Ok. I’ve been stuck inside a lot this week. I’m getting through my paper book. Hopefully I finish it tomorrow. I often have trouble concentrating but I’m working to her persistent on this. I have two more books queued up so there’s a little pressure.

That's awesome! Reading for pleasure or work/school?

Reading for pleasure. To see if I still can. To work on concentration. To escape my own thoughts. To increase discipline and learn to ignore distractions

Nice, what book?

Getting back into reading has been one of the best things that happened to me. It is an amazing hobby once you get into just being able to just lay down and read for a few hours. It took a while but if you fprce yourself enough you will end up making a good habbit of it.

It's a book in the "Howl's Moving Castle" series called "the house of many ways". It's a kids novel so it goes fast. Seeing the read pages stack up is motivating.

Nice, I had an ex who said it was a nice read but I never got around to it. Love the movie tho so I should probably check it out

I dread getting out of bed and going to work every single day. I hate every single thing about my life. Back pain and nerve damage are keeping me from enjoying anything I find any pleasure in. I don’t remember the last time I was actually happy. Even for a brief moment. How are you?

Really good. Got an ebook reader and it helped me to get back into late-night reading.

It's finally getting sunny and couldn't be happier walking outside in the sun with a coffee during my lunch break.

How are you, Booze?

Pretty chill so far. Exercised a lot. Currently attending a medical conference. And finally, my programming side project is advancing at good pace.

My week's going good! Got some stuff done outside the house that needed doing. I've also been experimenting a lot with my art lately, namely wholly reflective surfaces! I always love going for that early 2000's Gamecube-era 3D game look for my art!
