Taking things slow today, but was able to work a little bit. After I finished, I made some new bracelets ✨ hopefully building up my energy will lead me to new events this year!

Bagged beaded bracelets in many colors, including a rainbow one that says "joy"

I went into the office yesterday for the first time since burnout started, at the direction of my boss. Only 3 hours, but add on 90 min there and back on public transport. Today I couldn't get out of bed. Send soft comfy vibes, please. I could use a hug, and maybe 12 more hours of sleep.

I love a good kaassouffle as much as the next person, but have you had chili cheese kaasstengels??? Arguably even better, especially when dipped in buffalo sauce for actual spice

I feel angry today. Maybe it's my hormones... ...maybe it's the fact that patriarchy-reinforcing institutionalized colonialist systems of organized religion have infested the western world and rotted away the core tenets of caring for others beyond "saving them". You know, just girly thoughts ✨

It has been almost 2 months since my last trip to a disc golf course, and I can feel the lack of regulation in my body. I will make time for it this week 🙏 I need my church to quiet my mind

This is the coolest business initiative I've seen in US news in recent history. I pledged to help rescue and restructure this major budget airline, to transform it into a company by the people, for the people! Let's go 💪 letsbuyspiritair.com

Purrr-lease keep my baby girl in your thoughts. I made a vet appointment for her for Tuesday because she's been acting a bit "off" lately. Not enough to warrant an emergency visit, but enough to strike fear for the future into my soul. I am not ok 😭

I thought men only looked at a woman like this in fantasy stories. I never allowed myself to believe in real love this beautiful and nurturing. Shame on me 😅 What a marvelous reality check 🥰

I love it! 😍 How super fun! I found my long cloak while unpacking and gave it a good twirl as well. Nothing makes you feel more magical than a good heavy cloak ✨

Thank you! I have an amazingly supportive community helping me on the day. So blessed with lovely friends who are helping me to move my boxes and furnish the space with secondhand items to save me lots of money

Also shoutout to us expats who "celebrated" last week with a couple of friends over their first helping of green bean casserole. Despite their confusion during the description of the dish, it went well. No one here cares 🤣

My heart is in Potsdam this week, but my body isn't 😭 I'll be online for some of the @agiletdzone.bsky.social talks, let me know if you're watching too 👀 Big soft virtual "from the comfort of pajamas" conference vibes 🥰 Liliana is attending as well 🖤

What. A. Weekend. SpellenSpektakel saw at least 16,000 board and card game enthusiasts on Saturday alone! I volunteered both days to teach people how to play Lorcana at the huge Ravensburger booths. From adults to very tiny humans, everyone had a blast - including me 😁 Now? I rest...

Tuesday I moved forward in therapy. It wasn't pleasant, but I'm still here and I'll do it again at the next session tomorrow. Got my Corona booster today. Took a little nap after, but I'm currently acquiring food and heading to my weekly Lorcana League. Killing it

I've had a really stellar couple of days, personal improvement-wise. Managed to do something big that would have drained me totally before. But I completed it in an afternoon, with help on Monday.

Went to see @hadestownmusical.bsky.social in Amsterdam last week for one of their final shows here, and was absolutely hooked from start to finish 👀 What great set design, incredible performers (shoutout to the legendary Muses), and memorable tunes. Well done, folks 👏 "We're gonna sing it again!"
