In Which the Blog reach 950 posts! A lovely Holiday Season approaches!

Good morning, my dear friend, and I wish you a happy Wednesday! How are you, this fine hour? As for me, I am okay, just waking up, really. The weather here is one of quiet transition, to spring. I can still use thicker blankets, but the days are longer, and the sun is more bright. Not exactly a good thing, I don't like summer, that is approaching. The only saving grace is to have Christmas season also upon us, the season of 2026! And all the memories of happy summer vacations, with the christmas trees and the great deal of lovely santas around it. Grandma used to go all in for the decor. How I miss it... I pray I can emulate it, when I can. Today, grandma is 82 years old, she is aging, as it rarely can be helped. She is tired, and she lives in an apartment nowadays, as such, she does not do the Christmas stuff as vigorously as some years before, alas.  There is no such thing as forsaking the long holiday tradition just because "times changed", whatever that means. No. Jus...

In which the author IS OFFICIALLY ON VACATION and out of ideas for today

Hello everyone! Today is a beautiful day, and why is that, since it also happens to be a Monday*? Well... TODAY IS MY FIRST DAY ON VACATION!!! YESSS!!! FINALLY!!!! I know, I was techinically on vacation since last Friday, as I told you, BUT I still had a class today, and I went to take the last test of the semester.
I would be oficially totally relaxed and enjoying the rainy days of June (not so rainy so far for some reason, but I'm hopeful!) since last week, but unfortunately I couldn't get the necessary pontuation for me to pass in Technical Drawing III, one of the subjects of my course, so I had to take another test, so I could replace my worst grade and get the necessary pontuation to be approved in the discipline, the alternative would be me flunking in the discipline. If that happened, I'd have to do the whole thing again at my earliest opportunity, aka not a happy ending. But here's to the happy ending: I GOT 8 OUT OF 10 IN THIS TEST, SO I'M APPROVED! I MANAGED TO SURVIVE TECHNICAL DRAWING AFTER ALL! This is something that made me really relieved and happy!
And here we are, the dreamy days of vacation are here, to stay until next month! I'll do my best to keep my schedule that I mentioned earlier: a post on monday, wednesday, and Saturday! I'm thinking about making Friday the "song of the week" day, though... Anyway, the bad news is I'm totally out of ideas on what to post today, so here we have me just having a monologue on my small success. To be fair, I'd have done something else, but the idea I had in mind was a post on my issues with writing, not the best way to start a vacation, so let's have this one postponed, shall we? BUT, since we're here, let me show something to you guys, to say this post went to somewhere!
This is a small sketch I made a month ago, but only managed to finish it yesterday! Sometimes it can be a really slow process to draw something. And I decided to do something risky, which is use color pencils for the sky, instead of the pastels I've been using since I learned how to use them on April. I thought it would be a disaster but I think in the end things went A-okay! And that's it for today! I'll do more posts on drawing and on drawing materials soon if I can, though I'm not a professional, anyway I'm really glad to have you here! See you soon!

*Important to say, don't have Monday as your enemy! Start the week with the best mindset you can, something I try to do. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don't, but things are fine! Also, usually for me Tuesdays are worse than Mondays, but anyway, life is beautiful!
