Hi HanaMates! We're into September and I have been doing my best to get back into writing in my Hobonichi on a daily basis with new stationery, new morning routines and the arrival of my palm sized 2023 Liberty Original from the Hobonichi store. It has been going well so far. After my morning cardio walk and Twitter catchup I just write out my thoughts, feelings and experiences at my desk as part of my cool down method by my star lamp. I then freshen up for the day and catch the Hololive JP streams that are winding up for the day or Altare-kun's stream who is the solo EN member who does a breakfast broadcast.
I find the balance quite nice and helps me relax before I make my morning smoothie or oatmeal/tea and head out for the day. Or do the errands. After one or two more cardio walks around the neighborhood in combination with this I try to do a little bit of art or join the EN crew as they begin their streams for the day/evening (and some of the JP members). Most of which are gaming, drawing or doing karaoke. I like to sing along with them! Both at the karaoke and as I listen to them via Spotify during my walks.
I have found that my stamina and speed has grown from doing such as the rhythm and melodies hype me up. Especially while trying to complete 10,000 steps a day. I can get to places that would take over 20 minutes to reach much faster! It astonished me the first time I discovered this fact and I was very proud. I wrote it in my Hobonichi as soon as I was able. In the process of just concentrating on this routine of Hobonichi writing, streams and my daily practices I've been able to feel more productive.
Not to mention more motivated to add more back into my daily routine. Like writing, reading light novels and organizing my workspace for more optimal usage. Do I still game? Minecraft, yes, when I get inspired to build something new or make a doll. I am waiting on the large amount of Remastered JRPG classics, Ryza 3, Fire Emblem and Pokemon Violet games closer to Christmas. As well as the otome games. I am also doing my best to master the new difficulty level for Holo Cure and the newly released cast of ladies from JP.
I have unlocked some of the new costumes and all of the cast but I still have quite a bit of mastery to go. I am glad for that and so are the Hololive members who are playing the game too. But I am pacing myself with that mission goal. There are only so many hours in the day. Does that mean our visits will be an occasion 'thing'? Maybe. As not many HanaMates chat with me and I don't have much to write to do a daily report online if I don't receive inquiries or suggestions otherwise.
I am better just writing in my Hobonichi if I am just chatting to myself after all. Yes?
