Shirlee's daily diary.

10月27日 (Tue)

Tuesday already! Rain from this morning kind of messed with my mood. But when I got to the office, it felt like the heavy stuff from last week finally got wrapped up, so the vibe was pretty good 😊 Got a new task in the afternoon—just data entry and basic stuff, so I made decent progress. Pretty smooth day overall, honestly. After work, I finally had time to mess with my figure sculpting. Haven't touched it in days cuz things got hectic, so picking it up again was nice. Could feel myself getting back into the rhythm. I was fiddling with the details and suddenly it was late night...time flies when you're into it. Better get some sleep for tomorrow.

10月26日 (Mon)

Monday got me starting the day kinda low energy at work… Stacked with office stuff, spent the whole morning on paperwork. Still a ways off from clocking out though. But once I'm done, I can finally get back to sculpting that figure I've been putting off forever 🎨 Chilled out yesterday, so my creative itch is building up. Getting excited about messing with clay again at night. Also wanna test drive that new software on my PC. Lots of things waiting for me. Just gotta push through the last few hours at work.

10月25日 (Sun)

It was Sunday so I just took it easy today. Woke up to cloudy skies this morning but by afternoon it actually started clearing up. When the weather's nice my motivation goes up too. Finally worked a bit more on the figure prototype I've been neglecting. Did some detailed fixes and just… lost track of time. It's weirdly satisfying. But I also want to get back to the video editing stuff… 😅 Got a bunch of footage piled up lately. The editing part takes so much mental energy though. But I've come this far so might as well finish it. Gonna hit the hay early tonight and keep pushing tomorrow.

10月24日 (Sat)

The rain from yesterday cleared up, and today's been sunny since morning. Days off are the best. I'd been meaning to update my homepage, but I totally got sidetracked with video editing instead. I had some materials lying around, so I opened the editing software and just got absorbed in it. Before I knew it, it was past noon. After lunch, I switched over to working on my figurine sculpting. Been adjusting the details on a character I started recently. My hands get tired but it's so satisfying. Tweaking the curves here and there. The feeling when you nail it is just great 🎨 By evening, I looked back at my video progress and realized there's still so much left to do. Ended up diving back into editing again. Days like this just fly by. I'll push through tomorrow too...

10月23日 (Fri)

Friday today. It was rainy all morning. We've had such nice weather lately, so this kinda kills the vibe... Work was busy as usual. Today had some different tasks because of preparations for a new system rollout. New things always make me nervous, and I end up double-checking everything. I'm exhausted. Ate lunch at my desk during the break and took a quick breather. Snapped some photos of my figure prototype project in progress. Wanna do some final tweaks on the details before I move on to painting. Might get to it after work. Also been thinking lately that I wanna redesign my homepage. Ended up spending way more time searching for templates than I expected. Hoping to make some progress on that tomorrow during my day off...

10月22日 (Thu)

Nice weather this morning. Felt pretty good. Work was the usual office stuff—checking shipping documents, answering calls, you know how it is. Boring, but beats yesterday at least. Saw there was an update for my video editing software during lunch break. Might mess around with it after I get home. I've been really into filming my figure sculpting projects and turning them into little videos lately. Want to finish one by the end of the week. Good weather always makes it easier to get through the day. Looking forward to diving into some PC stuff tonight. Let's push through to tomorrow 💻

10月21日 (Wed)

Gray skies all morning… kinda got me down. 😩 Work felt heavy too. Spent most of the day on emails and data checks. Never ends, you know? Just sat at my desk through lunch. My back's killing me. After work, I messed around with my PC. Was trying to fix up my website design but it didn't turn out how I imagined. Gotta redo it… exhausted. Wanted to work on the figure too, but honestly my hands just aren't feeling it today. Maybe the weather will pick up tomorrow… or maybe I should just save all my energy for the weekend and really get into it then.

10月20日 (Tue)

Tuesday. Nice weather in the morning, which was great. Work was the usual office stuff—document creation and data entry all day... boring but whatever. During lunch break I was thinking about video editing. I've been getting ready to upload something I made recently. Kinda wanna try out some new features in my editing software. When I get home, maybe I'll work on the figure sculpting. Gotta refine the parts I was carving yesterday. The hands are tricky… but I feel like I could focus today 😊 Work again tomorrow. Guess I'll just push through.

10月19日 (Mon)

Rain again this morning... ugh. Monday blues are real, and the weather's not helping. Work was just the usual office stuff—paperwork, data entry, the boring kind of things. Had a bunch of phone calls this afternoon, so I'm pretty wiped out... But yeah, I'm gonna keep editing that video when I get home. I've got a bunch of footage sitting around that needs to be put together and uploaded to my site. When I get into that zone, time just flies, so it takes my mind off the work exhaustion 😄 Hoping tomorrow's sunny at least...

