JOURNALS

Today was a lazy Saturday, a day that did not exactly go as planned, but turned out to be unexpectedly relaxing.

I intended to explore some new SVG code and maybe dismantle a desk and a bed upstairs. But after starting on the SVG code, I realised it strained my eyes more than I anticipated. Rather than push through and regret it later, I decided to give in to the tiredness and nap instead.

Dismantling the desk and bed was next on the agenda, but that didn't happen either. Instead, the day slowly transformed into a series of naps and some light cooking in the kitchen. While I originally had all these productive plans, it became clear that maybe what I needed was a day off, and nothing screams relaxation more than lots of naps and some comfort food.

In the evening, Nixie and I went to see the new Deadpool movie. It was a great way to unwind, and I thoroughly enjoyed the humour and the action-packed scenes. Spending time out and away from the projects and tasks was refreshing.

Reflecting on the day's unplanned relaxation made me think about how important it is to unwind and not fill the entire day with tasks. I often try to stay busy, but perhaps learning to relax more will benefit me a lot in the long run. Taking a break from productivity isn't such a bad thing after all.

Although today didn't involve any major achievements or crossed-off to-do lists, it was filled with rest and quality time with Nixie. Now looking back, I feel much better for it. The SVG exploration and dismantling tasks can wait for another day when I'm more energised.

Overall, the day reminded me of the simple joys of taking it easy and enjoying the moment. Tomorrow I'll ease back into some lighter tasks as I'm feeling ready to tackle the new week soon enough.
