Confused on what a Now page is?

My son is starting to be mobile! It's amazing. Seeing him grow and progress the last 8 months has been the greatest joy I've ever felt. At times, I feel like im going crazy and need 5 minutes to myself, but then 6 minutes into his naps, I find myself missing my little buddy.
Kayak and I are getting back into the swing of things now that our son is somewhat on a schedule. We, like all parents, would prefer that our kid sleeps later than 4 am, but I 'm happy he isn't waking up a bunch anymore.
I recently attended Woodworking in America and had a blast meeting different vendors, and the teams from Fine Woodworking and Woodsmith
Documenting my projects has become somewhat of a habit on Instagram , my complaints with that platform and the social internet aside, it 's been fun. Through that and the Fine Woodworking Discord channel, I've learned a lot of techniques and met many interesting people.
A month (maybe three) ago, I cut down some 2x4 materials into small box parts. The original idea was to make pen boxes. After realizing just how much of a pain it would be to hand cut miters perfectly for 20 boxes, I decided that I'd instead use the parts as a way to experiment with design. I've done 6 so far. Three are carved, and three boxes are painted and covered with washi paper. It's been a great way to try new ways of box fabrication. My favorite so far is a red and black one that I've been storing my cheap carving tools in.
My notebooks are getting more and more full, and I've switch from my beloved Kokuyo Sketchbooks to whatever is cheap. I am trying to diligently do Morning Pages, or Daily Pages as I call them. If i get to it everyday I was filling up a $5 notebook every 5 days which is just to expensive for my taste. I'm still using my nicer notebooks for my daily tasks/ quick thoughts, but my daily pages are going in cheap stuff.
After knocking down the desk/enclosure I made for my Ender 3 and Mars 4, I've started re setting them up to get printing again. They have been offline for 3 or so months, as I wanted to clean the enclosure, and lower them down to the floor to work along with my Atedai. I really need to give the resin printer some care, but it's like a whole things, so I've been procrastinating.
I've been in and out of the gym. Not really able to stay a consistent schedule, but I'm close to my goal weight! I've felt myself get weaker the last few months, and the mental benefits of working out are absolutely undeniable for me. I look to get back into that. It 's also allergy season, and my least favorite time of year. It hits me physically and the disappearance of summer seems to always sink me into a low mental point.
I’m currently employed at industrial distributor, and took over the role from someone who had worked at the company longer than I’ve been alive. There are many pain points but also plenty of opportunities for growth and challenge.
