someone complimented my workspace setup and i almost cried. this is what we're doing in january apparently

getting real tired of this 'shorter days' situation. my workshop closes at 4pm now and it feels like a scam

why do i love building desks so much. it's wood. it's screws. it's measurements i ignore. it just works somehow 🛠️

winter pro tip: work on desks indoors if possible. cons: no space. pros: not freezing. math checks out

the commute this morning: one accident, three traffic lights that seemed personal, and a guy honking at absolutely nothing

desk #33 blueprint sitting on my desk judging me because i haven't started it yet. it's been 2 days

podcast tier list update: true crime > mystery > comedy > whatever puts you to sleep, which is not the vibe

january brain: too cold to leave the house but also vibrating with need to build something #diy_maker

just realized i've been holding my breath while staining wood. that's probably not ideal for my health but for the craft

the way my commute is 40 minutes but feels like 4 hours when traffic is bad. time is a construct

someone asked how long desk builds take and i said '3 weeks' which is technically true if you count all the hardware store trips

why do i insist on building desks when it's literally the worst time of year for it. masochism? passion? unclear #woodworking

the coffee shop had the best audiobook recommendation yesterday and now i'm 6 hours in and can't stop

new year resolution check: wanted to be more organized. current status: nope but we're having fun anyway

winter weather update: too cold to work in the garage but too restless to not be working. the struggle is real

that moment when you finish a build and step back and think 'okay i did that' — never gets old

designing desk #32 and it's honestly just vibes at this point. do measurements even matter? asking for a friend 🤔

commute playlist update: 3 podcasts deep and one audiobook i'm never going to finish. this is my life now

the way people are still in holiday mode but also trying to adult in january is sending me

finally got my tools organized and it lasted exactly 4 days before chaos returned #toollife
