In Which a Train of Thought is Kept Longer than it usually is... A short comment on the Nature of Work as well

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this present post! Tell me, how are you? How is the weather? For me, it is the coldest it has been in a year or so. 21 Celsius, and I must say, I love it. I want to enjoy every minute of it, it will likely not be as cold anytime soon. And I am okay, though again, a lot of mental turbulence due to specially loneliness. I am affected by trauma also, and I really prefer not to use such word, it risks raising the level of hyperbole, and devaluing the rest, but I have no other word for it, it is trauma, and it exhausts me, it is like a pike in my brain, I hate it, it hurts physically. Of course, when I write such vulnerable line, I risk attracting some bad thought by someone, that desires to analyze my every move. I don't like that. Instead, this is just about some sad events over the course of high school and hints of it after, with some bad interactions on social media. This is not to invite scrutiny over my ideals, they are my own in spite of the ...

In Which we Wrap up February, the longest short month

Good morning, dear reader of this post, my friend! Happy almost Friday!! How are you, today? How are things? As for me, I am okay, and the day is going... so far, not too bad. I played a game called Old World, I believe I mentioned this one here, a long time ago, at this point. It has a new DLC, that I hope to try it out. I also did some Civ 6, because why not... for continuation, I hope I can play Anno 1404, maybe. Definitely something other than the treacherous Europa Universalis 4. I think the dollhouse will come with a new DLC today, but I decided to uninstall the game, as the new "feature" of the game I considered egregious. That feature may appear small - it is just a shopping car placed on the UI menu - but it speaks volumes over where the company is... I think adding ads, which is precisely what this is, to a game that you paid for, that is pretty shocking. I am aware Sims 4 is for free now, but for most of its cycle it was not. I hate the controversies and the manufactured drama around the dollhouse, so I simply deleted it from the machine, Sims 3 is far superior anyway, even if it also has some ad placement in the game. 

We are reaching the end of the short but long month of February! How was your set of 29 days? For me, it was better than January, thank God. As January was depressingly uninteresting, February had more going for it, such as the beginning of the course of History I am doing! Some new potential friendships, continuation to ones I made in January, such as dear Evan. Progress on reading as well, I finished the book on Maria Theresa. I also started a new book, that was suggested by a colleague on the history course group. I may write more on this one when I proceed on it. I worked on 11 drawings on those 28 days, may work on another one today, the 29th and last... Memory is not the most accurate way of telling how the month actually was, but since I am not particularly in a good mood right now, neither in a bad mood, more of a neutral sort, I can say with more fairness how it went.

To wrap it up today's post, what would be my plans for March? It will be the Easter month, and I don't have many plans for it. I just hope it is lesser hot and abrasive than the previous two miserable months we had, miserable on matter of weather and solar incidence. I hope to have motivation to draw, enthusiasm to game. I hope I can have good events, and more than enough money to pay bills... time and energy and desire to read, also. I want a haircut, as well. I will see if I can arrange this tomorrow, March the 1st. I also hope I can sleep well, and drink less coffee... and may I can chat with dear friends such as Johannes and Evan and Charles and Mr. Gottfried... I can only hope.

With that, a paragraph for the end of February, and one for March desires and hopes, I trust it is time to end today's publication. When should I be back here? I truly hope around Sunday, less likely Saturday... until then, I see you real soon, and wish you the best!
