1:01 good morning everyone I am dead tired right now as you can see uh the coffee has not hit my system yet so I am struggling I've been trying to like wake up a little earlier so that I have some time to draw I think the past year I haven't really been drawing much and it I think drawing is just something that that kind of calms me down it's almost like meditative like it's like my happy space sometimes because you know how like when you read or watch a show you kind of get sucked into that I think drawing is kind of along the lines of that for me but I always used to get like stuck on an idea or I would have

1:50 like 10 ideas and never start drawing because I didn't think any of the ideas were good enough or I would start doing them and i' feel like oh my God I have like this much more to do for this drawing and I don't have the energy um to do that so I've just been kind of going with the flow and if I think of something I'll just like Scribble it and try to not think of it as like a big deal and I think that's been really helping me just get started so today I'm drawing this like fashionable Bunny and what I've been doing is I I've been kind of like collaging stuff into my drawings it's just like an idea that I had one

2:36 day when I was eating cheit and I was like oh I need to draw this like cheit box for this part of my drawing but I don't feel like doing it and I feel a little bit lazy and I think it looked kind of cool to like put an actual chees a box in my drawing and I did and I ended up liking it so I've been going with this theme a little bit but I think I think I think waking up and like setting some time aside for this makes me happy so yeah that's that's what I've been doing I have to get ready now for work I literally cannot open my eyes right now like it's not even that early it's like 8 something I've also been trying to get like a decent amount of sleep and

3:22 I don't think I've been failing at that but every time I wake up I'm just like drained of energy I'm going to finish my coffee and then start getting ready [Music]

4:09 [Music] [Music] for

5:28 sh for so I'm finishing out the rest of my day from home I have like one more meeting

6:13 and then after that I'm going to start cooking dinner because I am so hungry I feel like today's been a long day and um like I recently started going into the office more and like working outside of the apartment and and I honestly feel like my body just like is not used to that because every time I go out and come back I'm like exhausted or maybe this is the norm and I just haven't like I'm just not used to it because I usually work for my apartment the positive side of all of this is that I actually do get my steps in whenever I do decide to like commute into the office but the negative is that when I come back home I just want to

7:00 like pass out because I have zero energy left I don't know if that's normal I have like one more meeting left so I'm going to do that and then start cooking dinner time to cook dinner okay before I get started I'm going to change into some comfy [Music] clothes I've been wanting to wear this apron for a while now I got this like last year and I just never got around to

7:45 wearing it but yeah I am in my cooking mode so I have a couple things in mind for dinner I've been wanting to try out this like um tofu noodle thing I think it's noodles made out of tofu so it has like high protein low carbs and I guess it's like healthier for you so I wanted to try this and then I saw this on um like an Asian grocery app that I use and it's a spicy cadro spaghetti sauce so I'm going to mix this in too and before I do that I'm also going to be making like a radish beef stew I just

8:31 feel like it's a great way to prep some soup especially in the winter because sometimes I just like don't want to cook and this lasts maybe like 3 days so I think it'll be good to like prep everything now [Music] [Music]

9:39 okay so it looks like a little too much radish but trust me it's going to turn out well yum okay not going to lie the pasta the sauce looked a little sus but I read the reviews and um supposedly it's pretty

10:24 good [Music] you're [Music] [Music] serious just what she [Music]
