Quote of the moment Vol.2

In Which We Recall the good moments of some Happy Years

Good evening, my friend, reader of this present post! How are you, this December? How is the weather? I do wish you beautiful moments of Christmas! God bless you. As for me, I am... okay. It has been a chaotic end of year for a chaotic year. But I am okay, happy it is Christmas, one should try and do life business as usual. I still have my brain and some free time. Not much else.  Good news is that this month, on the drawing front, has been more productive than November, and more drawings are on their way, I hope! Bad news is that not all places thrived, given I have not written as much as I would like. I cannot say this changes now, but I can write for today. I hope, coming 2026, that we can keep on writing, drawing, reading, playing the games we appreciate. At moments I feel exhausted, but for now, it is what it is.  Do you have a particularly good christmas memory that you cherish? Or some element? I myself have plenty of good memories, not an entire cohesive day to point t...

In Which I journal a bit further! Life stuff and writing for amusement and work

Good evening/morning, my friend, reader of this post, and happy Sunday! How are you, today? How was Saturday? As for me, I am okay, though slightly concerned with my sleep pattern... I woke up too soon today, and have done so in a while this year, now. Maybe I should get a sleeping pill more regularly, as I clearly have a problem of pattern. I hope it can be arranged. Not right now, but this Sunday evening, definitely. Still on my health, I am so done being fat, I hate it, I feel terrible, all the time, I feel heavy, and I wish I could lose weight. I have been indeed moving towards the surgery to reduce my stomach. It has been hard to conceive losing weight otherwise. It is frustrating. 

Well, on a more positive note: I found an application for Safari, that enables me to write on Blogger on dark mode! This is a dream come true! It is called Dark Reader. It seems pretty nice so far, and in depth, even! My eyes say "thank you ever so much", as they should. 


Christmas decorations are coming through splendidly at my grandma's, much to my happiness! I love Christmas, as you know, and I already took many pictures of the decorations of the season! And more to come! It has been a positive season so far, apart from issues that we all have, and I hope it may keep on being a good to remember season. May it be better than the one of 2022, when I was without a tooth...

Concerning videogames, I played some Age of Empires 3 this morning, and got absolutely obliterated by the Hard AI. My allies were useless, and got overwhelmed by the Swedes and the Ottomans. There is a huge gap between levels in that game. When I return to my work desk, I wonder what I will do, as I also have other preoccupations to attend to, but I also want to play this and other games. This morning, I have been thinking specially of Anno 1800 and Victoria 3, in addition to Age of Empires 3. Speaking of games, I talked about good old Empire Earth 2 yesterday with my friend Charles! On retrospect, one of the most amazing of the RTS genre, one that I go as far as saying I should revisit, even if it's old and battered...

I have some drawings I should work on. I keep on making some plans and never following them, when it comes to doodling. I also have the work I'm doing for the architecture office to do. I want to do some more research and write about it. There is still a lot to be done, though I think I did a good job also the last time I researched about this. Writing is enjoyable, I like this work I'm doing. I get sidetracked, but so far so good. 

This has been just a small journal sort of post, and another one I write on my phone, I really grew used to it, it is easier to edit a post on the computer, and easier to grasp the size of it, but in either case... I like journaling, I like stories, I like writing about some other things as well, this is quite a variety blog! I trust we are in a good point to wrap today's post up? Of course, I shall be back soon, so no worries! It will soon be the 30th of November, and as such, time for a month wrap up! One step at a time! Anyway, thank you for being here at the divagation store! And I see you again real soon! Like I usually say, wish you the best!
