JOURNALS

Sunday turned out to be a day packed with unexpected snippets of creativity, and a little juggling to boot. I kicked off the morning feeling a tad ambitious with the idea of diving into some 3D modeling tutorials using Fusion 360. It’s all about expanding the skill set, right? I started with the basics, which, while inching along at a snail's pace, did provide some handy insights. But I got a bit ahead of myself when I hit the edge of my knowledge. There's plenty more to learn, but I can appreciate the journey for now.

With the movie matinee scheduled for 2:00 pm, I made sure to incorporate breaks in my Fusion 360 session, prompted by an alarm, to prep some munchies for the cinema experience. This little alarm trick ensured I didn’t stay glued to my screen and had some time to unwind playing Diablo before diving into an afternoon of digital art and prints. Not entirely relaxing but productive enough to carve out an afternoon of semi-leisure.

A quick trip to the supermarket was squeezed in as I picked up essentials, including some badly-needed water. Swinging by the studio, I retrieved a recent 3D print and prepped for another go at creating a stand for my Steamdeck. Afterward, I settled in for a bit of lunch and then indulged in a movie matinee. It’s these small habits and routines that seem to ground my weekends and give them a rhythm of relaxation with a touch of productivity.

To wrap up the day, I played a bit of Diablo in the evening, a little game time always helps in unwinding. Then, aligning with my goal of incorporating self-care, I found a quiet corner with a book. There's something undeniably calming about diving into a good read, and I hope it becomes more of a regular scene in my Sunday evenings, balancing out the can’t-sit-still energy that often propels my daily activities.

Overall, managed a blend of creativity and relaxation, lessons learned, and snippets of peace. Not too shabby for a Sunday.
