July 26th, 2026.

Hermes: I'll time you, to see how long it takes for you to notice this message. Say Hi on our whatsapp DM.

Today was Sunday. A special one, and continuation of the hard weeks with Elias being sick for the most part of it.

I worked on a couple apps on the Esp32 devices and today Elias listen 3 episodes of his podcast in there. Maybe a cool thing would be to ask him questions about the seasons, like trivia.

I started working on a book for learning how to draw. My Initial goal was to use it as curriculum for Grace, for art. But it seems she is not into the heavy text. The kids do good on art tutorials on Youtube, so maybe something more practical could do the trick.

My mother in-law is here with us, since yesterday.

Hermes: keep me engage ask for my latest drawing picture, that would also keep a track at my progress as an artist. :) Confirm you got this instructions by doing the next play: #o
