My friends were mostly away today but I was in a call with them in the early morning. I started the day by being in a call and watching scary stories on YouTube. We watched a lot of videos from Bedtime Stories. Even though I was playing the video in the background, they kept sleeping throughout most of the call, especially around 4 to 6 a.m. or so. In the background, however, I was being productive and coding in a new framework I've literally just tried. Since I didn't feel satisfied with my standalone Angular recode of my Web Stories feature, I researched on another framework. I was already using Vercel as my deployment platform and I decided to try out the React framework that they had. I've made things in React and Vue before, so trying out this new framework was easy after I got the basics and gist of it. I tried to migrate my Angular code and functions into it, and it worked pretty well. I worked on a lot of things about it, like my images, how it would display them, fixing all of the build errors, and so on. This all went as my friends were sleeping. When it was around 6 a.m., we had disconnected. I was still programming and working on my NextJS app in the background. I continued working, and working, until it was time for my actual work to begin. As a kind of reward for myself, I got myself a good breakfast and it was really, really good. I got beef shawarma with rice and this Korean bowl that had beef, kimchi, and egg. They were pretty delicious and were super worth it for the price. I haven't had Mediterranean food in a while and I've missed it, and it lived up to my expectations. My friends were gone throughout most of the day but I was still talking to them on Discord. I was mostly left alone to focus on my work throughout the entire day. I was just doing my work tasks to pass the time. By the time work ended, I was really, really sleepy because I didn't sleep at all earlier. I wanted to work on my Web Stories project a little bit more, but I couldn't so I just lied down and closed my eyes. By the time I woke up at around 11 a.m. and I saw a few messages from my friends. I felt so groggy waking up.
