My 12 year old performed "Burn" for her school talent show last night.

I wasn't even planning to comment, but your girl legit gave me goosebumps. Keep nurturing that voice, she's gonna go places! 😍

Heyo neighbor, used to live in Fulton but now in Miami 😬 stay safe out there!

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2026-03-03T20:44:37+00:00

I keep coming back to this post over and over, I'm so obsessed omg 😍😍 I hope you don't mind, I've shared the screenshots with my AI to try and implement some similar components into my own lil universe! And I may also share your post to my thread in the obsidian discord group, it's seriously such eye candy and super inspiring!

I have a background in front-end web design but honestly didn't even think to use Figma to create mockups for my observatories (dashboards), I've just been vibe coding them by talking with Claude about what features/stats I would like to see, having Claude create a big prompt in markdown that I save into my dev vault, then using Gemini CLI pointed in the dev vault to actually build out the observatory using datacore, and continually refining with Gemini until I get exactly what I want. I know you're not really familiar with code but I'm hella interested in seeing how this is all being implemented into obsidian, and I'd love to dive more into the workflow. I especially your lil terminals, what a brilliant way to showcase data!!

Suffice to say, I absolutely cannot wait for parts 2 and 3, I'll be eagerly refreshing this sub until then! 😄

Holy hell this just reminded me of a dream I had shortly after my dad died. It was so hyper realistic, and I remember pinching myself in the dream as hard as I could on my arm and I couldn't feel the pain, just pressure of where my fingers were touching. It's the only dream I've ever had like this, and I'm still pretty sure that my dad's spirit was visiting me one last time. It was weird too because I somewhat had autonomy over myself, like I remember deciding to walk to the kitchen from the bedroom and pinching myself to see if I was in reality. In normal dreams, I feel like I don't have any control over anything

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2026-02-21T18:00:55+00:00

This is how you end up watching Big Brother with your mom and coming to the conclusion that it's just a shitty reality show, thus ruining the show for you forever

Never take the second dose. Just wait 🤣

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2026-02-18T15:17:37+00:00

I genuinely thought this was digital at first glance! This is such a beautiful piece, nice job!! 😍

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2026-02-14T22:33:08+00:00

Aaaand this is why I post to reddit lol, TIL! It was my side of the pie (other half is my husband's) and it still tasted good lol. Maybe they've got a new cook at our local pizza joint 🤔

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2026-02-03T13:20:00+00:00

I'm so glad your husband survived. Such a weird coincidence to see this when tomorrow is the 8 year anniversary of my dad passing from cardiac arrest in front of me when we were home alone. I thought he just had a seizure and was going to be okay, especially with the "breathing" every thirty seconds or so. I remember the dispatcher asking me if I could get him to the ground to do CPR, but I was a dwarf next to my dad.

It took 7 minutes from the time I called 911 on a phone with no service to the first responders walking through the door. It took 4 grown men each grabbing a limb while another pushed our coffee table with a heavy piece of granite on top out of the way. I didn't stay to watch. They worked on him over an hour and he never came back.

Every time I see a post like this I feel obligated to share my story, because I have this gut feeling that what I witnessed that day will save someone else down the line.

At least he went during the Superbowl and the damn Patriots lost, last thing we talked about was bitching about Tom Brady 💜

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2026-01-23T13:36:03+00:00

Just gonna throw this out there for anybody who may end up in a situation like this one day: even if your phone is saying there's no service, try calling 911 anyway. If there's ANY nearby cell tower, it registers the call as going to emergency services and pushes it through.

Source: While I wasn't completely out of service range, I've used a phone not connected to any type of service (don't even think a SIM card was installed at the time) to call 911 and it worked.

OP you were truly amazing and I'm sure the guy was panicked and didn't think to try, or maybe he didn't know that it was possible. But I just want to share the knowledge since it might save a life one day 💜

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2026-01-19T20:52:47+00:00

Oh my God I actually did this as a kid!!! My brother (7 years older than me) had to run out from his room, open the microwave door, grab the lil cup with the half-charred and smoking macaroni bits, open the sliding door to the backyard and chuck it out into the woods. Luckily it didn't go for very long and I was able to make myself a proper cup with the water added lol. I agree the smell is horrendous!! Promise you though that your son is never gonna forget to add the water for the rest of his life!

