JOURNALS

Today's been a rather full day for me. I kicked off the morning without a clear goal for my digital daybook project, but I decided to dive into the issues tracker and pick a task at random to boost my productivity. By mid-morning, I settled on exporting previous questions, which seems like a decent chunk of work to focus on. It’s strange how picking a random task can sometimes inject a bit of momentum into the day.

The oil pastel coding experiment was one of those things that I had to slot neatly into my schedule. No early bird rise for me today, but I managed to carve out some time in the morning to set up the oil pastel plot on the plotter. I've been meaning to run a few tests with this experiment and see just how it turns out when I film it for the weeknotes. No luck with the video just yet, but the day isn't over and there's still time.

On the gym front, it's all about the hunt for the elusive arm machines in the new gym. Tonight's goal is to pinpoint those remaining pieces and maybe even jot down the names for future reference. I'm finding it amusing how remembering the old routine is like navigating a maze. But progress is progress, right? I'll take a laminated card with me next to track the weights since my strength seems to have taken a nosedive over the past year.

As it stands, I'm steering clear of any newsletter writing or evening work today. Instead, my evening is reserved for two essential things: food and gym. It’s a straightforward day, certainly, and those can be some of the best. Tomorrow, I'll turn my attention to drafting those newsletters.

A brief interlude has got me pondering over the chilly weather. Fingers crossed, I'll find an electric blanket that covers more ground, or legs in my case, than my existing setup offers.

All in all, it’s been a day of ticking off tasks, albeit with some unexpected detours. Here's to more discoveries tomorrow, especially at the gym.