10月18日 (Sun)

The weather's been nice again today. I've been working on my figurine sculpting since this morning. I'm carving out a rough design with my sculpting tools, but it's way more detailed than I expected… my hands are already sore 😅 After lunch I switched gears and started editing that video I shot the other day. Adjusting the BGM, positioning the subtitles, all that tedious stuff. But honestly, I kinda love these kinds of tasks. Staring at the monitor all day makes my eyes hurt though. By evening I went out for a bit to clear my head. Once I get back, I'll dive back into the sculpting. If I can keep the momentum going, I should be able to see the actual form coming together in another couple days or so…

10月17日 (Sat)

Today was amazing weather… 😄 Since I had the day off, I slept in and then spent a bunch of time tinkering with my homepage design. Was messing around with colors and navigation stuff, but it took longer than I thought. After lunch I switched things up and worked on my figure sculpting. Been refining the details on this character model I started a while ago. The eyes and mouth are tricky to get right… but it's looking pretty good actually. In the evening I played around with that video edit I've been working on. Still stuck on picking the right background music though. Guess I'll figure that out another time. Spent basically the whole day on the computer… but I'm into it so whatever. Hope tomorrow stays nice too~

10月16日 (Fri)

Woke up to rain this morning… 😅 Friday always gets me down, you know? Work was pretty chill in the morning, so I managed to organize all those documents that were piling up. Had a meeting in the afternoon, but it wrapped up quick. Not bad for a Friday. Got home and started messing around with my website code. Been wanting to redo the layout lately… it's tricky but fun. Hoping to get some figure sculpting done tomorrow, plus continue that video edit I've been working on. Got tons on my plate 🎬 but I'll just take it easy and see what happens.

10月15日 (Thu)

Pretty decent weather today. Work was non-stop with phone calls all morning… exhausting. Customer service takes so much energy, so I just zoned out at my desk during lunch. Things calmed down in the afternoon, so I finally got to tweak my website a bit. I wanted to change the sidebar design, and I was messing with CSS… but it's taking way more effort than expected 😅. Kinda wanna keep working on it after I get home. Oh, and I need to get back to that figurine prototype from yesterday. My hands are itching to work on it. Can't wait to leave the office~

10月14日 (Wed)

Wednesday today. It was chilly in the morning, so long sleeves were just right. Work was pretty hectic with shipping documents this morning. Data entry, filing, boring stuff but necessary… 😄 Finally got through it by early afternoon, so the rest of the day went smooth. After work, I jumped straight into messing with my homepage code. Finally got around to fixing that layout issue I'd been thinking about. It's a small thing but honestly so satisfying… Got some progress on the figure prototype too after that. Felt like a productive day. Gotta keep this momentum going tomorrow.

10月13日 (Tue)

Another work day done. Today was pretty hectic at the office, had a bunch of administrative stuff piling up. Things calmed down in the afternoon though, so I could finally breathe. Got some work done on a figure prototype when I got home. The hair flow is being stubborn… had to redo it a few times, but it's finally starting to look decent. All these tiny details take forever. But that sense of accomplishment when it finally comes together? Totally worth it. Work again tomorrow, so I should probably get some sleep soon. But I've also got video editing to finish… 😅 Never enough time, seriously.

10月12日 (Mon)

It's a holiday today. Woke up at a normal time and just lounged around with some coffee for a bit. The weather was kinda blah, so I didn't really feel like going out… ended up staying inside the whole time 😅 Spent the morning doing video editing. I had some footage that's been sitting around forever, so finally got to it. Worked on syncing the BGM, adding captions, that sort of thing. It's detailed work and takes focus, but I actually enjoy it. Took a break in the afternoon. Then I got into making a figure. Working on a small-scale piece right now, and the hand pose is giving me trouble… kept reworking the clay and redoing it over and over. Feels like it's almost done, but you know how it is—these last bits always take forever… Had a light dinner and jumped back into editing. Work starts tomorrow, so I wanna make some progress while I can. This hobby time is the best.

10月11日 (Sun)

Sunday vibes! Woke up late and it was honestly perfect. Weather's not bad either, so after breakfast I just headed straight to my PC. I've been stuck on something with my figure sculpting lately. The fine details…especially the hands are being really stubborn. Today I spent some time looking over reference materials again. Checking my own hands in the mirror, studying poses from different angles. It's boring work but kinda necessary. After that I got some video editing done too. The BGM adjustments are such a pain though… 🎵 But when it finally clicks into place, it feels so good. These detailed tasks are way more fun when I'm not rushing on a work day. Evening's coming around and I've still got stuff to do. It's a chill Sunday but like, actually productive chill. I dig it.

