Feb 8: What did I do this week?
2026-02-08
Felt better
Finally! I was out of bed for most of the time that I was awake this week, I'm pretty sure. Continuing to be able to just decide to do things and then do them right away and also slowly reawakening neglected parts of myself. January didn't end up being the Month of Throwing Things Out, but that's fine. I'm doing a little bit here and there.
Played a bunch of Last Epoch
I was in a weird state that happens sometimes after not being able to play games for a while, where it's hard to pick things back up because I'm afraid I won't be able to finish them, and so I went to Last Epoch, the 2024 diablolike, for something that doesn't present that kind of challenge. It's junk food, and sometimes junk food is just the thing. I played through the campaign in 11 hours as a Sentinel with a maximum survivability build, and it was fun to just ignore boss mechanics because they couldn't kill me. But that's enough of that for now, and next week I'm finally going to get back to Haiku, the Robot. I'm glad I felt well enough to do that much gaming.
Drew some boxes
I finished box 130/250 today, so I'm definitely going to finish this part. I still haven't missed a day! If I can brush my teeth every day then I can do some drawing exercises every day, I guess. Doing more non-Drawabox drawing is one of the things I've been feeling like more as my energy level has gone back up, and I've made a plan for and started a little bit on a piece that I'm going to spend next week executing as well as I can. I might not end up showing it to anyone, but I'm going to put time and effort into it.
Watched Back to Black 2026
One of the smaller GDQ speedrun marathons, featuring Black runners and raising money for Race Forward. This one only runs for four days and only for part of those days, so it hasn't been as much of a disruption as AGDQ and SGDQ usually are. Would recommend Mr. Bones.
Forgot something
I'm supposed to be writing down the headings for these posts during the week so I don't forget things, but I forgot to do that this time. I'm sure there's something else I was going to mention that just isn't coming to me right now. Oh well!
