How long will the process of learning about responsive websites take? We are currently exploring the concepts of responsive web design and viewports to create a responsive website. By “responsive,” I mean that the styling should look appealing across the various viewports and orientations that we aim to support. This typically involves ensuring that the design is functional and visually pleasing on everything from ultrawide monitors to the smallest commonly used smartphones. However, it’s not merely about resizing the page; it requires utilizing the viewport and CSS to achieve a seamless layout that adapts for optimal viewing. At present, we are focusing on responsive images. By assigning a flexible width to an image and setting the height to auto, it will maintain its aspect ratio correctly. Additionally, there are other options if you prefer that your image doesn’t simply shrink. The CSS properties background-size and object-fit can offer additional flexibility in managing aspect ratios.
Oh no! I just realized I have therapy in half an hour. I completely forgot about that. I need to get my laptop ready by connecting my headphones and checking into my session before it starts. Interestingly, I’m feeling a bit better today in terms of anxiety.
Therapy went well today. I discussed how I sometimes experience hypervigilance. As I mentioned yesterday, I still feel as though I’m being controlled and manipulated after all these years. I told my therapist that I feel safer when my hearing aids are on because it allows me to hear my surroundings while engaging in other activities, like playing video games. My therapist pointed out that it’s all about safety; while I may feel safe physically, I might still feel mentally unsafe. I do believe I feel safe mentally, but my hypervigilance tends to trigger anxiety. I’m guessing that I can practice having my headphones on while playing a video game and after some time I will feel better about doing that.
Meanwhile, my cat keeps walking in front of me as I type, which is making it difficult to concentrate. Sandy seems to want attention but isn’t very happy when I give it to her. I keep setting her down, but she is quite persistent about staying on my desk.
I took my anxiety medication, as I tend to feel anxious around this time of day. I also enjoyed a cup of hot tea, which was quite comforting. During this hour, I often find myself thinking about engaging in various activities, like cleaning, rather than coding, which I do until 5 PM. There’s always a nagging feeling that I’m missing something or that I need to take immediate action, or else something bad may happen. I understand that this is a symptom of anxiety. Nevertheless, I feel that my desk could use a good dusting. Perhaps not today, but soon, I need to give everything on my desk a thorough cleaning.
