used to feel so isolated and controlled; he succeeded in cutting me off from my friends and family. He even followed me into the bathroom. That part confused me, as I never brought my phone with me to ensure that I wasn’t talking on my phone. I’m still surprised he never came to my workplace since that was the only time we were apart. I’m not entirely certain why I felt compelled to talk about this now.
I finally signed up for Threads, the Twitter-like platform that is essentially Instagram, but with a different name. As with all my social media, I’ve made my account private. I struggle with making things public because I worry about being found or harassed. I want my friends to connect with me, but I’m also hesitant to let others in. So far, Threads looks like a more appealing version of Twitter. I’m only following my friends and the planner community, which might be why it feels nicer. However, I’ve only browsed it a few times since downloading the app last night. I plan to explore some tech and beauty accounts later on.
I’m going to post this now. I do feel a bit better, even if it might not seem that way. At times, I do experience paranoia and anxiety. Today, I’m ok.
