In Which One Begins 2026 Business as Usual: Ora et Labora on the Unknown

As for me, the beginning of 2026 was one where I slept through most of it, or at least did my try on napping, because the noise was great. I spent the firework moments at my grandma's apartment, but we did not see much of each other during that moment, she went downstairs for a small gathering with her neighbors, and the neighbors had an appaling taste in background music.

Like a sand castle, it was melt

Like a sandcastle it felt
It fell
