missing asia like a phantom limb. :( i wonder how we’ll see it one day, when we go back.

– seeing the in-laws get the first dose of the vaccine, at last! they’re in their 80s, and it feels like a weight has been lifted off our shoulders, like a cloud that had been there for a whole year slowly dissipating. there’s nothing like this overwhelming feeling of relief, of knowing your family will be ok.
– i’ve been trying to eat a bit better this year, and i’m now at my lowest weight in… 10 years? seems a bit implausible, but i guess the scale doesn’t lie. eating mostly keto + not going out seem to have done more in 3 months than all my half-assed diets in previous years. i still have some kilos to go, but feeling pretty pleased with myself already. :)
– saw our first western yellow wagtail and also an iberian green woodpecker!
– the fields all around us smell like orange blossom and it’s just so dreamy.
around this time 10 years ago, we were having some of our last hot chocolates in a slovenian roof café.

weeknotes, 11/21
nothing special going on this week… just this overwhelming feeling of not having enough time to do ALL! THE! THINGS! my mind wants to work overtime so that projects move faster, but it also wants to knit, draw, practice chinese, call friends and do all sorts of other stuff. sigh. some highlights:
– the relief of having 10 fingers to type again!
– the reddit crack chicken recipe. stewing chicken in cream cheese sounded weird at first, but it turned out delicious.
– this super fun drawing together class with lynda barry. behold my spotted giraffe on the right, drawn with the eyes closed — i love it!
– the discovery of this spotify playlist with ambient noise from a lidl shop. :D
– this huge swedish model of the solar system, which we shall visit some day.
– spring (and tshirt weather) is here!
the neverending skies of iceland, around this time 5 years ago.
