Work burns my brain out so damn much I can't do anything even remotely mentally-draining by the time I get home. Forced lack of sleep all week long doesn't help either. I have 9 side projects I want to do so far and counting, yet even gaming is too difficult! From time to time, I get a tiny bit of vigor back over the weekend that I manage to do a couple hours of side project work. It's just too much, when you're learning a completely new stack, new language, new architecture, new everything and doing it all at once, there's far too much learning and brain usage going on to allow room for anything else. Your brain needs rest too.

Needless to say, as soon as this project is over I'll be having my fun. Until then, I remain a slave making somebody else rich :(
