Blood test… done ✅
Still alive.
I’ll take that as good news 😆

Sometimes surprises come when you least expect them. A few months ago, I helped an acquaintance install a #mikrotik router at his house. He is very happy with it; it does excellent load balancing and failover over 4G.
A little while ago, he sent me a message about how "Back to Home" helped him […]

The Chair
A familiar road, a moment of pause. I found myself looking at a place that once meant purpose and community. It’s a quiet reflection on what remains when people move on and what stays behind in silence.

I don't remember many details; I had lost my family in an accident less than a year before, and my brother, who always told me how to get around, wasn't there to help me. I walked around the block of the Rectorate twice until I found the place to submit my registration and documents :) […]

Tonight, for some reason, this came back to my mind. Maybe because the weather feels the same as it did back then.

I Just Want to Go Back Home | MyNotes
A single thought that deafened the noise of a new city and a new life. This is the story of a paralyzing fear, of porticoes that felt like cages, and the silent nod that changed everything. It's about finding your way back home, even when you're far away from it.

The day was really intense and stressful, but the first thing I did this morning was something that put me in a good mood right away.
A submission for a presentation at a wonderful conference.
But I will say no more for now 😉
