In Which December flies in the sky with Santa Claus and the Reindeers!

Hello, my friend, reader of this present post, maybe past ones as well, perhaps future ones too. How are you, this new week? Another one for the height of the most beautiful season! How is the christmas going? For me, it is quite tranquil, I don't want to lament much. I do have some bad moments, for example, as I mentioned on the other post, when Sims 3 broke on me, and took me a week to figure out what was causing such issues. I have great news, concerning that! I figured it out: it was OneDrive! I understand better why so many have Windows 11 fatigue, though I resist to share of the sentiment. It did bother me that I was facing the OneDrive overreach issues, but once they were solved, I could resume my Sims 3 shenanigans. Of course, as I mentioned before, I was even committed to take a break from the game. Though such commitment is not necessary, nor justifiable anymore, neither is respectful towards all my hard work on figuring out the issues, an era ended with Sims 3, but anoth...

In Which I talk about my new Succulent, Plants, Stories...

Good morning to you, reader of this post, and happy Wednesday! Wish you the best! How are you? How are things going? A lot can happen in a couple dozen hours, that is for sure! I was talking about my new plant yesterday, if I'm not mistaken, as I usually don't read my posts twice, for a number of reasons, like, I don't wanna be overly critical of my words, it's just an improv thing, after all. And I don't feel like revisiting my own posts, either, it's that thing, I rarely read the same book twice. What's the point of going through a story over and over again? Sometimes I do some read agains, like on my more dedicated stories, such as "Mr. D'Onofrio and his 700 socks" or the "Over the Garden Wall" Fanfic. I want to return to the story realm, but I also don't want to overthink it. Takes a while to develop a plot, when it comes at all, even. Some of my smaller works are just invented-history-writing, which I think it's cool, but not properly a story. I also like to write things based on dreams and I've done it before, and some of those I really enjoy. Maybe I should write about Mr. A trying to get to point B, but there is always something on the way, such as that Lupin III episode, where he wants to get to a special statue, but there are a lot of obstacles on the way, being vague because if I go too much into details I could spoil anything. I know is like a 40-something-year show, but still. So, back to plants, I took a more decent picture of the plant, and I'd like to share it with you all! Let's jump to it, shall we?


Quite lovely, isn't it? It is called "the Bear Paw", scientifically called "Cotyledon tomentosa". It takes a while to develop, and it doesn't require much water at all, in fact, I plan on watering it just next month or so, around July 10th? Yea, something of the sort. I don't like keeping my plants without water for too long, BUT succulents, they are desert plants, so they don't need much water, in fact, they drown if they receive too much of it! Their roots become putrid, and the whole thing perish. I learnt that the hard way, losing many of my favorites over the years... But now, I'm getting better at taking care of them, you just gotta give them "water space" so to speak. I want to go to the next level and grow a Conifer, at some point, but those are harder, I believe they require daily care with water, that is something that can be tricky for many, myself included. Speaking of growing, I think I got myself way more comfortable with writing than I was before, when starting to write for the blog. My posts used to be smaller, now I need to stop myself from writing or else the thing goes forever, that's kind of a development, I believe, I'll take it like that, at least. I'm also happy I wrote a post today! This June is being fairly productive, I'd say, so yay, that's a good way to celebrate my 4 years of blogging! And speaking of which, I hope I can do something else to celebrate such moment, a stream, perhaps. At some point I wanna do it. Could be today, but I really don't wanna force myself. Either way, I should get going now, thank you, dear reader, for being around, you are a wonderful friend! See you again real real soon! Hopefully way before the end of the month. I plan on having at least one or two posts before the 30th, when I'll have the wrap up of June. which will count for 11-13 posts this month, quite the production, don't you think? And quality stuff as well! Anyway, have a wonderful Wednesday, see you real soon!
