In Which we return to SimCity 2013, victim of blind spots...

Good afternoon, my friend, reader of this post! Happy Tuesday, how are you? How have the first week of 2025 treated you? An auspicious start, so I hope! As for me, I am okay... at moments, because I have been trying some different things on my games and computer, I feel in the dark, walking in circles with no purporse and so I become frustrated. The hobby has also caused me to be less mentally available for drawing or writing, at least over the past few days, which is also a source for dismay. In retrospect, though, it's not all bad. I think my first drawing of 2025, the cherry tree, tradition since 2022, looked quite charming, and I trust I will do some more at some point real soon, there is no reason for any stress I'd say, even if I stress all the same. The year caused me to become surprised with its walking, because on a chain of events that started with SimCity 4, released 2003, I ended up returning to the infamous title SimCity 2013, famous for ending SimCity as a franchi...

In Which I dream with a Wintery Christmas

Good morning, my friend, reader of this post! Happy Wednesday! I don't know whether to rejoice or to lament for the imminent arrival of Christmas day, because once it is passed, this will mean the height of the season will be gone. And soon it will be the unchartered territory of 2024. That being said, today, I am in good spirits. I drank coffee with milk, as I keep finding out, there is no better way to drink coffee, at least the one I brew myself. I have my errands to attend to, which is mostly the craft of the new ebook I am doing with the architecture office. I desire to maybe play a game, though not exactly sure what to play, next. This day is at its beginning, and I wonder what friends I will be able to chat with today, if any. And I wonder where to have lunch and hope I have some energy and will strenght to, if desired, do something in the afternoon. 


Grandma's official living room decorated for christmas! Deck the halls with bags of holly and all the singing...
I wrote this all yesterday morning. Turns out, Tuesday was a rounding success! I could chat with dear friends, and what really made me rejoice was getting my first job payment! How amazing is that? I did talk briefly yesterday of the ebook I am developing with the office. That, alongside the money I received from dad, allowed me to do some christmas purchasing! Some new games for my Steam library, and my own keyboard! I won't have to rely now on my brother's hardware, which is a welcome development.
It has been slightly cloudy these summer days! I really appreciate the sun being less abrasive, though it is not winter. The day may be grey, but the heat is a summery one, the wind is hot, and the rays stronger. I will take the clouds to the open sky days, but I still dream with more fresh days, where I don't sweat so much.
This Wednesday, I arrived here at grandma's to celebrate the season. I would have come later, but getting a car ride to her place closer to the holiday can be very hard indeed. So I am here already. I like my grandmother´s house, bit I also like my own home, the apartment, because there, the wind is fresher and I have my own proper space. I like living with mom, even with the downsides, more than I like living with grandma. But that is tradition, you know, it is my personal tradition to come here at my grandma's to celebrate Christmas, here. It is a good tradition, and it is magical to be surrounded by so much Christmas cheer and objects, even if grandma can be grumpy. 
As I mentioned, I got a new keyboard! Those are the good news. Now, I appreciate the gear is compact, but it is taking me a while to get used to the typing in it. I keep pressing the wrong keys! What a bother. Ah, if only this was my major concern..
I really desire to write some more for Christmas, hopefully I will update this beloved publication on the eve, and on the 25th. I don't know what I will write, yet, which can be a problem, but I hope I can assemble a nice text, worthy of the season. As for this present post, I trust it is getting to the point of wrapping it up. I have plans of returning on the eve, but if I have the desire, I should return earlier with another post. Until then, I am always so happy and humbled to have you around! Wish you the best, season's greetings!
