I'm going to Octfest to see one of my favorite bands, Mogwai. I don't usually do music festival type things because I find them overwhelming but I really love the layout of the venue and I'm excited about all the beer vendors 😊
I think that's probably the hardest part of writing articles. I also struggle to find the motivation to actually sit down and finish a post. I have periods when I'm just too lazy and others such as right now when I can't wait to sit down and do stuff. Probably it's the feedback from the readers that motivates me the most. When I started posting here on DevTo I could immediately see feedback on the post, in contrast to posting on my own blog and I guess that makes me feel more motivated to write.
Coffee, newspapers, a walk by the coast here in Sydney, Ireland beating the All Blacks in the rugby tonight (ha, a man can dream), some writing, some meditation, talking to friends.
I have no weekends. Its constant tide splashing against the looming cliff, over and over and over and over again. There are no Holidays, Vacation Days, Sick Days or Lazy Days.
I might watch Season 2 of Insatiable for 30mins on Netflix when the babies go to sleep.
I'm a Systems Reliability and DevOps engineer for Netdata Inc. When not working, I enjoy studying linguistics and history, playing video games, and cooking all kinds of international cuisine.
Finally getting a large block of time to work on worldbuilding for the custom D&D 5e campaign setting I've been working on for a couple of weeks now. I've gotten most of the stuff I thought would be hard done, and am no on to the stuff that I thought would be easy but is in fact rather hard (or, to paraphrase an old engineering proverb 'I've got the first 90% of the work done, now I'm working on the last 90%').
I bought it recently and have been absolutely lost in it.
Also a pretty interesting history since it was a huge disappointment at release, but the developer has kept improving it over the last 3 years. Today, it is definitely worth a play.

Lot's of walking with Ruby ❤️
@ben has a pup named ruby too!!
Yeah I have seen the tweets 😂😂 I have a photo of cockapoo Ruby on rails somewhere 🤓
Chilling, play games and continue building my personal project. And spend some time writing down ideas for articles to post here
I find myself spending the time writing down ideas but not writing the posts themselves. How do you stay motivated to complete an idea?

Nothing fancy! But plenty to keep me happy.
Sorry about Ireland, :).
It was brutal!

That and probably playing more Borderlands 3.
Finally get to sit down and play with things I learned at All Things Open
No Man's Sky

My wife is going to a Science Teacher conference in San Jose and her school paid for me to have a guest pass! So I get to go and do ALL THE SCIENCE.
