In Which we have a post for the Thanksgiving Holiday 2025: from an Exhausted Brazilian to dear America

Good afternoon, dear friend, reader of this present post! It is another day of November, the week of Thanksgiving too, in advance I should say happy Thanksgiving, and I wish you the best. It would be needless to add, but I will do it anyway: grateful to all my dear friends, online or IRL. I am grateful for you, dear reader! And all the good things that came to be this year of 2025, the year of the APopCalypse, the year of the collapse of Brazil's economic purchasing power. I would add moral collapse, societal collapse, overall the burning down of a whole nation, but it has been gone for a while now, what we have is the crumbling of the rubble. Anyway, still, in my personal life, even with the exhaustion, the tragedy, and all sorts of burning out, I am grateful, I am okay, I am cheerful because it is Christmas season. I will not let any catastrophe take this from me, if I can help it. I still have some agency, as such, it is Christmas, I should decorate whatever is left of my rubble...

In which we say Farewell to January, month of unquiet stability

Hello, my friend! First of all, I want to wish you a good morning, and a happy Sunday! How are you today? As for me, I am back home after spending some days at my grandma’s! Writing once again through the phone, just to make my resting time more productive. I was sat in my chair, playing games, and decided that I needed some time to rest my back, so here I am, back in bed! When I return to the workstation, maybe I’ll do a drawing, though I am not sure. 
January was a long month for me, each week felt like a month of its own. It was productive, as I read a lot, specially after getting the kindle, and I made some drawings, though more than once I ended up not drawing instead. What I didn’t draw, I read. One thing does not negate the other, but anyway. I went to the dentist, and put a provisory tooth in the place of the hole it was there since the accident, so that is indeed good! On the terms of getting my budget less of a mess, I failed so far, but there is always the next month to make things in a lesser sorry state, and I hope I may do it. I pray that the shoes I got this month may arrive soon (and they did!) and that they may be of good quality (they seem pretty solid to me). Otherwise I’ll be very angry of having spent the money on them. 
I will admit, there is a lot in my head I’d love to write about, that is not always the case, but for this Sunday, very much true. The reason I don’t start talking at once about what is on my head, is that this post is dedicated to January end balance! I don’t want to talk about the book I’m reading just yet, or the expectations for February at this point. But also, what else is there to say about January, as it was a month of weird stability. That I recall, at the moment, besides some conflicts with mom, money issues, people telling me I’ll drop dead because I’m too fat… those are given. Nothing out of the ordinary, good or bad. It is kinda sad, even, reason why I love videogames, they bring so much flavor to a life that can be bland at times. And the same is true with drawing, music, and books. I really hope I can save the other subjects I have in my head for another post, or number of posts, though I can’t be sure if I’ll still will be in the mood to write about it when I return.


Some lovely macarons to wrap up January and also today's post! Found those on Pinterest!
So, I started writing the post yesterday, but I'm wrapping it up today, at the 30th! I should be back on the 1st of February to write a bit more on what to expect for the month and so on... Hopefully it will be a nice month, with good mild weather, we shall see... maybe I could journal a bit more... It is good to see your thoughts in front of you. Wish you the best, see you again real real real real soon! Preferably on the 1st of February!
