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...

In Which we have a whole bunch of stuff to do (or at least a whole list!)

Good morning, dear reader! Happy Monday! How was the weekend? How are you? How are things going? I am sorry I decided not to write this Saturday, I was wanting to relax a bit, not wanting to worry about anything, just Civ, really. I am back now, hope I can write a post or two this week. And speaking of me, This morning will be busy! My plans are: going to the store, so I can have my earbuds fixed, or at least get new ones, or anyway, just to have an answer to my issues with it, then I should get new earphones, because my current pair is broken in one of the sides. Thinking on the matter, can my earphones be fixed as well? I'm not sure, but that would be cool. Anyway, after that, I should get a haircut, and after the haircut, I should return to home, so I can enjoy my last day off college for the next 4 months or so! I woke up really early today, as I plan on playing some games before that, I have Age of Empires III in mind. I've been wanting to get into it for a bit, but without much success, due to the fact I fear of missing out on Discord/Twitch. Yea, addiction is a thing.


Wonderful painting by the artist Julian Onderdonk, a texan impressionistic painter, just the way I like it. This name is a big one, often called the Father of Texan Painting! Or at least it's what I read! My friend Darth, that I cherish so much and value his opinion as well, wouldn't like my posts because he would think it's just a bunch of disconnected sentences mended together. I accept his criticism, but I'm not sure if I'll change things around here, this is the Divagation Store, after all, I start thinking of one thing, end up on another totally different! I think that's cool, too.

Ravel's Bolero (Youtube)

Ravel's Bolero (Spotify)

I am reminded of a composition that I really appreciate, and that is the Ravel's Bolero! I like the compass of it, and its constancy, if that's a word. I am prone to make mistakes in language, unfortunately, specially because English is not my first one, that would be Portuguese, but well, I'm here to write and practice! I pray that you can understand me! I also wonder what should be my quote of the week, it's always something that makes me think on Mondays, it's cool to research on those! Anyway, I should now go do that, and finish editing this post! Thank you, dear reader, for reading this, means a lot! I appreciate you! And I see you real soon, may this soon be this week.
