JOURNALS

Sunday rolls around and it's all about easing into the day with a sense of relaxation. I did a bit of this, a bit of that, and before I knew it, I had melted into some semblance of unwinding. The combination of video games and coursing through a couple of online lessons managed to whisk me away into a reprieve from the usual hustle. A fine blend of productive leisure, if ever there was one, even though reading "Brave New World" also made a delightful addition to my downtime stack.

Tomorrow, with its looming studio organising demands, has found its way into my thoughts. The plan? Tunes cranked and cables in tow. I'll sift and sort like there's no tomorrow, casting aside unnecessary clutter into black bin bags. It's a subtle kind of preparation, like tidying up mental space with each tidied-up corner. But today, I let my mind drift while the world outside spins at its pace.

Reflecting on the day, I'm quite pleased with my new book introduction and the unplanned, yet deeply satisfying nap that claimed much of my afternoon. Gratitude extends, quite firmly, to naps — they're really the unsung heroes of a day off. A round of applause, too, to vampire games that let me lose myself in an alternate reality and, of course, the pure comfort of cosy pyjamas. Those seemingly simple joys refined my day into something marvellously uncomplicated.

As the weekend winds down, I'm reminded that the rest and recharge now will pave the path for a productive week ahead. For now, though, I choose to wrap myself in the delightful mundanity of today and ensure I'm rested before diving into the week ahead. Who could have known that doing next to nothing could feel like doing everything just right?
