When contemplating contributions to open source software, always perform a comprehensive search of open issues and pull requests. The feature I had planned to implement has been an open issue since May of 2023, with PRs that solve it written in April (partial) and July of this year (full).

Had an exceptionally smooth Halifax Transit experience today with kiddo. Walked > 5 > Ferry > 90 > short walk to the commons pool & splash pad. Lunch from Dilly Dally, snacks from the ice cream cart (which was maybe also a bike?). Perfect.

In the midst of a heatwave, it's starting early this year. A is switching daycares at the end of this month. It'll mean less time in transit for everyone, and fewer travel costs. Alternately, it's a reminder that she'll be starting school before we know it.

As I'm sure it is for many people, September is rich with wistfulness for me. It is a time of transition, imbued with nostalgia, and spent grasping at the last strands of summer. The dial is at eleven this year. A starts daycare... tomorrow. A full, but aching heart.
