I am hell bent on getting the new theme done. I know that’s probably an unrealistic aim, but one worth pursuing.

I also want to fill every category with at least one post on my rebuild of this website (Brian Schnabel’s Head Space: Where Magic and Mind Digitally Interlace).

This I know I can do. I have the material at my fingertips to get this job done.

But I also need to get out of dodge for a while. So, I’m thinking that around 11:00 AM I’ll knock off and head out to Dominick’s for an early lunch. However, I probably won’t actually get there until noontime the way these things work out.

Can I get it all done? So long as I don’t fall asleep for another four hours this afternoon, I do believe it’s all possible.

I’m on my second pot of coffee since I woke up at 3:00 AM this morning. It’s probably not advisable to be drinking this much coffee. But I’m getting tired of being screwed over by a crap sleep cycle, which has been the bane of me since the end of August. The only good thing about it has been the fact that light sleep generates more visions.

However, despite sucky sleep cycles, Things are moving along nicely thus far today. Maybe, too, when I get a chance, for the hell of it, I’ll see if I can’t fix the Twenty Sixteen theme in WordPress via the functions file, so the damn theme actually validates to W3C specifications. And, no, “I won’t be wasting my time with creating a child theme to do this.” But that’s not a priority in the slightest since I plan on replacing the Twenty Sixteen theme with my own as soon as I’m able to do so. The only reason I would modify any WordPress theme is simply for the satisfaction of knowing I can, and of course, having something I actually approve of to fall back on, should I feel the need to revert back to using a WordPress theme to keep the site up and running in the event of issues with future updates.

I’ve already changed it to exclusively use the Classic Editor, as it functions in a manner that is more in line with my vision for the new “My Design” theme. But that’s enough of changing other people’s handy work to suit my own purposes for now.
