In Which Gardening Will Not Redeem Diocletian

Good morning, my friend! I am fighting against the desire to sleep, as I do want to write a post today. My eyes are so heavy, my muscles are all failing, it is like I am going to explode in exhaustion. And yet, maybe it isn't sleep, it could be anemia in any case, I hope you are in a healthier position than me, today? Of course, do let me know. And also, let me know how is the weather? Here it is one day of mild winter, which is so much appreciated. Fun how just being some centimeters in a different direction, concerning the planets, can make a difference! Here, it means the difference between a scorching day, and a more mild one. There could be influence of the ocean currents as well, but anyway, I would love to jump to today's theme, that motivated me to write. If you allow me, let is jump to it! As I mentioned anemia, let us turn to gardening, or more specifically, to cabbages and lettuces. I saw a post today that pointed that Emperor Diocletian abdicated the throne to go ta...

In Which History Progression games are quite entertaining

Good morning, my friend, reader of this post. Happy Monday, of the last week of October, where we will have the Halloween celebrations! How are you, today, and how have you been? As for me, I am okay, I suppose. I should rejoice on not facing the same incredible mental difficulties of September, but after a while, it is hard not to take the stability for granted, which is dangerous trend, even... what have I been doing? Overall, I finished the October activities for college, thank Goodness! I have been gravitating more towards Victoria 3, I suppose history progression attracts me. Apart from this game, I tend to have other ones in mind that I'd like to try but have a strong cold feet just at the time of doing it: Anno 1800 and The Sims 3. It is very frustrating to always return to the same game, when I have others in mind I'd like to try. As I said, the history progression thing tends to catch my eye, but many times Vic3 just drains me... I did finish some audiobooks, even if I have not read much the past few days, an activity I should resume, as audiobooks do not replace the reading exercise... neither have I drawn much. I am usually dead worried of ever doing it again, due to my very low mental energy. I pray that is not the case. What a crisis... a pencil can weight tons at some days, much to ny great despair. In any case, October passed by quite fast! I should soon write a post to wrap up the month, but for today, I just wanted to stop by, write about what I've been doing... that sort of thing...



The books I finished of the audio kind are the one by Pierre M. Judson on the Habsburg Empire, and also one written by a contemporary member of this household himself, sir Eduard Habsburg! Yes, as I mentioned the other post, quite a Habsburg season, and it's not even finished yet, as I have some more to read and listen to, on this imperial family.

I have mention my desire to play some The Sims 3, this season I got many mods for this particular game, to the point my computer is full of them, making my storage problem again a factor to consider. It can be painful to see the game struggling to be executed as well, due to the amount, I may have to revisit the ones I have and so decide which ones I am keeping and which ones I am not. I must admit that installing mods and managing the game files runs the risk of being more fun than the game itself. It was the same with streaming, just messing with settings, in this case, definitely was better than the activity of streaming itself... 

I trust this is a good point to wrap up this journal style post. When should I return, to the publication? Hopefully before the 31st, but if not, around that date I should wrire to wrap up October. Happy to see you, once again! And maybe you will be here for the next one as well! Who knows? I definitely will love your company for that one! As usual, I wish you the best, and I see you again real real soon! Farewell for now!
