In Which the Divagation Store reaches the 900 posts Milestone! Reflection on Why...

In which we talk about The Upside Down week!

Hello and good morning everyone! How are you and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope all is well with you! How is the weather where you are? I hope it is a good one, with clouds in the sky and the sun behind it, like a nice curtain! Winter keeps on going, but springtime will be here soon, the heat comes with it, I hope it doesn't get too hot, even if at some moments it is already too hot, anyway, the perks of living in a tropical region... This week has been a weird one and we are on Tuesday! Like, I didn't post on the blog yesterday, I am posting today instead, taking Wednesday to rest and then again posting on Thursday, so it goes! I totally forgot the subject of today's post unfortunately, but well, let us keep on going! I am having a very good game on Civ on Kongo, a Civ I haven't tried before, I'm really enjoying it, and I wasn't expecting to have such a good game, like at all! Wow, Kongo impressed me!

Also, something really good happened that should serve as incentive for me on the stream world, I received my first paycheck from Twitch! Which is mind blowing! Good money too! Which totally got me off guard! Well, anyway, memento mori, I was having a very bad moment just a couple of days ago, now I'm having a good day, which is quite refreshing, really! Let us see how it goes, shall we, hurray!



This is for my friend Yun, he loves those wonderful flowers and so do I! He introduced me to them, even! So thank you, Yun, for bringing some happiness and beauty to my life, it does mean a lot! And well, today is just that kind of improv update post The blog is famous for! Thank you for being here, dear reader, and I see you real soon!
