week #2
/ the week started with the first school run of the year. the daughter was very happy to celebrate her birthday with the class today. but when we arrived at the gate, we heard we had to postpone it due to her teacher begin abscent. thankfully the daughter was not too dissapointed.
/ I was happy our normal school routine was back again. because that meant: back to some time for myself in the mornings, a more regular qi gong practice, more time for household chores.
/ I think I've put snowboots in my online shopping basket at least 4 times this week. I always deleted them again, because how long is this snow still here? it's probably gone when they arrive :')
/ we finished watching Pluribus and I can't wait for season 2! I read they are starting the writing process soon and filming in 2027, to release it in 2028.
/ I was back at it again with organizing and cleaning the house! I got a big urge to make everything tidy. so I cleaned out the pantry, the coffee mug cabinet and the vase cabinet. I love the feeling of a 'fresh start' with less clutter.
/ I was happy I found some bird food in the utility room. it's probably something they can use with all this snow now! I put something out for them and a few hours later I saw they already found it.
/ during Christmas break I bought Matthew McConaugheys audiobook greenlights, which I started listening to this week.
/ it was time for new work shoes (aka Dr. Martens) and after two days of searching I found a pair to my liking for a good price, yeah!
/ I was so tired Tuesday evening that I took a bath and went to bed early. I needed it!
/ on Wednesday we celebrated the daughters birthday at school. all of the classmates sang birthday songs for her, made her imaginative fireworks and had a disco danceparty. it was so much fun to see how happy it made her!
/ that afternoon the daughter went to a birthday party, which meant that I had some extra time to myself. I spent my time sketching new linocuts. I had a lot of ideas! in the evening I had some time to cut and print: member of the always tired club.
/ finished watching season 6 of emily in paris and started younger.
/ there was one night this week that I was SO cold, that I got up to get extra socks (2x) and got an extra sweater on top of my pyjama to sleep in. my feet felt like ice cubes and I was awake several hours because I couldn’t fall asleep. not my best night.
/ I brought home the first tulips and ranunculus of the year!
/ on Friday, the daughter brought the plushy bear home for the weekend (from kindergarten class). the kids are supposed to write a story of everything they did with him. a good weekend for bear, because we had a lot of fun things planned.
/ Saturday morning we woke up to a big pack of snow outside. at least 10 centimeters. it looked so lovely! the first time this winter that the snow stayed everywhere and all the trees had a layer of snow for several days.
/ Saturday evening we started watching slow horses and I directly loved it. one of those series where you already watched 2 episodes, so it's around 23:00h in the evening and you should go to bed but you also really want to keep watching!
/ on Sunday the whole fam from Germany came over to celebrate the daughters birthday. we had 'kuchen und kaffee' and went bowling for 2.5 hours. I lost all the bowling skills I ever had (not that I ever had any, hehe), and it was such a lovely day! after everyone went home I felt tired and energized at the same time.
