In Which the fog of the terrain is present and the birds scream confusely

Good morning, dear friend, reader of the present post! How are you today, sir and madame? How is the weather? Here, glorious winter, the one of 2026, makes itself known more and more and more, and I urge it to come faster and to FREEZE the land. Oh eternal bliss of the cold winds and the heavy rains, how I love it, so much! And I am okay... I think. Just a bit 6 out of 10 these days, as a rough estimate. At times, 5 out of 10, at times almost a 7. But under the weather nonetheless. I always feel frustrated when I cannot write, or draw, and yet because this is a hobby, it would not be fair to treat it as my main trade. I went on this direction before and it is not a profitable approach. God knows what I will do for a living, but likely it won't be hard drawing or hard writing, not as a main avenue. After some days of writer's block, I did have some thoughts that I wanted to share AND that I know how. Finally a positive alignment on that field! It promises to be a long post, so i...

In Which we say Hello to August: 5th attempt to write the post is the charm!

Good morning, my friend, reader of this post. Ah, welcome to another entry on the divagation store. It has been extremely hard to write this post. Always something gets in the way, which is never ideal. Let it be sadness and lamentation, let it be lack of subjects to write about… it never really is worthy of publication. Today, I am to do another try. We should see how it goes. How are you, this Friday? How was the first week of August for you? As with me, it went reasonably okay, though with many moments of sorrow. I missed the dearest of friends very much so, more than what I already miss him… anyway. My birthday is to come next week, that is rather nice, is it not? I hope the one of this year may be better than the one of 2022, that was not that memorable. For the day or week, I just hope I can maybe receive some money, so I can pay off whatever I have to pay. I did go to the paperclip store the other day. We have a reasonably good one next to here. I, in fact, may have to return there to get more paperclip things I couldn’t the past time I went there. Either way, that costs money, and money I shall hope to pay, once I get the birthday gift. I hope, on the realm of friendship, to chat with the dearest of friends, maybe for an hour… if possible, more than that. It would bring me much joy, if it could happen. Maybe I will chat with another dear friend as well, if possible. I did not think of much to do for the celebration, because I’ve been too sunk under my woes. But if I can, I want pizza. Departing a bit from the birthday realm, and going into the realm of videogames, I played some Anno 1404 just now! I was meddling with returning to it for some days, and now I finally hit the play button. Such a remarkable game, I love how the passive trade works in it. I can just print money by selling carpets and also leather jerkins. Very satisfying. I wonder sometimes which one is best: 1800 or 1404? It is not that obvious to say one is better than the other. I personally love those two, for different reasons. I wish 1800 had a better passive trade, as Anno 1404 had. Like, you could just set your market to sell the carpets you’d produce, and the trading ship would come and buy it. Passive trade is not nearly as much of a feature in the 1800 entry. A shame, to say the least.


One of my first drawings of August is a portrait of emperor Commodus, the unbalanced. May many more follow this one, 
as drawing always brings me joy.
Classes have returned, the subjects look good, and I should take a better look at them, though I already miss a class. On my defense: that class was at 8PM, and it was just so the students could meet their new administrative team, such as tutors and coordinators… I wish I didn’t have lost it, but it is what it is.
This is a good way to begin August, I say, apart from the many woes caused by med withdrawal, and sorrow for longing for conversation with some dear friends. I do apologize for taking so long to write this entry. It could’ve come way earlier, but I could not have put one together. I pray that this month may have many posts, good to read and to write, but if the rest of it is anything like its first days… maybe I will have to settle for less posts. Thank you, dear reader, for being here. I wish you the best. May your coffee never run cold, and it may have the right amount of sugar in it. When will I be back? Hopefully at some point next week, before my birthday. Until then, cheers, and see you real soon.
