Quote of the moment Vol.2

In Which December flies in the sky with Santa Claus and the Reindeers!

Hello, my friend, reader of this present post, maybe past ones as well, perhaps future ones too. How are you, this new week? Another one for the height of the most beautiful season! How is the christmas going? For me, it is quite tranquil, I don't want to lament much. I do have some bad moments, for example, as I mentioned on the other post, when Sims 3 broke on me, and took me a week to figure out what was causing such issues. I have great news, concerning that! I figured it out: it was OneDrive! I understand better why so many have Windows 11 fatigue, though I resist to share of the sentiment. It did bother me that I was facing the OneDrive overreach issues, but once they were solved, I could resume my Sims 3 shenanigans. Of course, as I mentioned before, I was even committed to take a break from the game. Though such commitment is not necessary, nor justifiable anymore, neither is respectful towards all my hard work on figuring out the issues, an era ended with Sims 3, but anoth...

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!