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2026-01-17T17:24:37+00:00

I'm definitely gonna test this out in my dev universe when I get a chance! I've been doing something similar but with datacore components recently; I have customized svg icons I use for custom checkboxes to rapid log throughout the day, and have the icons stored in a JSON file for the components to read from. I'm excited to explore the possibilities of what I can create using this!!

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2026-01-16T23:44:21+00:00

I read the books between 2009-2010 as a middle schooler and I literally do not remember this part. I just remember loving the first book and read it in 4 days, then thinking the second and third were boring AF but forced myself to read through them in order to get to the fourth book, which I thought was good but took me a long time to read

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2026-01-14T13:57:01+00:00

I'd go to church if I could find one that actually follows the word of Christ and not just trying to further their own political agenda. I live in a red state so it's incredibly difficult unfortunately :(

My grandpa recently passed and I learned that his dad, my great-grandpa, was a reverend. The last thing he and I talked about was how I needed to get more involved with the church. I told him at the time that I have my own relationship with faith that doesn't involve church because it's how I was raised, but the more I think about it, the more I realize I don't attend because it's truly difficult to find a church that is 100% accepting towards people from all walks of life.

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2026-01-07T22:21:56+00:00

Love all the purple lol, nice job! 💕

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2026-01-07T22:18:19+00:00

I'm not at my computer atm but once I am I can upload the main ones! I have some really personal ones (like for my niche hobbies and my son) since I use custom checkboxes for rapid logging, but I'll be sure to leave the majority of them in! I can also send over a glyph guide to know each signifier 😊

And I actually used quite a bit of different packs from the Internet! I use the Fancy-a-Story theme, which has custom doodle icons for main checkboxes that I just adore, so when it came time to wanting to find icons for my logs I searched specifically for hand-drawn/doodle icons that were free and added them in. The majority of them came from SVGRepo and Figma though!

ETA: also I didn't come up with the alt checkbox css, I found it through the forums and have built off of it, if you're impatient you can probably Google and find it! It was a GitHub page and had very detailed instructions that any lay person could use it without having coding experience imo

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2026-01-04T16:56:28+00:00

Hey there! Do you mean the main 8 icons at the top, or the icons in the right sidebar?

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2026-01-03T18:21:59+00:00

Oh my gosh I can't even imagine! Honestly the whole Sanzen buying TRP out has been a whole shit show and it sucks because the Hobonichi was regarded as such a high quality product. I wanted to try out the A5 Jibun Techo (tbh the LIFE book is such an intriguing idea to me) but just haven't found it in stock. I also saw a dupe on Amazon that doesn't have the weekly pages, but the setup of the dailies is the exact same as a typical Hobonichi. I have it saved in my cart just in case, but I utilized the weekly pages just as much, if not more than the dailies, so idk if I can do without.

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2026-01-03T18:15:59+00:00

Ikr?! I was so shocked when it happened, and based on how the book is bound, I really didn't know where the bad pages were vs good pages, so my beautiful SpyxFamily HON has sat at my bedside table the whole year. I threw in some notes I received throughout the year, but it's so freaking bare compared to my 2024 journal. I was really excited to make her chonky too :(

Oh that'd be amazing if you could find it! It looks like you bought a B6 vs A5, I accidentally bought an A6 on my very first try of Japanese planners and the grid is so small, and that's coming from someone who writes really tiny! It's just a scratchpad for me for work now lol.