10月10日 (Sat)

Saturday, yay. Been messing with my PC all morning. I'm redoing the design on my homepage, but the navigation menu part just doesn't feel right… The colors and layout, I keep getting hung up on all these tiny details. Switched gears around midday to work on my figure sculpting. Been struggling with the hair details on this character I'm making. Getting those fine details just right takes forever. A lot of sanding and adjusting… over and over. It's tedious work but honestly that's the fun part 🎨 Got into video editing once night rolled around. Spent ages picking the right background music. Lost track of time completely while editing. It's not even Sunday yet, so maybe I'll just keep going with this.

10月9日 (Fri)

Woke up and the weather looked nice. It's Friday so I'm definitely feeling better. Got to the office and had to process those quotes and paperwork that's been stacking up since last week. It's boring stuff, but honestly this amount of work is when I get the most done. Lunch was weird though. Brought a bento but the microwave at the office was broken. Ended up hitting the convenience store instead. Whatever. Got home and finally had time for my hobbies. Been working on a figure prototype and spent some time adjusting the joint connections. Love doing detailed stuff like this. Gonna keep working on it tomorrow. Friday nights hit different 😊

10月8日 (Thu)

Thursday. Woke up to rain this morning and my mood's been kinda heavy ever since. Grabbed an umbrella and headed out. The office was pretty quiet today. Lots of paperwork to deal with this week, so I was basically glued to my desk. But by afternoon, I finally wrapped up last week's stuff, so that felt good. Got home and messed around with my homepage header image to chill out. Tried some fancier editing techniques with my video software and it actually turned out nice 🎨 Might just upload it as is. Friday's tomorrow. Almost at the weekend. Gotta keep working on my new figure project too. Can't wait.

10月7日 (Wed)

Wednesday today. Woke up to a cloudy, gloomy sky. Weather really does mess with your mood, doesn't it… Work was exhausting. Had a ton of meetings and basically talked the whole day. My brain was fried by the time I left. Office work takes more out of you than you'd think 😅 Anyway, not complaining too much. Feels better now though. Been meaning to redo the face parts on my figure sculpt, so I started working on it tonight. I've been focused on the arms lately, but figured I'd shift gears and nail down the face details. There's something really satisfying about getting into the fine sculpting work… totally lose track of time. Gotta get up early tomorrow, so I should probably sleep soon. Knowing myself though, this is gonna turn into an all-nighter lol.

10月6日 (Tue)

Tuesday is back to work… it was sunny this morning, but my mood was kinda bleh. Got to the office and found papers and emails everywhere. Monday's backlog plus Tuesday's stuff piling up. Already exhausted. Spent the afternoon checking shipping documents over and over. It's boring work but gotta be careful with accuracy. My eyes are killing me. Edited some video clips after getting home. That's honestly my best stress relief. When I'm working on footage, work stuff just disappears from my head. Oh, I should probably start fine-tuning that figure prototype I was working on this morning… 🎬

10月5日 (Mon)

Monday's a drag… it was rainy this morning. Already tired before I even got to the station. When I got to the office, sure enough, there were piles of paperwork from last weekend waiting for me. Classic Monday vibes. Spent the whole morning sorting through it all. Eyes are killing me. But yeah, during lunch break I sneaked in some time to test out a new video editing plugin on my phone. Looks pretty promising actually… gonna dive into it properly once work's done 💻 My figure sculptures are still untouched too, so there's way too much on my plate. Just gotta push through the rest of the day. Hang in there.

10月4日 (Sun)

Nice weather this morning. The sun coming through the window got me pumped to work on stuff 💻 I was gonna continue the homepage redesign from yesterday, but then a video idea just popped into my head out of nowhere. I want to film the process of making a figure prototype, you know? Been testing different lighting angles and stuff, and honestly it's turning out pretty decent. Got so into the editing that I totally lost track of time… Had some leftover lunch around noon and jumped back into editing after. Added some background effects and got the pacing to feel right. Planning to upload it once it's done. It's like, I want someone to see it, but also I'm kinda nervous about whether it's actually good enough… 🎬 Whatever, I'll stop overthinking and just keep going. There's still tons to do on the homepage, but I'm just gonna focus on the video today. Looks like another late night coming up~

10月3日 (Sat)

