JOURNALS

Oh, Monday! I kicked off the day trying to muster up some motivation. Honestly, I felt like just cruising through it. I lingered at home, finally making my way to the studio just in time for the day to start. All my "big ideas" flew out the window as my comfy bed kept me there a little longer than planned. But, hey, sometimes it's alright to just roll with the punches, right?

During lunch, I hoped to dive into the "The Sea Howls from the West" project. With this new pen plotter, my coding tasks have become simpler. I planned to get some files ready for the plotter. Crossing fingers I’d manage it by the end of the week.

Had a technical meeting lined up with Alex. They're off soon, leaving me holding the fort, and that's both a wee bit thrilling and slightly terrifying. No big deal, I just need to cram all the tech wizard wisdom they've imparting since I’ll be solo on the tech front. We spent the morning figuring it out together.

Later, I nudged the pen plotting code a bit more, realising it was almost ready – just needed that last push. Afternoon flew by with work before wrapping up for the day.

So, about the digital daybook. Mission accomplished! Sent it off to everyone. Feels quite satisfying to see that ticked off. That said, winding down was easy enough, and all seemed wrapped up snugly by the evening. Heated blankets and having the iPad close saved the chilly moments. Oh, and code that cooperated for once, cheerful Kitty and its chatter with the Vestaboard added to the magic.

That’s Monday then. Nothing grand or extravagant, but a little step forward. As always, I try to keep things light, plan to hit the studio early tomorrow. Besides, it's getting quite cold, and it feels better shuffling faster to warmth. Focusing on staying calm and steady has worked thankfully well today, and with that, optimistic vibes for tomorrow.
