// Tailwind CSS made me vomit blood

14 September 2025
Potato day! No exercise yay.

But made myself open up the code editor and work on QG a little bit. Went in circles trying to figure out Bullet Train / Tailwind CSS issues. Completely unnecessary and frakking waste of 3 hours. Ended up using my own vanilla CSS class which took all of 3 seconds.

Having second thoughts now about Bullet Train. Might go back to Speedrail, which was what I originally used for QG, and it worked well from the get-go. I only gave up after facing Tailwind issues. I now realise it is neither a Speedrail nor Bullet Train issue. It is a #&*()#*^($&@#^($ Tailwind issue!!! I am so done with it. I have no more blood left to vomit.

On to this week's review ~

Best thing that happened this week
Mental clarity on where I'm headed and how I want to live my life.

How to improve next week
Still sleeping in after alarm in the morning – that's the next thing to improve.

Btw if you like how this journal is structured - look for BestSelf Self Journal. I have been using it for 9 quarters now (that's 2+ years!) and I've never been more organised or motivated. It seems to be designed for people with ADHD as well.

On the daily, I have it by my side with the to-do page open while I work. This plus time-boxing with Llama Life helps me stay focused.

It might come off a little pricey (ikr $36 for a friggin' journal?!)... But think of it as investing $0.40/day in yourself to meet a better you at the end of 13 weeks.
