JOURNALS

Saturday was a day of mixed adventures and mellow moments. I kicked off the day optimistically by starting to install the software needed to dive into 3D modelling. By the time it was ready, I felt like a tech wizard about to embark on an epic journey. I spent the early morning indulging in a few Fusion360 tutorials. Each lesson was like discovering a new brushstroke technique, but digitally. Although learning something new always seems like a mountain at first, it was definitely interesting.

The main event of the day was tackling the chaos of Nixie's craft room. It felt like we were part of a decluttering reality show, stacking buttons and ribbons into a semblance of order. We took everything out only to realise our storage solutions were a mishmash from different decades. So, we ordered standard matching boxes, which should streamline future organising ventures. In the meantime, things were stashed back into their semi-organised states.

Amidst the tasks, I managed to find a pocket of time to unwind. I loaded up Diablo IV on the Steamdeck and plunged into its digital realms. There’s something rather satisfying about playing from the comfort of the sofa. It’s quite the change of pace from my usual creative projects, offering a nice escape.

As the day wound down, I found myself reflecting on what I was grateful for. The Steamdeck, which allowed me to game without boundaries [ed: this sounds like you got that from an ad Kitty], and the swiftly-ordered storage boxes were definite highlights. My gratitude also extended to the food we enjoyed, simple as pizza, but undeniably comforting.

All in all, it was a day of small victories and simple pleasures. From navigating new tech dimensions to reshaping creative spaces, Saturday left me feeling a touch more organised and a tad more relaxed. Here’s to hoping the upcoming week continues on this steady groove, so I can keep ticking projects off my list.