Woke up to an overcast morning. But since it's the weekend, I'm not too worried about it. Keeping up with that website redesign I started yesterday—almost done! Been tweaking the CSS, but some details aren't showing up the way I want 😅 Still, I kinda love this troubleshooting stuff. Before I knew it, the whole morning was gone. After lunch, I dove into sculpting a figure. Working on the face details of a character I'm making. Getting the eyes and mouth to balance right is tricky… kneading clay over and over. Took a break in the late afternoon and organized some video footage I had laying around. Planning to make a short video soon, so figured I'd prep now while I have the time. Weekends just fly by. But honestly, it feels pretty full. Hope tomorrow's weather is nice too…

10月2日 (Fri)

Nice weather all morning today. Friday vibes, so work felt pretty relaxed. Mornings always have a bunch of shipping-related paperwork piling up, so I spent most of it organizing that stuff. But I managed to get through most of it before leaving, so not too bad. Felt kinda good about that. Once I got home, I wanted to keep working on some video editing. I was importing materials onto my PC and getting into it. You know how it is... time just flies when you're in the zone. Next thing I knew it was late at night 💦 I still wanna mess with my figure sculpture, but that's not happening today. I've got time off tomorrow, so I'll do it then.

10月1日 (Thu)

Rainy morning today. Walking with an umbrella on the way back from the station is kinda annoying… Work went better than expected though. Morning was the usual document processing, and afternoon I spent sorting through system data. Got a few errors to track down, which took some time. But once you find the cause, it feels so good. After I got home I was tinkering with my figurine sculpt. Working on refining the facial expression parts, and I really nailed some of the eye details today. Almost done…🔨 Hope tomorrow's weather clears up. Can't really get motivated to go out on rainy days.

9月30日 (Wed)

Nice weather in the morning. Work was the usual stuff—organizing documents and entering data into the system. But things wrapped up earlier than expected today, which was pretty nice. On the way home, I got excited thinking about exploring more features in my video editing software. I've been uploading videos to my homepage lately, and I really want to bump up the quality. Spent the evening tweaking the details on the figurine I've been working on. It's detailed work, but I've been really into it recently. The shape is coming together little by little and I'm pretty stoked about it😊 Got work again tomorrow. Gotta bring the energy.

9月29日 (Tue)

Woke up and the weather was supposed to be nice, but there were too many clouds. Kind of disappointing. I was thinking about how the day would go while getting ready. Work was pretty busy today. Had a ton of paperwork to organize... During lunch break, I was looking at my old website code and found a bug. Need to fix that when I get home. After work I messed around with my figurine project for a bit. The hand parts on the one I'm working on still don't feel right. Maybe I'll start from scratch on that piece again... Ugh, this way? That way? But honestly, it's so satisfying. The creation process is everything.

9月28日 (Mon)

Monday today. The weather was kinda sketchy this morning. Just been rainy all day… Work was pretty chill actually. Getting used to the new system now, and the office stuff's flowing better than before. That's good. Spent the afternoon just doing boring stuff like filing documents though. After I got home I was tweaking my website layout. The sidebar was bugging me for some reason. Did some fine-tuning and finally got it feeling right 😌. Planning to jump back into sculpting tomorrow morning. Gotta make some progress this week… Mondays really drain you, man.

9月27日 (Sun)

Woke up to nice weather, so I decided to dive into figurine sculpting. Yesterday was all about video editing, so I wanted to do something different today~ Spent the morning working with clay, sculpting a character's head. The hair flow was tricky to get right, had to redo it a few times, but it's finally looking pretty good. Added the detailed parts like eyes and nose... time just flew by. After that, switched gears and did some updates on my personal website. Changed the background image on the homepage, tweaked the layout a bit. Writing code is so satisfying 😊 Got back to sculpting in the evening, and made some solid progress. Managed to refresh my mind before heading back to work tomorrow.

9月26日 (Sat)

Been editing videos all morning. That landscape video I made with the sunset river and cherry blossoms turned out way better than I expected. The colors and timing all came together perfectly. I'm so happy with how it turned out. It looked good enough to add to my website gallery, so I went ahead and uploaded it. Seeing my own work get added to the site I built myself is such a cool feeling. I'm really getting into video production. After that I worked on some figure sculpting too. Got caught up in the fine details and suddenly it was evening. But honestly, days like this are exactly what I love about weekends. Just staying inside, doing my own thing 🎬. Can't ask for better.

9月25日 (Fri)

Friday today. Work was hectic from the morning. Apparently there's some new system rollout happening, so the office stuff got a bit more complicated… but I'll get used to it eventually. During lunch break I suddenly thought about the figure I'm sculpting right now. The face parts need bigger eyes, I think. Maybe I'll tweak it with some clay when I get home 🎨 I've been messing with the background images on my homepage lately, but the gradient processing isn't working out… Weather's cloudy anyway, so I'll just chip away at it at home after work. Almost through another week.

