JOURNALS

Well, today was a ride. I spent the morning moving some of the shinier bits from the old studio over to the new one. The prints have been carefully packed away, ready for transport. It’s amazing the amount of stuff you accumulate over time, even when you think you’ve been minimalistic.

Early in the afternoon, I tackled the final piece of furniture in the old studio. But just when I thought I was done, I noticed one of the car tyres was completely flat. So, I made a journey to the nearest garage to fill it up. The timing was incredibly inconvenient, as the car was due for its MOT the next day. Cue the mad dash across town trying to sort it all out.

Instead of going home straight after the garage, I had to head back to the old studio to pick up some things I’d left behind for the MOT. After a bit of a faff, I drove the car to the MOT centre and decided to drop it off a day early. Then came the fun part—a 45-minute walk back to town. By the time I got there, I was dead on my feet.

By the time I reached the new studio, I was completely drained.

Had decided to once again stick to the 50-minute work, 10-minute break schedule, but clearly, that went out the window. The breaks were sporadic and not particularly restful. I spent a lot of time walking and driving, none of which was relaxing.

Despite the chaos, I managed to film a little footage for the upcoming week notes video. It may not be the most gripping content, but it’s part of the process. I can always edit it down later or even reshoot if needed.

By the end of the day, I felt completely wiped. Between all the moving, walking, and dealing with car issues, I was shattered. A bath and early night's sleep are definitely in order, hoping tomorrow brings a bit less chaos.

Wrapped up a couple of video segments for the upcoming projects, which felt like a minor win. Every little helps, right? Even though today was packed with disruptions, I managed to keep things ticking. Happy to call it a day and hoping for a smoother run at it tomorrow.
