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 I get New Old Games, Recovery from the Surgery, new Charging Cable, and Etc...

Good morning, my great friend, reader of this post! Happy Saturday! How are you, and how was your week as a whole? As for me, I am okay, recovering from that big surgery I talked about some moments before, on the blog. I downloaded some very old games into my computer! I got old Empire Earth and old Zoo Tycoon! But, when it comes to play them, I am overall very aprehensive, lethargic, on doing it, for reasons I struggle to comprehend. Maybe it is the fear of missing an important message online, maybe I am struck with option paralysis, due to the sheer amount of games I have on my disposal on my computer at this point... I think the option paralysis is the stronger contender this time, I am terrified of wasting my time doing a game I won't like in the end, that won't be remarkable. Anyway... apart from my concerns, I got a new charging cable today, finally is time to put my older one in the drawer of old electronics. It is nice, as I can charge my phone considerably faster now, and with more quality. And when it comes to my phone... since we are on the two year milestone of having this one, I start to think of maybe getting a new one... but would that be justified, and do I have money for such enterprise? I don't think so, on both ends. Neither is my phone obsolete yet, neither does it concern me at all. My iPhone 11 has been a blessing ever since I got it, never causing me concern. The only thing weighting against it is that the new models look more polished, but as I said, nothing to complain about. And no, I would not have money for such enterprise, either. Neither for a new iPhone, nor for an iPad... it is sad, but for now, it is what it is... maybe someday, when I am working, hopefully on something I enjoy, I will have money to finance a new one, but time will tell. Speaking of iPad, I am yet to return to drawing... as with the new old games, I guess this is due to option paralysis, fear of messing up... stagnation. Those should not be my concerns on a hobby, and yet, they come and they ravage my joy.



I miss my coffee time more than anything, it is causing my sleep schedule to become quite chaotic. I sleep in the days because I am that exhausted, and when it comes to the evening I am awake, but burn out, so can't do anything productive either. Coffee is on the horizon for me, but more close to my grasp is the end of the liquid diet, and beginning of the mixed one! Concerning the liquid, so far I can safely say I SURVIVED! It was a major challenge and frustration, but I am almost at the end of this step, ready for another one. As usual, I dream of croissants, cheese and coffee, sometimes even soda pop comes to mind...

Again, on the realm of nice things to come: EU4 DLC "Winds of Change" is set to be released next week, on Thursday! I can't wait to return to Europa! It will be excellent. Sadly the Victoria 3 new DLC will have to wait further, going to be released next month instead. But that is okay, I suppose it is better to delay the product and do the finishing touches, than releasing it prematurely and risking breaking the game and the trust of us fans into the product.

I want to get over my option paralisis and lethargy when it comes to the new old games and drawing. But procrastination is not necessarily an enemy, not all the time, it exists for us to be mindful of where we spend our time with. What else is there to be said?

Before we go, I also have some extra news: I think the surgery is doing its work, and I am losing weight!! I am perceiving myself to be less chubby at this point, and my clothes to fit me better. Soon I should see if I can try some old ones as well, to see if I can start to expect using them once again. I cannot say for sure of course, but it is looking promising! And, with that, I'd like to wrap up today's post with a Thank you for being here, and to wish you the best for next week! I am quite sleepy, so it is one reason for me to start this wrap up, but also because I think I already wrote enough for today! When to expect to see me again? Hopefully soon, around next week, before the weekend I hope! Until then, keep on going and on being excellent to one another! See you again real soon.
