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 It is the Height of the Season, at last!

Hello, sir! Hello, madame! Good morning, my friend, reader of the present post! Happy December, and it is a happy moment, as I can now say in full force the beautiful Merry Christmas sentence! How are you, today? How is the weather? I am okay, yesterday was pretty bad, though. Ah... just tech issues, you know? I felt I lost most of my day wrestling against Sims 3, and I lost this round. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game multiple times and the results were worse and worse, until I lost all my patience. The future for this game in my life is uncertain, though I never fully discard something with a declaration. It has been a particularly rough season for this now zombie franchise. The old friendly ghost of the seas disappeared, and with him, the whole of supply of Sims 4, the door for this one game now for me is positively shut, not that I wanted it open anyway, that game is mediocre and aggravating. Sims 3 is so much better, and yet, I am taking, unoficially, a break from it. A brea...

In Which The Blog will soon be 7 years of age

Good afternoon, my friend and reader of this post on the divagation store. How are you? How has the week been? Can you believe it, we are almost in June, and with such month, my blog, on the 8th, will be 7 years of age! 3/4 of a decade! It is scary when you think about it, so manu publications, so many words! I, of course, am not willing to stop on writing, and I pray God allow me to keep doing so. 

This is, second to Christmas and my birthday, the best time of the year, as winter is all but here. The weather dropped from 31 Celsius max at the beginning of the month, to at max, 26 Celsius. It has been raining aplenty, cold winds, and I have been wearing my beloved sweaters! Overall, I have been okay, apart from one bad episode on Tuesday, where I likely suffered from low blood sugar, or low blood pressure, and had to lay down for several hours before recovering. It was a scare, I hope I do not have to face it again, and if I do, I should look for medical help... anyway, Indeed, I have been sort of postponing my doctor's check up, because I need to get my blood drawn, and I have been postponing that and its logistical issues. The 8-12 hour fasting is hell, specially when it does not allow for coffee. At some point I really should return to my doctor for a follow up on my surgery, but well, anyway, one step at a time. 

After many months of trying, I am very happy to have become more active on Anno 1800 again. I think calling it an Anno renaissance is a bit of a stretch, but I have been playing such game more consistently than before. This is due to the many mods I have been trying, including the New Horizons one. Speaking of which, I finally have unlocked the Asian session in the game, which comes with the super mod, after being on this current save for almost two weeks, now. I also made the mistake of subscribing to the invasion branch of the save, and that was a huge mistake on my end. I had no idea, before, how those invasions would play out, and when I saw them happening, I was very much terrified to see many many ships just swarming my area and putting fire on everything. I had no hesitation in unsubscribing to this branch of the mod. No, I don't think military endeavors are on my plans for this game, when I prefer to build towns and develop islands. On that, and other regards, Anno 1404 did a better work. Still love 1800, though.

Writing this here some hours later: Just returned home from my pilates practice, so, good evening! May visit my grandma tomorrow, it depends on my energy levels. I will not force any way or the other. I did mention to hear I may visit her, but may is not I will. I never like to make promises I cannot keep, or plans I will not comply with, hence I am always careful with words. In the same level, I had a more concisive idea for a post, but I will not scrap this one up. This will be an old fashioned post, one of those where I talk of the weather. I adore to write the more intellectual ones, but they can't be forced. In any case...

I trust I should wrap up this blog post, here. It is tiresome for both parts when the post gets too long, I just keep going, and specially when I do not have anything in specific to say. Not now, at least. When should I return to the blog, for another entry? Hopefully soon, I do have some more ideas I'd love to put into the screen. Hopefully next week. In any case, thank you for being here once more, so deeply appreciated. Wish you the best, see you real soon.
