Despite my constant fear of running out of ideas, I’ve somehow made it through yet another week of daily drawings. I’m not sure what I’ll do when life settles into a few days of pure routine. Most of my days already feel pretty similar: I wake up, lift weights or go for a run, work, eat, paint, read, spend time with the people in my life, and go to bed.

And yet, somehow, I’ve found something to draw every single day of 2026.

Maybe next week will finally stump me. Who knows.

Until then, let’s take a look at the latest one!

Monday

My hand felt a bit numb this morning. The doctor said it might be because Millimeter hit a tendon. It got better over the course of the day.

Millimeter’s transgression didn’t cost me my hand, fortunately. That would’ve really thrown a wrench into my daily drawing routine.

Even though it may look like I helped a lot with Anna’s move, I didn’t really do much. She organized everything herself, hired a company to move her things from the old place to the new one, and handled the whole ordeal like a champ.

Tuesday

It was a cute little day.

I like this page, somehow. Not much happened, yet all these little fragments of my day make it feel special. I’m not saying it wasn’t, but most of it was routine. Still, putting it into small drawings and gathering several of them on one page makes it come alive in context.

I remember thinking the part of me carrying groceries was dull and insignificant to anyone else. But looking at it now, it captures something real: that it was sunny, that I spent a little time outside, and that I enjoyed it. All of that, without many words.

Wednesday

I’m not sure how long I can keep milking this topic, but acquiring my favorite skyr is an ongoing struggle in my life, and it always feels worthy of an entry in my gratitude journal when I find it in good quantity.

This is week three of this newsletter, and I for one am enjoying it a lot. It feels neat to have a summary of all these otherwise unconnected pieces gathered somewhere. I also like that it mostly arrives in your inbox. It feels more personal than just throwing it into the algorithmic winds and hoping to find somebody who cares.

Thursday

I haven’t watched a single episode of Naruto in my life.

I’m not allowed to run quickly right now. Zone 2 training. So even though it’s especially hard to wake up and leave the house on days when interval training is on the menu, I always have fun once I’m actually doing it. There’s something about running fast that makes me feel powerful and in control of my body. Plus, after every sprint, I get a couple of minutes to recover. That’s nice. Like a relaxing walk in the morning!

Friday

We spent the first of May in the park, having a great old time. It couldn’t have been a better start to the month.

I’m so incredibly grateful to have a bunch of friends in the city I live in. That wasn’t the case just three years ago, and I still feel blessed that my rough-and-tumble decision to leave Berlin and, after a short detour, return to Hamburg has paid off this much.

Sitting in the sun, surrounded by nature and people I love, snacking on vegetables and hummus while debating whether we’re for or against the Olympics coming to our city, was the perfect start to May.

Saturday

I love city life, great weather, and days where you don’t have a plan and just let things unfold.

Speaking of moving back to Hamburg: this was a perfect day in this amazing city. We started out with one plan, but after a phone call it turned into something else entirely, and suddenly we were sitting at the harbour, drinking beer at 11:30 a.m. and enjoying the sun. Great food, a quick and successful shopping trip, and a cosy evening. What more could you want? Loved it.

Sunday

I actually had to take a nap later on. We even tried to stay in Zone 2, but it was harder than usual.

We got an early preview of summer this week. Pablo and I did our usual run around the Alster on Sunday, and it felt tougher than normal. It seems my body needs a little time to adjust to the warmer temperatures. But I’m not complaining. I love hot weather. Summer is the best, and I can’t wait for it to arrive for real. As I write this, though, it’s back to being cold, rainy, and windy.

Drawing the Line Between Sharing and Privacy

A thought that’s been bouncing around in the back of my mind ever since I started my daily comic journal is how to handle my need for privacy. Do I mention my girlfriend? Is it okay to show my friends’ children? Do I want people to know that I spent part of a certain day in a park?

I still haven’t found answers to those questions.
