In Which I celebrate my Birthday once more! Perhaps a quiet birthday one?

Good morning to dear friend, reader of this present post! Happy Wednesday, August 12! It is the day of my birthday, a day that I am quite fond of. I should officially be 28 at 5PM, which is the time of my deliverance. What are your plans for today? As for me, I am not entirely sure. One reason why the idea of a birthday season is to have more time to celebrate, given at the precise day of your birthday you may not be on full energy. It is also remarkably early still, at 9 and a half in the morning. Maybe some cake is in order, it is also the time I can have a slice of pizza... all I wish was to hear from my friend Johannes, but that likely won't go anywhere, so why bother. If he could reach out, it would be enough to make my week as bright as the Proxima Centauri. I should not dare to dream of such joy. It is not healthy when you cannot have it. The drawing for today's celebration! It has become a tradition of mine since around 2022 I think! Dad invited me to the movies, but he...

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.
