In Which Gardening Will Not Redeem Diocletian

Good morning, my friend! I am fighting against the desire to sleep, as I do want to write a post today. My eyes are so heavy, my muscles are all failing, it is like I am going to explode in exhaustion. And yet, maybe it isn't sleep, it could be anemia in any case, I hope you are in a healthier position than me, today? Of course, do let me know. And also, let me know how is the weather? Here it is one day of mild winter, which is so much appreciated. Fun how just being some centimeters in a different direction, concerning the planets, can make a difference! Here, it means the difference between a scorching day, and a more mild one. There could be influence of the ocean currents as well, but anyway, I would love to jump to today's theme, that motivated me to write. If you allow me, let is jump to it! As I mentioned anemia, let us turn to gardening, or more specifically, to cabbages and lettuces. I saw a post today that pointed that Emperor Diocletian abdicated the throne to go ta...

In which we say Farewell to January, month of unquiet stability

Hello, my friend! First of all, I want to wish you a good morning, and a happy Sunday! How are you today? As for me, I am back home after spending some days at my grandma’s! Writing once again through the phone, just to make my resting time more productive. I was sat in my chair, playing games, and decided that I needed some time to rest my back, so here I am, back in bed! When I return to the workstation, maybe I’ll do a drawing, though I am not sure. 
January was a long month for me, each week felt like a month of its own. It was productive, as I read a lot, specially after getting the kindle, and I made some drawings, though more than once I ended up not drawing instead. What I didn’t draw, I read. One thing does not negate the other, but anyway. I went to the dentist, and put a provisory tooth in the place of the hole it was there since the accident, so that is indeed good! On the terms of getting my budget less of a mess, I failed so far, but there is always the next month to make things in a lesser sorry state, and I hope I may do it. I pray that the shoes I got this month may arrive soon (and they did!) and that they may be of good quality (they seem pretty solid to me). Otherwise I’ll be very angry of having spent the money on them. 
I will admit, there is a lot in my head I’d love to write about, that is not always the case, but for this Sunday, very much true. The reason I don’t start talking at once about what is on my head, is that this post is dedicated to January end balance! I don’t want to talk about the book I’m reading just yet, or the expectations for February at this point. But also, what else is there to say about January, as it was a month of weird stability. That I recall, at the moment, besides some conflicts with mom, money issues, people telling me I’ll drop dead because I’m too fat… those are given. Nothing out of the ordinary, good or bad. It is kinda sad, even, reason why I love videogames, they bring so much flavor to a life that can be bland at times. And the same is true with drawing, music, and books. I really hope I can save the other subjects I have in my head for another post, or number of posts, though I can’t be sure if I’ll still will be in the mood to write about it when I return.


Some lovely macarons to wrap up January and also today's post! Found those on Pinterest!
So, I started writing the post yesterday, but I'm wrapping it up today, at the 30th! I should be back on the 1st of February to write a bit more on what to expect for the month and so on... Hopefully it will be a nice month, with good mild weather, we shall see... maybe I could journal a bit more... It is good to see your thoughts in front of you. Wish you the best, see you again real real real real soon! Preferably on the 1st of February!
