Day 8: Another Work Week Begins
Woke up wanting another two hours of sleep. One day I'll wake up refreshed, I swear it. I did hurt my left shoulder somehow, though. I know I did it while sleeping. Just old 30s things. So I'll have to take it easy on the lifting and packing today to make sure I don't make it worse somehow.

On the Packing Front
Waaaaay too tired. I think I need to take tomorrow off from any packing. Knowing me I'll still push, but the supplies we need aren't even here yet. So pushing myself to do it doesn't make sense. A real break is needed.
Stuff Packed
Clothes - I picked about 8 days worth of clothes that I'll be taking on the initial trip up to my friend's place for the apartment viewing. The plan is to pick an apartment while the boyfriend is still with me, sign a lease together, and then I'll stay up there until the move-in date while he drives back down to pick up his dog and some extra boxes for the next trip up. Now the rest of my clothes can be packed in a box or used as packing material, which is always my choice when moving. Clothes as packing material is a two-in-one solution, in my opinion. The boyfriend seems to agree with me because he handed me a bunch of his, as well. This means the dresser is almost totally empty and ready to be moved out of the bedroom.
Kitchen Essentials 2 & Kitchen Tools Bucket & Stock Pot - My pot, my carbon steel skillet, and my saute pan should be the only three essentials I need since I've already packed one Dutch Oven. I just have to fit those into a box and then get some mixing bowls in with some utensils and I should be mostly set. I'm glad I worked on it yesterday so I could be sure. Also managed to pack some dishes to bake and eat in, which will be handy. And my stockpot since it's large and can hold some additional stuff in it.
More Knickknacks - I bought a bunch of 5x5x5 square boxes to pack small figurines we collect and it's working out great so far. It'll take a few more days to pack them all, but the square boxes also make for great filler material in other boxes.
Drawing
I got my Tourbox working and now I'm going to learn it along side ClipStudioPaint. Turns out it's not a rechargeable device, it uses batteries. And I had left it on for days. RIP the batteries it came with. Sorry, little guys.
Although no real drawing got done today, I made massive progress in my comfort with ClipStudio and my TourBox. I am already using keybinds on the TourBox, which feels fantastic to use. And then I spent an hour toying around with ClipStudio's brush settings to alter the default round brush to be more something I enjoyed using, and then created a sideways oval version. Now I can follow along a lot closer with the drawing techniques book I purchased. I'm so excited to do more tomorrow!!
Stretch
I managed to do both my programs today! The ankle one was really easy and yet somehow not something I could really do. There are so many ways the body can become inflexible, it's interesting!
Chess
I only felt like doing the Chess.com puzzles today, but at the evening I decided to do a match against a level 3 bot after all. I did terribly, but somehow managed to end it in a stalemate. The bot had all the pieces it needed to win, but used them terribly.
Things On Break:
- Forums
- Tekken 8
- Baking
- Game Dev
- SF Third Strike (On break until I finish the Tekken battlepass)
Thinking About Tomorrow
Gotta call the apartment complex since they didn't pick up today. I'm assuming because it's Easter Monday. I also gotta call the dentist.
Dates I'm Looking Forward To
- July 2nd - Avatar fighting game release!!
- August 6th - Marvel Tokkon release!
