Didn't get ANY sleep last night. A massive storm hit us, power went off, dogs in panic. I locked myself in my office with them, petting and calming music until early morning. Now the storm is gone, they are snoring and I'm here, disheveled, zombified, with a full day ahead. 🐶⛈️

Best Sunday ever

playing PSVR2

Best Sunday ever, laughing and sweating and taking turns playing RAGNAROK VR2 with my husband, my mom and my mother-in-law!!! 🎸🎮🤘

Today I took my driving theory test and I PASSED! 🚗 I got my license 20+ years ago, but because of fear, never really drove. Now I'm 41 and finally ready to get over this. I want to take my dogs to nice places, to take turns driving on road trips, to visit the plant store on a whim!

Today I signed up for Posteo and Addy! 🚀 Moving away after years using a single Gmail account for everything is overwhelming, but I'm excited to use my own domain + aliases (and support EU business)!

I haven't read a single book page in two months 😱

Is it Tuesday already?

Mom, this morning: "Is it Tuesday already?". Me, annoyed, emphatically: "Of course not, mom. Today is Wednesday". At 18h30 we found out it's Thursday and the only possible explanation is we must have been abducted by aliens! 👽

Playa de Castelldefels

When we first moved to Spain, we rented an Airbnb for the first month in Castelldefels, a small town 30min by train from Barcelona.

Even though we didn't stay long there, we fell in love with the local people and the city's relaxed, easy going vibes. It was winter back then, so the next summer we came back to check the beach and yep, it was as amazing as we thought it would be! ☀️