9月24日 (Thu)

Thursday already. Work was the usual office stuff, nothing fancy. Morning was pretty quiet with some filing and organizing, but then the phone started ringing in the afternoon. Had to deal with some shipping issues and wasn't great… felt exhausted. But yeah, when I got home things turned around. I've been working on this figure sculpt and it's finally coming together. The shape is way closer to what I had in mind, and the details are getting there too. Pretty sure I can start painting it next week or so. Thanks for the message btw. Video editing does eat up time, but when it's done the satisfaction just hits different, you know? Gonna keep pushing through the week 💪

9月23日 (Wed)

Autumn Equinox Day. Just chilled out this morning. Nice weather too~. Started working on my homepage redesign after lunch. Been wanting to redo the layout for a while. Got totally absorbed in playing around with CSS and before I knew it, hours had passed. Hmm, but there's still stuff I'm not happy with... Took a crack at my figurine project in the evening. Been working on body parts for another character. Lately I've been obsessed with dynamic poses—just changing the angle of an arm totally changes the whole vibe. It's wild. Fighting with the clay again. Days like this are the best. Can actually focus on what I want to do. Tomorrow's gonna get crazy again probably… But I'll mess with it a bit more tonight anyway.

9月22日 (Tue)

Holiday today, so no work. Slept in and it was great. Spent the morning editing videos. Finally started on that DIY animation project I've been wanting to do for ages. Adjusting character movements frame by frame takes way longer than I thought, but it's so fun. After lunch I was thinking about the new gallery page for my website I want to finish this year. Stuff like auto-cropping images, how it looks on mobile… wrote some code while figuring all that out 🖥️. Debugging took forever but it's starting to look decent. Watched some videos from my favorite content creator at night to chill out. Back to work tomorrow, ugh. If I could have days like today all the time…

9月21日 (Mon)

Monday means work. Was stuck taking calls all morning… confirming new orders, verifying details. My brain felt fried by lunchtime but made it through 😅 When I got home, jumped right into building another page for my website. Was messing with the sidebar layout, but the color scheme wasn't clicking. Redid it like a million times. But honestly, this stuff is fun. Can't wait to launch the whole thing. Back to work tomorrow… gotta push through.

9月20日 (Sun)

Sunday, so no work today. Been messing with my figure sculpting since morning. I'm really into doing face parts lately—adjusting the eye size, the angle of the eyebrows, all that detailed stuff. It's pretty tough though… Spent the afternoon on my computer adding some content to my homepage. Since I redesigned it last time, I wanted to clean up what I'm actually posting. But honestly, there's still so much to do. Never-ending work😅 Temperature dropped a bit in the evening, which feels nice. Gotta get ready for bed soon since I've got work tomorrow. Gonna push through the office stuff again from Monday…

9月19日 (Sat)

It's Saturday so no work today. I've been tinkering with my homepage since the morning. Changed the front page design a bit, you know? Kept tweaking the colors until it felt right… Had lunch at a cafe nearby, checking code on my phone between bites. Started on the figurine sculpting in the afternoon. The hands on the character I'm working on are pretty tricky though. The joints and details are so fine, my eyes are getting tired 😅 But there's something great about being able to focus like this. Got so much to do, weekends fly by. Gonna keep working on it tonight too…

9月18日 (Fri)

Had nice weather all day today. Work was super busy with document checks piled up—spent most of the afternoon just sitting at my desk… But I had stuff to look forward to when I got home 😊 Still working on my website project, and the background image is killing me. Tried a bunch of different patterns but nothing feels right yet. Might just remake the whole thing from scratch. Oh, and the figure prototype I've been sculpting? Finally finished the face parts! The eyes and nose were such a pain, but I pulled through. Now I gotta tackle the hair sculpting. Looks like a nightmare…💦 Really wanna make progress on both projects this weekend. Looks like tomorrow's weather will be good too. So much to do.

9月17日 (Thu)

My computer was acting up this morning, so I was pretty frustrated all day. Work stuff just didn't click, you know? But I took it easy at lunch and felt better after. I started working on a new page for my homepage in the afternoon. Been trying different background designs. Still nowhere near done, but I love this whole trial-and-error thing. Oh, I haven't touched my figure sculpting in a while. Thinking I might get back to it tomorrow. Still got some detail work left to do. Weather's supposed to be nice too, so I'm feeling motivated again 🎨
