In Which August 2026 Ends, slightly above average, for all it is due

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this post! I trust it should be time for us now to wrap up the month of August! How was yours? As for my own, it went fast, and though not on the top 5 best months of my life, specially due to the bellow average birthday time, it was not a lost case scenario, in fact, retrospectively, it was a productive one, far more than I was anticipating, and specially concerning writing. It is true that financially it was a profoundly rough month, and in other aspects, such as the longing for chatting with my best friends more often, which for now could not happen, it went lackluster, but we did have had good news, such as the new DLC for Age of Empires 3 DE, coming, at least on the schedule, on September 10th. You know how chaotic a gane release can be, even of a DLC, reason why I don't know for sure if it will actually come on September, or will be delayed, but thinking that just two months ago we deemed Age 3 all but on maintenance mode, that is a remark...

In Which I dream with a Wintery Christmas

Good morning, my friend, reader of this post! Happy Wednesday! I don't know whether to rejoice or to lament for the imminent arrival of Christmas day, because once it is passed, this will mean the height of the season will be gone. And soon it will be the unchartered territory of 2024. That being said, today, I am in good spirits. I drank coffee with milk, as I keep finding out, there is no better way to drink coffee, at least the one I brew myself. I have my errands to attend to, which is mostly the craft of the new ebook I am doing with the architecture office. I desire to maybe play a game, though not exactly sure what to play, next. This day is at its beginning, and I wonder what friends I will be able to chat with today, if any. And I wonder where to have lunch and hope I have some energy and will strenght to, if desired, do something in the afternoon. 


Grandma's official living room decorated for christmas! Deck the halls with bags of holly and all the singing...
I wrote this all yesterday morning. Turns out, Tuesday was a rounding success! I could chat with dear friends, and what really made me rejoice was getting my first job payment! How amazing is that? I did talk briefly yesterday of the ebook I am developing with the office. That, alongside the money I received from dad, allowed me to do some christmas purchasing! Some new games for my Steam library, and my own keyboard! I won't have to rely now on my brother's hardware, which is a welcome development.
It has been slightly cloudy these summer days! I really appreciate the sun being less abrasive, though it is not winter. The day may be grey, but the heat is a summery one, the wind is hot, and the rays stronger. I will take the clouds to the open sky days, but I still dream with more fresh days, where I don't sweat so much.
This Wednesday, I arrived here at grandma's to celebrate the season. I would have come later, but getting a car ride to her place closer to the holiday can be very hard indeed. So I am here already. I like my grandmother´s house, bit I also like my own home, the apartment, because there, the wind is fresher and I have my own proper space. I like living with mom, even with the downsides, more than I like living with grandma. But that is tradition, you know, it is my personal tradition to come here at my grandma's to celebrate Christmas, here. It is a good tradition, and it is magical to be surrounded by so much Christmas cheer and objects, even if grandma can be grumpy. 
As I mentioned, I got a new keyboard! Those are the good news. Now, I appreciate the gear is compact, but it is taking me a while to get used to the typing in it. I keep pressing the wrong keys! What a bother. Ah, if only this was my major concern..
I really desire to write some more for Christmas, hopefully I will update this beloved publication on the eve, and on the 25th. I don't know what I will write, yet, which can be a problem, but I hope I can assemble a nice text, worthy of the season. As for this present post, I trust it is getting to the point of wrapping it up. I have plans of returning on the eve, but if I have the desire, I should return earlier with another post. Until then, I am always so happy and humbled to have you around! Wish you the best, season's greetings!
