Dinner was on MY mind.


Fresh steamed chicken covered in marinara with Ravioli and green beans, with chilled red grapes.

Working on getting more than 6 hours a sleep every night.
I've mentally forced myself to stay up every night until midnight  because I don't want others to feel bad, but it became a bad habit for my health, creativity, focus, drive... I haven't felt myself in a while. Running on empty for a while now, I'd been stuck with forcing myself over and over again to "show up", and now I've decided to fix it.

I'm still here. In fact, I check so many times a day hoping to welcome people now with my newfound energy!   

I'm feeling better as the days go on. Yesterday, I redesigned a character for DoE, and I'm working on another soon. My creativity is coming back slowly but surely. 

Working on getting appraisals for my Dad's Estate. Now being a pawn broker, I have a rough idea on the retail value of the jewelry, and I kinda have an estimated guess for the house. But the estimate has to be provided by a dis-interested participant.

Meanwhile, I was running out of funny famous quotes for the Gazette. Operative word is 'Was'. I spent a bit of time and probably found about 50 more quotes. Well, I found more than 50. But some I felt were too... sensitive?

Got some terrible news to share here, a friend of mine had to face a serious issue today... The PC got hit by a mosk virus that ended up asking for a ransom and a file. Obviously there was no real proof the files would be decrypted ever so... There was no choice but to format the harddisk, install Linux temporarily, and later reinstall Windows. =_= What an odyssey! Poor files! Poor memories, now that I think about them...

Well, if any PCs I have, that runs Windows, ever get hit by ransomware, I'll now know what to do.

The PC I'm using went into another boot-loop. I fixed that by uninstalling a recent Windows 10 update.

Got the name of the culprit? That might help us prevent our PC's from going through the same issues...

The update probably helped the culprit, as the culprit is probably the health of the Hard Drive that the PC I'm using is using. I think the update just made it a bit worse. That's all.

Well, if you ever notice it's not that simple, please provide us with the KB_dunno_what_else filename.
