Quote of the moment Vol.2

“Any one thinking of the Holy Child as born in December would mean by it exactly what we mean by it; that Christ is not merely a summer sun of the prosperous but a winter fire for the unfortunate.” - G. K. Chesterton, The Streets of the City, The New Jerusalem

In Which we have a beautiful Christmas Eve 2025

Good morning, my dear friend, reader of this present post! Happy Wednesday, and a beautiful merry Christmas eve, I wish to you all! How are you, today? How have you been? You know I have been on that tug of war balance of the season, I want to rest, but I also want to write, but I also feel fatigued, but my brain has ideas to write about and to draw. Organizing them is hard, and as such, I struggle and so on... it has more than two sides, the mentioned tug of war, and as such, it is a complex situation. I have some moments of joy, and some others of deep fatigue, and I do feel my brain tired. I am okay, though, and I am thrilled to be able to experience another Christmas eve, the 27th of my life! It will be the big day tomorrow, of course. Nothing special in my own life will happen, and I hope for no conflict and no distress, but on such a special season, every moment is a joy, ideally.  For sake of personal tradition, I am at the house of grandma at least for the eve. I will retur...

In Which I journal a bit further! Life stuff and writing for amusement and work

Good evening/morning, my friend, reader of this post, and happy Sunday! How are you, today? How was Saturday? As for me, I am okay, though slightly concerned with my sleep pattern... I woke up too soon today, and have done so in a while this year, now. Maybe I should get a sleeping pill more regularly, as I clearly have a problem of pattern. I hope it can be arranged. Not right now, but this Sunday evening, definitely. Still on my health, I am so done being fat, I hate it, I feel terrible, all the time, I feel heavy, and I wish I could lose weight. I have been indeed moving towards the surgery to reduce my stomach. It has been hard to conceive losing weight otherwise. It is frustrating. 

Well, on a more positive note: I found an application for Safari, that enables me to write on Blogger on dark mode! This is a dream come true! It is called Dark Reader. It seems pretty nice so far, and in depth, even! My eyes say "thank you ever so much", as they should. 


Christmas decorations are coming through splendidly at my grandma's, much to my happiness! I love Christmas, as you know, and I already took many pictures of the decorations of the season! And more to come! It has been a positive season so far, apart from issues that we all have, and I hope it may keep on being a good to remember season. May it be better than the one of 2022, when I was without a tooth...

Concerning videogames, I played some Age of Empires 3 this morning, and got absolutely obliterated by the Hard AI. My allies were useless, and got overwhelmed by the Swedes and the Ottomans. There is a huge gap between levels in that game. When I return to my work desk, I wonder what I will do, as I also have other preoccupations to attend to, but I also want to play this and other games. This morning, I have been thinking specially of Anno 1800 and Victoria 3, in addition to Age of Empires 3. Speaking of games, I talked about good old Empire Earth 2 yesterday with my friend Charles! On retrospect, one of the most amazing of the RTS genre, one that I go as far as saying I should revisit, even if it's old and battered...

I have some drawings I should work on. I keep on making some plans and never following them, when it comes to doodling. I also have the work I'm doing for the architecture office to do. I want to do some more research and write about it. There is still a lot to be done, though I think I did a good job also the last time I researched about this. Writing is enjoyable, I like this work I'm doing. I get sidetracked, but so far so good. 

This has been just a small journal sort of post, and another one I write on my phone, I really grew used to it, it is easier to edit a post on the computer, and easier to grasp the size of it, but in either case... I like journaling, I like stories, I like writing about some other things as well, this is quite a variety blog! I trust we are in a good point to wrap today's post up? Of course, I shall be back soon, so no worries! It will soon be the 30th of November, and as such, time for a month wrap up! One step at a time! Anyway, thank you for being here at the divagation store! And I see you again real soon! Like I usually say, wish you the best!
