It seems that the stomach flu is making its rounds, and I’m thankful to have avoided it so far. Kel, Alex, and Tommy all fell ill with it last weekend. On Saturday, Tommy and I went to lunch while we waited for Kel’s dad to be released from the hospital. Afterward, we stopped by Costco…

The weather app indicates it’s 39 degrees outside, but it feels more like 9 degrees due to the biting cold wind. We currently have a high wind warning in effect, and the pellet stove has been running since this morning to keep us warm. Sandy is feeling chilly, so she’s curled up in my lap….

I think I have this figured out. The debounce function. Here is the code: const debounce = (func, delay) => { let timer; // This will store the timer ID return (…args) => { clearTimeout(timer); // Clears any existing timer timer = setTimeout(() => func(…args), delay); // Sets a new timer }; }; I opted…

Once again, I’m finding myself staring at my phone, dreading the prospect of making a dentist appointment. It’s not the dental visit itself that I dread; rather, it’s the act of making the call that I find so daunting. In addition to scheduling an appointment for myself, I also need to do the same for…

I’m finally home after a busy morning out with Kel and Karissa. Karissa had an eye appointment, which went well, and she received new prescriptions. Afterwards, we headed to Costco to pick up her new glasses, which she will receive in a few weeks. We enjoyed lunch at Costco while waiting for Kel and her…

So today I’m working on anagrams in coding. I need to write a function that checks if two strings are anagrams. We will start by saying that an anagram is a literary device where the letters that make up a word, phrase, or name are rearranged to create new ones. Two strings are considered anagrams…

I’ve figured out how to write that takes two arrays and returns a new array containing only the elements that are common between them: function findCommonElements(arr1, arr2) { return arr1.filter(element => arr2.includes(element)); } The console.log works: console.log(arrayIntersection([1, 2, 3, 4], [3, 4, 5, 6])); // [3, 4] The next problem is to write a function…

I feel alright, though I’m experiencing a bit of anxiety. Today, there’s something about coding that appeals to me, even if I’m struggling with it; it feels like a safe pursuit, like I’m engaging in exactly what I’m meant to be doing. I’ve locked up the house, as my anxiety is a bit heightened. I…

I had my doctor’s appointment this morning, and it went well. My blood pressure was a bit low, so she advised me to reduce my blood pressure medication by half. We will monitor how this adjustment affects me over the next month. I check my blood pressure in the morning, and it tends to be…

Ok, I think I finally figured out the Fibonacci sequence function. It took me days and I this function seems to work when I console.log it. Here is the function: function fibonacci(n) { if (n
