In Which Gardening Will Not Redeem Diocletian

Good morning, my friend! I am fighting against the desire to sleep, as I do want to write a post today. My eyes are so heavy, my muscles are all failing, it is like I am going to explode in exhaustion. And yet, maybe it isn't sleep, it could be anemia in any case, I hope you are in a healthier position than me, today? Of course, do let me know. And also, let me know how is the weather? Here it is one day of mild winter, which is so much appreciated. Fun how just being some centimeters in a different direction, concerning the planets, can make a difference! Here, it means the difference between a scorching day, and a more mild one. There could be influence of the ocean currents as well, but anyway, I would love to jump to today's theme, that motivated me to write. If you allow me, let is jump to it! As I mentioned anemia, let us turn to gardening, or more specifically, to cabbages and lettuces. I saw a post today that pointed that Emperor Diocletian abdicated the throne to go ta...

In Which I frustrate mysef over the bad Civ V match

Good morning everyone! Happy Monday! It is the last one of 2020, what? How could this happen? It seems like I was making my first drawing of this year yesterday! Do you guys remember how slow the beginning of 2020 was? It was marked to be a bad one, and at a certain point it was being like that. It improved ironically as the world went bananas over the Kung Flu. As I was at home, nothing but me, my videogames, my immediate family (brother and mom, that yes, stress me overtime, but not as much as my other family members do (love you guys, promise)), my discord family, with no pilates or college concerns for the foreseeable future, yes, after a huge blow in March, it was when started to turn around for the better. How are you? Hope your last Monday may be a blessed day, one way or another. So, how is the weather? Here, oddly enough, it's been a more mild summer somehow, with rain and winds, even if it doesn't make it less hot at moments.

And with the Last Monday, we had the last Sunday! How did you spent it? I decided to play Civ V yesterday, and this revealed to be a grand mistake in the end, even if I took no risks and chose playing as Rome, one of my favorite civs. I mean, it started well, good starting location, which is crucial, and I built all the classical era wonders I wanted, it was a game that seemed to be going well, until someone reached the MODERN ERA in like 1690, like WHAT!!!! I was barely at the Reinassance era at that point, so it was a huge red flag. Other civs started reaching the modern era and when I noticed, I was rank 9 of 12 in researched techs, which is another huge red flag, the final blow, that showed me the game was lost it was when someone built Broadway, a wonder that I usually build on like the 1870s onward, something was truly unbalanced on that game, and I dropped it in the end, wasn't worth stressing over it indeed! I spent like two hours in that dang game, and for what? I ended up miserable! Without the will to play anything, really, totally bummed. Well, I didn't learn my lesson, because I was trying Civ V again later that same day, yes, this is how I spent my last Sunday of 2020, but it wasn't a bad thing in the end, like, every day is a blessing, even when the day wasn't as good as the last one...

Today is just a quick rant on some not so great things that happened to me, can you believe this Wednesday is going to be my last post of the year? That's crazy! And the anno domini 2021 will start on a Friday, I like the sound of it. Anyway, thank you for being here, I see you again real soon!
