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 Wrap up another February! Month of Pharaoh

Happy Tuesday, dear friend! Good morning! How are you today? How are things going? I wish you the best! How was your February? My own month was okay, overall. It was specially marked by the release of the remaster of Pharaoh, a game that throughout the last days of the month I went ahead and ALMOST finished once again! The only thing that stopped me from wrapping it up was the bug of the last mission, where I could import Barley, but could not produce my own beer for the citizens of the city, hence couldn't going forward in the mission. I had to halt my progress and I'm waiting for a patch to fix the lock of the brewery in said level. Frustrating... I did not draw much, that is true, I hope this may return in March somehow. I made a purchase on Amazon yesterday, I finally went ahead and got a case for my laptop, got a new sketchbook, and also a new mousepad, because my current one is kinda start to look gross, alas. I am almost finishing paying off my second monitor, that I got almost a year ago. Do I regret getting such hardware? Absolutely not. It's so good to have a second screen for Discord and other programs while you work on the main one! It was a gamble that fortunately I was quite right about. I started the journey, between January and February, of reading the extense three volume biography of Lady Thatcher, a wonderful task, that I'll be continuing throughout March. Read volume one the first weeks of February (or was it January? Now I cannot recall too well) and I am on the process of reading volume two. February shall be wrapped up on a positive tone also, as I'll be meeting my friend in the afternoon. Truth be told, I'm considering moving our nice rendezvous to tomorrow, March the first, if she can, of course. Because of my said Amazon purchase, I am short on credit, and tomorrow I'll receive some money from mom, and dad. I'll pay some bills and find myself more free to conduct my own affairs. It sounds like a plan... We shall see how it should go.


To wrap up today's post, we shall have the first picture I posted in 2019, on Instagram... It's a nice looking lamp! I like it a lot. And the picture looks quite good, don't you think? A nice way to wrap today's post, the no. #622 of the Divagation Store! I hope to return on the next days to write a bit about March and its beginning. Hopefully on the remainding of this week, so I see you again real real real soon, as I like to say!
