I've decided to start writing some notes weekly, describing what I've been up to.
Lets see if I'm able to keep up
Highlights
This week has been pretty regular, 40-hour work week, part of the large corporate machine. However, it was my mom's birthday last Wednesday, which she celebrated at home. I was working from home that day, and while I did focus on my job, I of course had a slice of cake as well.
Me, my dad, bother, and sister-in-law got her a present a couple weeks prior: a robot vacuum: the Roborock Q5 Max+. And she's generally really happy with it. It's already a lot better than the robot vacuum she had previously, which got stuck on the regular.
I've started to draw a little more as well. I drew one of my characters, and it turned out pretty nicely. I think.

And I'm working on another piece involving her as well:

Besides that, I may or may not have started drafting up a new redesign for my portfolio. Which is funny because I didn't even finish the redesign for this current one. But I'm pretty excited about where this version is going. I feel like my personality will shine through a lot more.
I read an article by Sophie Koonin here, which really motivated me to try again. Mainly because of this line:
Experiment in production, write bad code and ship it. If you screw it up, just revert. Undo. This site deploys in <30 seconds, so nobody would ever know I messed it up (and I have, repeatedly).
...
So, once again my digital call to arms: build your own website. Make it fun. Make it pointless. But most importantly: make it yours.
Consumed
Minecraft: Last week I was sick and decided to pick up Minecraft again with a friend. Since then, I've been playing again occasionally. Which is pretty fun since I've been out of it for a while and a bunch of new things were added that I haven't discovered before.
Flikken Maastricht: My parents have been binging this show for some reason. And while I usually just hang around and watch TikTok videos or draw on my iPad, I do pick up bits and pieces of this show.
K3 en Het Magische Medallion: I can't believe I've done this, but yesterday night while laying in bed, I watched this entire movie from my TikTok For You Page?? The movie is incredibly nostalgic for me, though, so it was fun to rewatch.
That's about it for this week. See ya next time.
