How do you sum up this godforsaken year? Well, let me say first: this has by no means been the hardest year of my life. I’ve personally had more challenging years, but it’s hard to ignore the fact of what we’ve all been through collectively in 2020. I’m writing this from a place of immense…
Christmas was hard this year. For everyone. 2020 has been a hard year. Jon and I have spent many Christmases alone and I can relate to everyone’s sadness and frustration over not being able to celebrate with family this year. Let me just tell you, the best thing to do to combat this year’s Christmas…
I saw a couple of posts from other bloggers, highlighting some of their favorite purchases from this crazy year and because sharing is caring, I thought I’d also let you know about things that I bought this year that I don’t regret buying. 1. A desk chair – when it became clear that I’d be…
Before Christmas is over (well, it officially is, I guess, but I tend to keep the Christmas magic around for a little longer than most people. And since in Germany, we keep our trees up until January, 6th (Epiphany)), I thought I’ll quickly tell you the story of this year’s Christmas tree. I’ve lamented over…

Around the Interwebs A political obituary for Donald Trump. What a beautiful photography project: No Memory Is Ever Alone. Where did the commute time go? How people used their ‘extra’ time in a WFH life. The best good news of 2020. Our Covid life, illustrated. Fascinating. Physics explains why time passes faster as you age….
I had high hopes of getting a lot of reading done in November, especially with the long holiday weekend and nowhere to be. Well, let’s just say things didn’t quite work out that way. I ended up finishing one book in November. It was a hard, but necessary read. Maybe that’s why it was also…
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 This week, I am linking up with Kookyrunner and Zenaida for Tuesday Topics and and we’re sharing some gift ideas for runners/fitness enthusiasts this week. Who am I to NOT play along. I love…
Can you believe it, just like that NaBloPoMo is over again. Every year, I worry what I will be blogging about for 30 days in a row and then I run out of days before I run out of blog ideas. So, there’s that (don’t worry… I’ll just keep blogging whenever the mood strikes, just…
