orthopedic intermission, 2

….aaand 1.5 years after the first orthopedic intermission, my back decided to remind me once again that it is here, and it has a saying on things. all it took was one mishandled box which i set on the floor without bending my knees, and we’re back to square one.

so this has been a week of laying down and standing up (never sitting), restlessness, impatience and pain with every move. which sucks, but it also makes me appreciate a few things, like the fact that i have a job that can wait a few days, and that can be done while lying down in bed. also, caring friends, and above all, the best boyfriend in the world.

this too shall pass.

5 pretty awesome things


– relocating our “office” to sunny barcelona, and escaping this dreary winter for a few days
– finally flying on a hot air balloon
– getting tickets to our favourite comedian‘s only show in town
– bursting with pride at seeing the boy improve his (already pretty awesome) half-marathon time
– … and then coming home to a mailbox overflowing with letters, postcards and presents! :D

happy holidays!

the end of the year goes by in a daze, a rush of days tangled together by hugs and errands. work has this tendency to stretch its arms and take over all the available time we have – and between that and all the trips & travels, time to sit down and write has been scarce. so instead of half-assing my way through a couple of posts, let me just close the year by wishing all my friends happy holidays – and see you next year! :)

new campers

925 days was how long my first pair of campers lasted. over two and a half years of inconspicuous comfort in all kinds of weather – and of never having to stop to tie the shoe laces!
yet with holes threatening to open on them, i knew that the end was near. so last week, we walked down to the camper store, and finally got their shiny replacements. long live the new campers! :)
