In Which we return to SimCity 2013, victim of blind spots...

Good afternoon, my friend, reader of this post! Happy Tuesday, how are you? How have the first week of 2025 treated you? An auspicious start, so I hope! As for me, I am okay... at moments, because I have been trying some different things on my games and computer, I feel in the dark, walking in circles with no purporse and so I become frustrated. The hobby has also caused me to be less mentally available for drawing or writing, at least over the past few days, which is also a source for dismay. In retrospect, though, it's not all bad. I think my first drawing of 2025, the cherry tree, tradition since 2022, looked quite charming, and I trust I will do some more at some point real soon, there is no reason for any stress I'd say, even if I stress all the same. The year caused me to become surprised with its walking, because on a chain of events that started with SimCity 4, released 2003, I ended up returning to the infamous title SimCity 2013, famous for ending SimCity as a franchi...

In Which I make plans for the Christmas Day and consider an afternoon at the beach?

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this post! Happy Friday! How are you today, now that we are so close to the very height of the christmas season of 2024? As for me, I am pretty okay, yesterday I went with mom to the mall to purchase some new clothes, and I liked it a lot. It was as fun as I remember, and I have not been out to the mall in almost a whole year. It was also at the right time, because of the beautiful christmas decoration! And indeed, this year they did a very good job and were quite creative! I took plenty of pictures, and I could not be happier on doing this! A tradition of mine to go taking pictures of everything christmas related, as to register the wonderful time. 

Speaking of which, I am loosely with a plan on going to the house of grandma for the christmas, or at least for a visit, I am not sure if I'd like to stay for more than a day because I get homesick. One thing is grandma living relatively nearby, other entirely different is living in a neighborhood 30 minutes away, add 1 hour to it if there is excessive car traffic. I do have the tradition to spend at least a day with her on the season, there is that. Also, gives me opportunity to take more pictures of christmas decoration! We will see how it goes...

After a hectic but enjoyable Thursday, today I am just resting... mom invited me to go to the beach with my aunt and cousin at the afternoon. I am considering if I should go with them! In one hand, I haven't been to the beach in a while, and not with mom and aunt... on other, I do like to be by myself at the house, for some reason I am still to decipher. We shall see. I miss building sandcastles, if the opportunity arises I could do some. Again, we will see how it goes. 

Took this picture yesterday at the mall, so beautiful was the decoration there!



In any case, I do love December, beautiful month of Christmas, even if it's celebrated in summer where I live, alas. I love it because it is so carefree, a time for vacation and relief, really. It has been such a hard year on me, with the surgery, and I am happy to rest and take the good things that come my way as I can. As we approach the end of another blog entry, I wonder how many more I will write in 2024! I am not sure if I will do a retrospective, because the first half of the year was particularly harsh and also a blur in my mind. I can only perhaps wrap up December when it's time, and open the double doors of the horizon to January, soon afterwards! One thing remains as the same as it was the beginning of this year, and the beginning of every year since 2018: I do hope I don't bring the blog to an end. I like to write, it is enjoyable and I deem it as a healthy and productive habit. Again, I should proceed dividing the time in small pieces as I can, as to not feel like I need to turn this into the project of my life, as if I had the energy for such thing. What else is there to be said? Time to wrap today's entry! Of course, do not distress, I should return soon, I hope I do a blog on Christmas Eve and Christmas day, even if I won't force it. Sometimes we can rest a bit more as well, I don't see a problem on this basis. Crazy it is the last week of 2024, basically! Well, I wish you the best, as always, and I hope you may keep on having a beautiful season!
