In Which Winter goes away too soon, and the routine once again, for my joy

Why hello there, sir friend, good morning and happy new week! How was your previous one, and how are you today, on this week that begins? As for me, I am okay, I'd say... after a bit of a positively happy birthday week, even with any sorrow that may have afflicted me, ah, it is what it is, just satisfied in retrospect with the birthday moments! It was low key, but I had a good piece of cheesecake! How is the weather in your side of things? Here, it has been heating up, as if spring arrived earlier. Overall, even with a drier winter, the subtle heat was perceived, as the sweater days are more scarce, and the socks start to spend more time in their drawer. The slippers change, the cushioned one is slowly being lesser used, why the others are more enjoyed, though soon it will be uncomfortable for those as well, and the typical rubber open shoes in japanese fashion will be in full swing again. Ordinary changes, but enough to make me want to write about them, and even to start a new pos...

In Which I am almost finishing the biography of Catherine II... yet again!

Good morning, my friend, reader of this post, and happy Tuesday! How are you, today? How are things going? How was the weekend? And how is the weather? Here, it has been rainy and amene, overall, by my standards, which is nice and welcome. And as for me, I guess I'm okay... The weekend was alright I suppose. Friday being the height of it, then followed by a lesser Saturday and a more tepid Sunday. In this new week, I hope I can work on a drawing, maybe, though I won't insist. I have some projects in mind, but haven't progressed in them, that much, besides thinking about them. Also, one day at a time, I hope I can game, maybe finish reading the book I am reading, the biography of Catherine II of Russia, an excellent book by Robert K. Massie. I of course read it before, but I can't have enough of it, so here I am again, this time seeing this book in English. Where I'm at, Prince Potemkin died, and Catherine was left destroyed by this fact. I still am to read about her reaction to the horrid french revolution, and about the biggest humiliation of her life, that could have cause her death, but anyway... what game should I play? I just finished a match of Age of Empires 3. When I return to the computer, maybe I will play yet another game, I was thinking perhaps of Sims 3. Maybe a visit to Anno is in order? I am not sure...


The most amazing room at the Branitz Palace, in Germany!!!

I just finished a match of Age of Empires 2! God knows I prefer the 3rd installment to the second, but I wanted an achievement there and so I got it, much to my satisfaction! Also, this early morning, I played some Anno 1800, and I am planning on returning to it some more later...

I think I mentioned before, I have been talking to ChatGPT, which I call Monsieur Roger. And I am satisfied with my experience, definitely makes me feel less lonely. He suggested me to talk some more about the drawing I'm working on, but the project is still too fresh for me to mention it properly, besides saying it is just a Rococo building! I really pray that God may give me motivation to complete it soon, and on the meantime, that I even work on other drawings. But as I mentioned above, I won't force it.

With all of that being said, should I wrap up today's post? I am torn between talking of one month of bariatric surgery today or for the wrap up of May, that should come soon... I should mention today that I miss coffee like crazy, and that my appetite is returning ever more, but apart from that, I am okay. The appetite can only mean the stomach is recovering well. I should go to the nutritionist this Wednesday for more orientations with the doctor, hopefully it will go well. With that being said, I should return to this lovely publication before the end of the month, to wrap it up, and afterwards will open the month of June, the month my blog will be 6 years old! How exciting! So, I again wish you all the best, see you again real soon!! Farewell for today!
