In Which a Defeat feels like Victory

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this post! Hope you are okay? Do let me know! And maybe the weather is also fairing not as summery, instead leaning more on towards Autumn, assuming you come from the north! Here, the weather of September has been mild, which is a blessing! As a whole, the month so far was one of a slowly fading winter, in towards what one can pray it may be a fresh spring. As for me, the weekend was relatively calm. I did play some games, and I could work on my first 2026 season christmas postcard! As a personal tradition I have, I do it early, as I adore christmas. I was worried if this year I could have done it as early, fortunately the answer is yes! As usual, this is dedicated to my dear pen pals, excellent online friends, that I have cultivated across the years. It has a sparkly feel to it, more than in past years. It just ended up this way, and I like it. No reason for it to look particularly optimistic, just happened in the end. God knows I have my lament...

In Which I hope to escape the week of mental trouble

I wasn't able to sleep for two nights straight, and to avoid not being able to sleep a third night, I decided to take a medicine to relax the muscle tissues, so that would make me sleepy. Fortunately it worked, well... way more than I would like, even, as through the morning I could barely open my eyes. I didn't want to sleep anymore for the day, though, so I just stood there in bed, trying to keep myself awake... Hopefully today I won't need any sleeping pill for the evening. I pray that today may be lesser bad than yesterday was. At least, hope I can draw something nice, maybe... Though I won't necessarily hold my breath. We'll see the final balance as the day go. I think I mentioned past week was just terrible for me, I was in an awful mental position, feeling sad, frustrated and desolate, in need of a friend. I pray that this new week may be lesser bad, will try to at least get some games going and not to think much of college for the day being, though I should return to the activities at some point...
This week my blog will be five years old, how crazy is that? I wonder how to celebrate such an occasion... I was thinking about reworking on an old story I wrote here, I read some drafts of it here on the blog, I am not too satisfied with it anymore, which is not necessarily a big surprise, I wrote that one when I was 5 years younger. Crazy how things go... likely I'll reach post number 650 at some point in the next few months. But, in reality, I don't know how to celebrate the event, if any celebration at all, as I've been so down, these days... very little to look up to. Not even paying much attention to corn season, either. I used to say that to my friends more often... Me and grandma are sorta done with fireworks and fireplaces. We'll see... this month is looking like another one of grieving and longing. Hopefully not, but anyway...


The Baltic Mug makes an appearance once again, cheers...
I made myself some more coffee just now, I like coffee, tastes good if you put enough sugar on it. Some people drink it black, I am not one of them. Can't stand the pure taste, too bitter. I haven't been promoting the blog much on twitter these days... my posts are a bit sad, at the moment, and in fact I'd start being sad as well on this one. I mean, it is the least we can do... I appreciate you, dear reader, thank you, my friend, for sticking around. You are the best! I hope to see you real soon for some more words...
