While there are many changes in Drupal 8, Drupal still relies on modules. Drupal 8 needs modules -- and you! -- to provide additional functionality not provided by core. Creating a module in Drupal 8 isn’t very different from earlier versions, although some of the names and places have changed.

I don’t have to keep wanting ways of being or socialities which I know I would not like if I had them, but which I keep feeling I should want and strive for anyway.

I've been slowly plodding away on Flag since the water main was replaced back in mid-November. It's been difficult because work has been an exercise in frustration, home life has been stressful, and a multitude of other things that conspired to drain me of my available energy and concentration. 

Making a character black because couldn't think of a good reason* not to, plus was finding excuses to resist the idea**.

While we're at it: more characters with non-binary gender identities and more characters with non-binary sexed bodies, not necessarily the same characters.

Yesterday seems less good in retrospect.

Afternoon shift at the quiet branch library with another casual co-worker, relieving the permanent staff who were required to attend a formalised Xmas party.

Inauspicious beginning with pre-shift socialising and staff getting repeatedly shushed by a patron (my supervisor and and the person I was on duty with tend to default to loud speaking voices), even to the point of calling the town council to make a complaint.

Had the place to myself for several days around the weekend. At first planned to get some pizza, just because I have been wanting some for a while. Decided to get in some cooking practice instead - not done enough of that for a long while due to various circumstances and have been missing it.

Just repeated a couple of things I'd enjoyed in the past, mostly from what was already available in the fridge. Had French Onion Soup for the first couple of days, very self-satisfied at managing to produce something so delicious.

Practicing some coding tonight, like I didn't do last week (going through an old copy of Learn Python The Hard Way). Right now it feels like an achievement that I can open the command prompt and type

cd C:\Users\<path>\Coding

and get where I want to go from memory, first go. So at least I am getting reaccustomed to something doing these exercises.
