In Which we Wrap up February and I think of my upcoming appointments with the doctors...

Good morning, friend! Happy Saturday! The last week of February went by quite fast, and here it is, the end of such month, one to set the tone for 2026, or at least parts of it. I am happy to have you here today in the divagation store and society. How are you? As for me, I am okay, it is that moment of the month when food misses the fridge, and the gas misses the stove, it means it is almost time for more grocery shopping, to be done ideally as soon as possible, with the first day of March, or so. As for the month, I can say with some degree of fulfillment that at least it was a productive one. I have worked on 7 drawings in total, which is quite above average concerning this area. I did write about the same quantity on the blog as well, and I did reach around 900 entries, which I am so happy to have done it.  The weather has become decidedly hotter, given February is the apex of summer on that regard. I am dreaming of the rains that will come at some point, but for now I just hop...

In Which I have Two Misadventured Mornings

Good afternoon and hello, dear reader of this post! I welcome you to another entry of the Divagation Store! It is a much needed one, as I am desperate to do something productive! I haven’t done so neither yesterday nor today. If it was indeed productive, certainly it was not enjoyable.
I got a new font recently, one that I wanted in a while, the lovely Wallington Pro, that I like to use to embellish my day-to-day writing. I had an idea to use it on the blog, the other day. Well… it did not work at all! I thought it was straight forward to get a font to use on the blog, it turned into a coding misadventure that sucked all my energy and made me feel very frustrated for not really managing to get nowhere with this. I hated it, hated how unintuitive, as my friend putted it, the whole process seemed to be, an infinite awful process that made my head spin. It does bring to my attention, though, that the blog needs some new colors, I could meddle with the fonts as well, though unfortunately I won't be able to select the one that I want the most, alas. But well, I must give credit where is due, Google Fonts does have a ton of options to choose from. This post was written first around the 19th of March, then I revamped it to reflect on some bad mornings I had, because I couldn't do what I set my mind to do, which was the whole font affair... I wish it was easier to do those things. I even thought maybe having my own website would be better than a blog? But nah, I do like the blogger platform, I think it is pretty solid on the sense it offers me a place where I can edit things easy, just having it all casually, rather than turning my life into a coding movie such as Matrix and so on, that would be the death of me.
On the time of finishing this post, the blog will likely be done for this season, which is something that makes me quite proud of myself, even if the blog is a casual lovely experience that on the trade-off does not attract many readers, but the ones I have, such as you, are the best ones! Quality, not Quantity! Plus, as I express myself very openly here, there are some peeps that would really be mad at me for my views, and though I am increasingly okay with their wrath, I also don't like headaches on that spectrum, so I never force my posts upon anyone, just put them out there...

To celebrate the arrival of the lovely season of Fall, that would be the original title of the post, one that came with so much wonderful rain and more bearable temperatures, I have yet another one picture from my Best of Instagram series (2012-2022), this one from 2017, in a time of relative creativity and so on. Is this a good point to wrap the post up? I believe so. I am glad I finally did something both productive and enjoyable, after three days of not much of those. I hope to return before the end of the month for one or two more posts until I do the March Wrap up! Thank you for being here, dear reader of this post, on this year that the blog will be 5 years old...? I thought I already had celebrated such milestone, my memory is failing me. Well, the 5th blog birthday, what a trip! And what should I do next with my day? I believe I could play a game...? Maybe Anno, maybe some Pharaoh, maybe try my stuff on EU4, I've been meaning to do a run as Burgundy... We'll see... Maybe I'll have some more coffee, either before or after lunch... Again, we'll see. I definitely need to give my laptop a cleansing... What I believe is certain is that we'll have a lovely weekend! See you again real real real soon! Farewell!
