    I'm going to try! I'm hoping it's going to be better for my mental health to finally work on something creative.

    I'm going to make a cat house/tree (depending on how high I can make it) out of materials I already have. I have a lot of boxes and craft material. I just want to reuse and reduce waste I've got. So it might still end up looking quite shoddy but that's okay. As long as the cat likes it.

    Also, If there's time, I'd like to do at least 1 small watercolour piece.

    I can't decide! I have so many things I want to do but I know I might not end up finishing them. I have so many different kits, if I worked with one of them, does that count? Like a punch needling...

    I can't decide! I have so many things I want to do but I know I might not end up finishing them. I have so many different kits, if I worked with one of them, does that count? Like a punch needling kit. That sort of thing. Not something particularly original.

    But I'm also thinking of building a cat house out of all the cardboard boxes and random materials I have. I've got a new cat and I remember building one for my childhood cat as a kid and that was fun.

    The challenge would be to only use materials I already have. So it might look shoddy but that's kind of the whole point. I kind of wanted to find ways to recycle.

    Also, The cat won't care about aesthetics. Haha.

    The other thing I'm thinking of doing is to watercolour or acrylic paint something. I've not touched it in so long.

    I do the same! I read an hour before sleep and I use my Kobo. It is electronic, but I don't count it as an electronic device.

    The screen is not the same and you're not connected to any other distractions like social media or messaging.

    It's pretty much just a book display to me.

    Hahaha. That has happened to me many times. Before bed books have to be interesting enough for you to want to keep going, but boring enough that you can put away. It's a hard balance to find!...

    Sometimes I find the perfect book for that, then near the end with the climax, things get exciting, and I'll have to abandon the book and delegate that to day reading instead.

    What if you got into light novels instead? They tend to be short and very easy to read.

    Although now that I've got a new cat, I've been trying to establish a routine where I play with the cat, feed her, and then go to sleep. It really does take a while.

    But she usually sleeps after that whole routine too. It's very cute.
