In Which Balance on French History is Hard to Get Correctly

Good evening, my friend, dear reader of this present post! Happy Monday of a new week! The month of April 2026 reaches its final days, hopefully those will proceed nicely. How are you? Hopefully your werkend went well and with no incidents? Those can be disruptive and bothersome. My own set of days went okay overall. I did receive an important document this Friday, which was the results of my neuropsychological evaluation. As it turns out, I have an IQ above average! It caught me by surprise and I am so happy to see it! My own is at 110, and though this is not exactly what would be called "geniality" territory, that is quite functional and then some, therefore I am happy, on that end. The test flagged exactly what is going on in my head, the result is not entirely positive, and this is not that it can be fixed or cured, it is frustrating how that is not the case with brain issues and quirks, just mitigated and dealt with. I do not have ADHD, but I do have OCD, in a level high...

In Which June has been a net Positive

Good afternoon, dear friend, reader of this post! I wish you a happy Wednesday! How are you, today? How is the weather? As on my end, the weather is pleasant, the day is around 22-28 celsius, allowing me to rest in comfortable blankets and wear my sweaters, if I choose to do so! It is indeed my favorite time of the year, concerning temperature. And as for me, I am okay, or at least in good spirits at the moment. Tuesday went alright, I played some Anno 1800, a favorite of mine for a while, now, even if I play it in bursts. Today, planning to do the same, as well as some other games, I did get some Ancient Roman ones that I hope to also play. I started this Wednesday by trying the game Old World once again, which is a confusing one, taking me a while to get used to, if at all... I am eagerly expecting the new DLC for Victoria 3, which will come out the next Monday, less than a week from now...

Apart from games, I have been reading the biography of Harun Al Rashid, king of the 1001 nights, of the palaces of gold of the Abbassid Empire. Progressing in it slowly though, even if it has 260 something pages, I am still on page 80 something... a lot to go, still. Recently I got new books as well, I believe I mentioned it. Seven new electronic books to read on Kindle, plus two other to read on my iBook app. I don't have much opportunity to get out of the house, so I prefer that way. Even if I am excited to move towards other books, I am still happy to take my time with Harun. I am not sure why it makes me so uncomfortable to say I want to draw, like I will break a muscle or something, but I do want to do it at some point soon, I have a drawing to finish as well, a relatively big one. 


Some flowers I found on the realm of Pinterest! Quite enchanting!

Can you believe June is already starting its last slice? Dang! It seems both going fast and under our noses. I soon will write a post wrapping up the month where the weather transitioned to a way more pleasant situation... so far, I suppose the net of June has been positive. I mean, on the sense of making plans for the future as well, such as thinking of my birthday gift, wanting to get the new iPhone... doing some drawings here and there... one step at a time I suppose is all we can do! How has your June been going? Do let me know sometime! It was also the blog birthday, 6 years of writing here is insane... with all of that, I suppose it is time to wrap up today's entry! I went nice and easy in this one, on the sense of taking my time to write it. I hope I also may return real soon here with more journals, ideas, thoughts and quotidian affairs... hope it may be perhaps on the weekend? I know next week will have the release of Vic3's new expansion, so that is amazing... until then, farewell, wish you the best!!
