In Which we Wrap up February and I think of my upcoming appointments with the doctors...

Good morning, friend! Happy Saturday! The last week of February went by quite fast, and here it is, the end of such month, one to set the tone for 2026, or at least parts of it. I am happy to have you here today in the divagation store and society. How are you? As for me, I am okay, it is that moment of the month when food misses the fridge, and the gas misses the stove, it means it is almost time for more grocery shopping, to be done ideally as soon as possible, with the first day of March, or so. As for the month, I can say with some degree of fulfillment that at least it was a productive one. I have worked on 7 drawings in total, which is quite above average concerning this area. I did write about the same quantity on the blog as well, and I did reach around 900 entries, which I am so happy to have done it.  The weather has become decidedly hotter, given February is the apex of summer on that regard. I am dreaming of the rains that will come at some point, but for now I just hop...

In Which I wait for my Birthday and the Habsburg Season

Hello my dear friend and reader of this post! Happy Wednesday, and good afternoon! How are you, and how has the week been so far? As for me, I am okay, overall, and the week has been okay as well, I trust! The weather still is wintery, much to my rejoicement, though it hasn't rained nuch the past few days. Tuesday I went to pilates and mom decided to do a class with me and my grandma, which was very interesting! I personally, also, cannot believe my birthday is so close! August 12 I will be turning 26, which is another milestone, I think! Good things happened on the birthday, such as receiving enough money to get rid of crippling payments. Now, the challenge is to keep it that way. Unfortunately self control has been hard, once again. I did not spend as much as in June, not nearly, nor have I any intention of having much expenditures anyway. That being said, I did purchases as birthday gifts: a new headphone of better quality, for example, and new slippers to use at home. I also got two new books I want to read in due time. When I mentioned self control, it is based on my most recent purchase, which was an audiobook. It was expensive, but the issue that causes me more pain is that when I found out I could not refund it, I also discovered I can't listen to it that easily, given it is on another media distribution region. Such ridiculous nonsense, really. To be fair, I think I still could listen to it, but first I must do some malabarism. Anyway... you take one step at a time, and I still am not in a bad situation anyway. Overall, just frustrated I spent the extra money... I am already listening to another audiobook, and as for my reading of the month, I settled with the book on the Habsburg dynasty. The audiobook is also on the Habsburgs. Just a Habsburg season as a whole!



And I have some good news! I went to the dietitian and I am happy to report I keep losing weight!! Thanks to the surgery and doctor following, I already lost close to 30kg! I am almost back to normal weight, and on the house I was in 2020. I really believe the news are reason to rejoicing! A big victory! 

As for birthday plans, I just want a pizza, and I pray and hope I can talk to dear Johannes, my best friend and favorite person in the world! Apart from that, I do have plans of visiting grandma, but main issue with those plans are the fact my packages are not here yet, and I eagerly wait for them, as a whole. As the traumatic 2023 birthday passed, this one should go more tranquil. On another note, I have been playing a new game, called Railway Empire 2, which is quite engaging, but also unforgivable. Missing one assignment meant I had to redo this whole chapter. I hope now, with the lesson learnt, I can win this time, and we'll see if I'll move to the other chapter of the campaign.

Classes returned and I am trying to keep up with it, even if this one is a disjointed discipline. I suppose it was rearranged halfway through. Concerning college, I trust I have not much else to say, it is going fine, overall.

Anyway... what else is there to be said? I think I summed up everything I desired for today, and I am happy I could write on the blog in the first place! I hope I can return for my birthday post around the 11th or the 12th. If anything, I will do one telling how the day went. I could write earlier than that, but I won't promise this, because I may as well be out of things to say. Even today, this is more of a journal post, one of many. Again, thank you so much for being here, and I wish you the best! And I see you again real real soon!!!
