In Which the Divagation Store reaches the 900 posts Milestone! Reflection on Why...

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this present post! How are you today, this new week? It should be the last one for February, quite soothing that it will end on a Sunday as well, given it started on a Sunday, too! As for me, I did sleep quite a bit yesterday, but I cannot complain of not being a productive day, given I finished reading the biography of Madame de Pompadour, written by Nancy Mitford. Quite a good one, and in fact, I would say is a great one! What a remarkable lady she was, the great patronesse of Rococo, though she sensed a move in France towards a more neoclassical direction, and overall set the sails on the direction of the style of the next era, the one called Louis XVI style, though in truth it was the queen Marie Antoinette who truly set the tone. I like this topic, and I love her majesty. Though the late rococo she preferred was hinted with an antique tint, it was not the more sober neoclassical of the 1790's and the Napoleonic era.

In Which I still wait for my desk to arrive!

Hello everyone! Good morning, happy Friday! How are you today? How are things? As you know, I wish you the best! How is the weather? Is it the height of Winter for you, the height of Summer? It is Summer for me, and it sucks, I miss the cold weather, I wish my air conditioner was working as well, it is not. I keep on having those weird dreams, I suppose that'ss normal, though, you sleep, you have dreams, and odds are they'll be weird. Speaking of dreams, I miss drawing... I miss it indeed, and I'm still waiting for my desk, can you believe it? Some moments seem like they would be the last ones of me waiting, but the wait dragged and dragged... and while I wait, no drawings I can work on my current one, which sucks indeed. Anyway, one step at a time, that's all I can do. I have some plans for this year, but they seem to be too complicated to come to reality. I want a new iPhone, a new chair because the one I'm currently using sucks a lot, a proper chair, one that doesn't give me any seating issues. I wonder what causes those sitting issues, anyway. I also would love an iPad and an Apple pencil for drawing digitally, it would be ideal... but like I said, it seems like it will be a while before I can grab those stuff I want, very discouraging, as I have a lot of spenses and they don't seem to be diminishing anyhow...

January is coming to a close, isn't it? It was an okay month overall, a very nice chill way of starting 2022! I hope things may keep on being this promising, somehow. I'll return to this when I come with my farewell January post! I wonder if I should also do a Welcome February one, as February is really a short month. It's fun, anyway, how sometimes I manage to get what is in my head with just a few sentences, I already don't know precisely what to write here, that I won't mention on my Farewell January one. Don't even know what picture, if any, to post here with this one.

Well, I found just the right one! And with that, I'm gonna wrap up this one! But I should be back real soon with some more stuff! In the next three or four days I should come with that Farewell January post I advertised, and so on! See you then, real soon!!
