WRD: Week 13: 2021 Just Blurgh
Tweet Sorry all; I’m just feeling really sick of things again. I figured out that some of my feeling is indeed FOMO; people are either getting vaccinated and getting their own life back and making plans, or quite the opposite – acting like nothing is going on and keeping the rest of us in lockdown.…
WRD: Week 12:2021 I did nothing and live to tell the tale
Tweet As you all know, I was on vacation this week; I did have plans in the house and to do Adult Things such as taxes, but, well… is that really what vacation is for, even during a pandemic? I did not get to see my friend Yvonne due to exposure “scare” at her house…
WRD: Week 11:2021 Running Down to “Vacation”
Tweet This was my last week at work before a week long “vacation”. Obviously that word gets quotes because I am not going anywhere! Here in The Netherlands we are still in partial lockdown with curfew. We are strongly advised not to travel anywhere unless truly necessary. That even goes for travelling within the country.…
WRD: Week 10:2021 Psycho Weather qu’est-ce que c’est?
Tweet So yeah. What about that nice spring weather we had a couple of weeks ago? That was a fluke. Or maybe I’m just remembering the season incorrectly. We are in full-on psycho weather mode here in The Netherlands. Several times this week I either had to beat the weather or do a pretty intensive…
WRD: Week 9:2021 Adapting for Stress Week
Tweet First week of the month at work = stress It’s been more than just last week, the last several weeks were busy and stressful at work. Of course I say, “at work” but I’m working from home. The added stress plus the fact that you can’t just walk to someone’s desk or yell out…
WRD: Week 5:2021 Groundhog Day Continues
Tweet Another extension of lockdown! Ok Seriously you guys. This is getting so old. I know. It’s important we stay home, mask up, don’t travel, don’t see people, work from home, etc. But I’m so, so disappointed in how things have been handled here in general. I feel like we are doing NOW what we…
WRD: Week 4:2021 – Bye Bye January
Tweet Mentally Exhausting Week This was not the best week ever. There are a couple of things going on that had me pretty upset this week. Not the end of the world kind of stuff, but just frustrating things that I have very little control over. The situation upsetting me the most is that I…
WRD: Week 3:2021 What Blue Monday?
Tweet Usually there’s a lot about chatter about Blue Monday – traditionally the saddest day of the year, due to a combination of dark, cold days and nights, possibly being broke from the holidays, and – for many people – a time when resolutions made already feel like resolutions failed. This year I not only…
WRD: Week 2:2021
Tweet Pretty much the same, right? I don’t mean that in a negative or positive way, just neutral. So for some positivity, let’s just go to the Weekly Run Down! Because I can tell you that reconnecting with blogger friends (and in-person friends) really makes things feel positive! That’s kind of what this week was…
2021 – Is it safe to come out now?
Tweet So, hey, how’s everyone been? I know it’s been a long time since I posted and I actually started a post some time ago, but didn’t finish it (funnily enough part of it was about writer’s block), but I’m ready to join back in on the blogging fun. Whoo hoo! It’s been 2.5 months…