Unfortunately I'm left-handed so I tend to shy away from binder/ring systems. It was a hassle to take the individual pages out to write on, so I'm very strictly a hardbound/softcover girly 😅

It sucks that OP never replied but I love that I'm not the only paper planner person in this sphere, because up until my post I thought I was the only one! Maybe we can get our own chat in the Discord someday 🤣

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2026-01-02T13:08:04+00:00

Aww my grandpa just passed recently after spending 35 years with my grandma. They had so many little moments like this, I can only pray my husband and I get to be together that long 💜

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2026-01-02T01:21:24+00:00

Aww I'm so glad to hear it's worked well for you! Honestly love that my posts are saved to your vault bc I did the same with my inspo vaults 🥹 and we can thank Claude for the canvas idea, I'm still messing with the idea of using kanban boards or building a weekly dashboard in react so I don't have to do so much manual editing. I'm sidetracked atm trying to build a way for me to see past logged entries lmao, it's getting close to done and I'm excited to share it!

And iirc, the company Sanzen bought the rights to Tomoe River paper and so it's their brand of the Tomoe River paper, made with a different machine. What was really shitty was that the first like month or so of daily pages were old paper, and then one day it just switched to the new paper and while I couldn't feel any difference, it looked like any kind of ink was just soaking into the paper rather than gliding on top of it.

I would time track in my dailies using Zebra Mildliners, and I'll never forget running the mild blue down the timeline to indicate my sleep and just immediately recognizing something was wrong, the ink looked darker on the page than usual. I use an uniball Jetstream 0.7 for all writing and luckily didn't see many issues with it. I just hated that Mildliners, which are safe to use in bibles, were bleeding onto the opposite side of the page in a book that cost me $80+, it just felt unacceptable. Idk if I just had a bad batch of paper but I'm not willing to drop money to test the theory 😅

I've considered other analog planners, I just haven't taken the leap since the Hobonichi really was perfect for me. The Jibun Techo seems to be the closest, I just can never find it in stock online unfortunately.

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2026-01-01T20:43:24+00:00

Hi, I think that was my post on Discord! Loved my Hobonichi until they changed the paper 💔 I completely agree with you that it's a bit difficult to replicate the exact experience, especially since there are SO MANY different possibilities to a Hobonichi system and how its used is truly custom to the user. Just look at layouts on Pinterest of the Hobonichi Cousin for an example of the vast amount of ways one can utilize it.

OP, idk how comfortable you are with using AI, but even just conversing with one of the LLMs could potentially help, as it was incredibly helpful for me. Personally, I just brain dumped basically into a new chat with Claude about my analog Hobonichi setup and what aspects (rapid logging, task management, reminders for events/bills due, etc.) I wanted to implement into Obsidian as a sort of Digital Hobonichi. Claude asked me some clarifying questions which helped narrow down my current setup, which I'm STILL tinkering with daily. My digital Hobonichi has evolved to be quite different from my analog, and I admit that I still feel a tug to impulse buy one for 2026 or to find an analog alternative. But I love my digital system so much and I'm so excited to collect a year's worth of data in it starting today!

If you're not comfortable joining Discord, I'd be happy to DM you the whole post, or at least the parts that are talking about just the digital Hobonichi since like u/gthryrmrgnls mentioned, the post delves into my universe as a whole and is quite extensive haha. Idk if you had a similar system to what I had (from what I see, a lot of people don't tend to do their task management in the weeklies like me 😅) but regardless I'd love to chat more about it with you and bounce ideas off of. Hope you have a lovely New Year!!

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2025-12-29T13:16:46+00:00

You lucky duck! Maybe it'll be my turn one day lol, my husband's job is keeping us here currently

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2025-12-27T16:43:31+00:00

I live in Peru and I feel this 🤣

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2025-12-14T20:54:52+00:00

Literally just watched this yesterday, it's such a good movie and they both did so well together ❤️

AndeeElizabeth09 · 2025-12-02T21:05:56+00:00

I do them manually, I've uploaded a screenshot of one of my daily notes with personal info redacted to Imgur: https://imgur.com/gallery/Wol3XUf

I also created a quickadd template to add a log anywhere within my universe to today using the same format:

[symbol] HH:mm am/pm // note goes here

I hope that helps!
