JOURNALS
Monday arrived with its usual blend of anticipation and productivity. I cracked on with the documentation for the digital day book, rolling up my sleeves for what felt like a wrestling match with words. As expected, progress was slow; documentation writing is like a marathon rather than a sprint. Yet, the octopus metaphor I decided to use keeps me entertained as I pen down tentacle after tentacle. I'm carrying on with it, even though the word 'tentacle' now feels slightly odd having written it so many times.
Meanwhile, my artistic experiments with the pen plotter were unexpectedly rewarding. I worked on the 'sea howls from the west' project, randomly selecting six pens to test this approach. Although I only managed to complete one plot due to setup time, knowing that the process is now in place gives me confidence. With everything aligned, I'm looking forward to producing more plots throughout the week.
The transition into caffeine-free living wasn't as challenging as feared today. Fortunately, I sailed through without the dreaded headache. Wrapping myself in the warmth of the studio, I made sure to drink plenty of water and even tried some kombucha, which proved to be a refreshing and slightly sweet alternative. Although my diet could have been better, hydration was on point, and I'll pin myself a 'well done' badge for that.
Reflecting on the day, I am grateful for a few small yet meaningful things: my trusty heated blanket, the cleverness of code powering the pen plotter, and the proximity of local shops for a quick banana restock. A dentist visit also made the list, thanks to the hygienist's haphazard mix of gentle care and mild gum torture leading to healthier teeth.
All in all, Monday was a solid start to the week. I successfully balanced the demands of art, writing, and self-care without letting any single element fizzle out. As I wind down and close the chapter on today's adventures, I look forward to what the coming days have in store. Here's to more art, finite tentacles, and fewer headaches in the week to come.
