In Which my Grandpa used to Write and to Research

Good morning, kind sir and amicable lady, friendly readers of this present publication! Do tell me how are you all doing, and I am happy to see you! As for me, I am tired, and had a week of busy moments that left me tired, and some lonesome times as well. I was going to write some days before, but I was on such horrible mood that I could not help but to lament over the unfortunate circumstance that was ailing me. Today, though tired, I am okay. Waking up from a reasonable night of sleep. I think my mood was mostly restored thanks to the medicines I take for the humors. It is sad I rely on them, but otherwise I am subjected to mood turbulence, and I weep and get a massive headache as result. I thought that it was before causes by my face contortion when I weep, but now I am more inclined to believe it is because I don't breathe well when weeping. Such difficulty can cause me to be a bit out of sorts and thus being with a head pain. Lack of oxigen perhaps. When I think about a book i...

In Which we have a Sock Review! My "Cat Trying to Catch the Fish" sock by the brand SockItToMe!

Good morning, reader of this post, my friend! Happy Saturday! How are you today? How have you been? I wish you the best, and hope the last week of July went smoothly! As for me, it wasn't productive, not really, and I had to save pennies as well, which is okay. Apart from that, college is about to begin, and the doubts are here yet again, not ideal... I have to, next week, see what I should do to get rid of as many disciplines as possible, and so on... but anyway, how is the weather? Here, the weather is rainy and fresh, the other day we had, at midday, the time usually it's hotter, 26 Celsius, which is 78,8 Fahrenheit! Where I live, that's a weather worthy of socks and sweaters! Today I had some stuff in mind to chat about, such as my "drawing stagnation", but I'd like to focus on a pair of socks I have! August 2018 - so 4 years ago, influenced by Zach, that was really into socks, he has a whole collection of those and so on, which is something that inspired my story of the adventure of Mr. D'Onofrio. I haven't paid attention to socks much before, but he really inspired me to start valuing them! So I built a small collection for myself, that I even posted some pictures before - I decided to purchase some american socks by the company SockItToMe. I went on their website and browsed for the models and got these ones!
This is a picture of the socks, lovely mint ocean blue! It was taken this Wednesday, I believe!
How would I rate them, four years later? Well, I think their colors survived well the time, they are very much intact, still comfortable! And speaking of comfortable, I guess next time, when I can, I'll get shorter ones, because long ones are a bit of a challenge to wear sometimes, like, they really only suit me on winter, much, even if I end up using it on every ocasion I can! They are overall comfortable, even if they're too long and I have hairy legs mand feet, unfortunately, so it hurts sometimes, specially when I have them for a long time. My point is, everything has its problems, but those socks are comfortable, durable and their quality (at least the ones I have) have prove to be a good one! I'd give them a 4,5 out of 5! I think that's a reasonable approach to them. I don't recommend things lightly, but socks from this brand I would recommend. Now, if you live abroad, may be difficult to get them, because in Brazil there is the dollar/Real conversion, the aduana costs as well, that are high, please consider all the logistics and the costs. But well, I did something crazy for my 20th birthday and I don't regret it!
And before I forget, here's the link for their website!
I think this is a good point to wrap it up! Thank you Zach for encouraging me to do this, and may I have more opportunities to write about socks and other pieces of clothing! Cheers! Hope your weekend may be great, again, I wish you the best! And I see you real real soon, for the wrap up of July!
