In Which Coffee Coffee Returns, and a snippet into the Videogame Renaissance

Good afternoon and happy Sunday, my friend, reader of this post! How are you? How is the weather? As on my end, the weather is pleasant, as it has been the praxis in the past weeks, never above 28 celsius, thank Goodness! Ah, just two months ago, it seemed like summer was never to end, and yet, it did, and precious little winter time should be cherished in the tropical area! And, as for myself, I am okay! In good spirits overall. Tomorrow is the big release of Victoria 3's first Expansion DLC, I am very excited for it. Yesterday was also a pleasant day, I played Anno 1800 and Sims 3, and what's more, as we are at the eve of two months since the big surgery, I was allowed to have caffeine again, much to my relief! I also finished a drawing, and scanned it, even if the process was a misadventure. Today, I finally sat down to play Imperium Romanum, and I enjoyed it! In fact, I played for almost two hours in just one sitting, already planning for more time with it. I also played so

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!
