In Which Balance on French History is Hard to Get Correctly

Good evening, my friend, dear reader of this present post! Happy Monday of a new week! The month of April 2026 reaches its final days, hopefully those will proceed nicely. How are you? Hopefully your werkend went well and with no incidents? Those can be disruptive and bothersome. My own set of days went okay overall. I did receive an important document this Friday, which was the results of my neuropsychological evaluation. As it turns out, I have an IQ above average! It caught me by surprise and I am so happy to see it! My own is at 110, and though this is not exactly what would be called "geniality" territory, that is quite functional and then some, therefore I am happy, on that end. The test flagged exactly what is going on in my head, the result is not entirely positive, and this is not that it can be fixed or cured, it is frustrating how that is not the case with brain issues and quirks, just mitigated and dealt with. I do not have ADHD, but I do have OCD, in a level high...

Sketch of the week! In which we talk about the snowy scene with the Christmas lights!

Hello everyone! Happy Wednesday to you, and good evening! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best, and hope you are having a good day! My day today was productive and calm at the same time, I'm on the process of watching the voice finals, which is always amazing to see, I'm making some sketches and slowly trying some new stuff, and my plants maybe will get new vases soon, because many of them are growing so much! My experience with my plants has been enriching so far! Some have struggled but are starting to come back to life now, a couple have died, but most of them are doing well! It's always complicated, of course, you have to make sure everything is doing well with them, but overall I think I'm doing fine with them! 
Something really adorable happened today! I was on a walk earlier today, and I found a kitten on my way. I petted the kitten, and the lovely creature followed me around for a long time, and she was being (it was a she!) really kind towards me, rubbing on my feet and my hands. I was a bit concerned about the kitten, since it was on the streets, but I'm happy to say the kitten is being taken care of! She has a nice place to sleep, food and water and most important of all, the kitten is neutered. She was a bit thin, but overall looking healthy and really sociable, so that's lovely! Anyway, I don't doubt the incredible ability of cats on being independent and thriving even living by themselves, but for a pet it's always nice to have a home!
I think I like pets a lot, I'm not a huge pet person, but I love cats and dogs, and I'd love to have a cat one day, when I have the chance to have one.
I'm so happy it's December and Christmas season, but how fast this month of December is passing! It makes me both happy and sad that December 24th-25th are so close! Because it's the height of the season, and after that it's gone for another year... Christmas oficially goes until January 5th, but still... And let's not talk about the next year now, still too early for that!
Okay, long text for our Sketch of the week post of today! Like I said, I made some experimentations on drawing and coloring recently, and I made this christmas drawing I'm about to show!


These are the winter trees and the snowstorm, and also the christmas lights on them! We have red and yellow! It's windy and cold, most people are at home, appreciating the snow, because snow is beautiful indeed, or at least I think so! It's crazy how seasons work, I can't experience that, where I live we only have wet summer and dry summer, I want to see snow and cold one day, or see how spring works, and stuff like that. I do love Christmas even without snow, it doesn't lose its magic for me, just seeing the decoration around, it's impossible not to love it. 
This drawing has my dry trees, my snowy ground that I'm always looking on how to improve, and my snowy sky with wind and snow, and something brand new: the Christmas lights! Without the ugly wires though, let's leave it for another one, and anyway, this is not real life, this is my drawing, and it doesn't have to be 100% like reality...
And this drawing I made on Christmas season is what we have for today! Thank you so much for being here and for reading this! You are the very best and you know it! Have a wonderful night and I see you on my next post! Yahoo! And happy December!
