Fracas Noir – Susanne Waldau – te Brake ~ for better or worse

We definitely have an ongoing trend with verbal arguments, walk outs and cold shoulders. In fact our house (lets not call it a home anymore *sarcasm*) is in a permanent perma-frost state. The times the sun is shining is doing little to melt the enormous iceberg. Perhaps it’s my medication (I recently started taking something [...]

I’ve been dieting my whole life. I can admit to that. But I see it more as a way of life. Eat healthy, avoid sugar and work-out. So far so good. There have been times when I needed to loose weight…and fast. It was a friend of mine in highschool that introduced the Stewardess Diet. [...]

I’ve had planning meetings all day for a new project. It’s really exciting to see a new concept taking shape and the team coming together behind it. At 6 pm I was completely knackered and as I’m working from home nowadays went upstairs for what I thought was going to be a short nap. Turns [...]

It’s been super hectic, and I’ve tried to cram in session with my physiotherapist and getting a manicure with calls and meetings. But it worked. Nails looks great, and now I have a few hours of cleaning out my inbox and a call for tonight. Then awaits some cosy me time with a cup of [...]

Probably one of the “warmer” days yesterday before the arctic cold will descend on us, we decided to go for a bike ride and get some ice-cream. I had little ice cakes and Sebastian was enjoying his rum-raisin and pistachio ice. Well pictures speak tons more than words…

I’m at the neurolog discussing the medication I can get to my probably MS but still to be verified illness. The doctor suggests an anti-depressant. I immediately facilitate the information I am most likely depressed. Reinout confirms this saying “the prospect of her ending up in a wheelchair is a bit daunting”. I cut him [...]

…WTF Happened? Well, Reinout came home. I was spying on him from the sitting room as he was searching for his wallet before leaving the cab. As he made his way to the door, I hid in a corner in the study. Just as he passed me I came out with a boohoo. It scared [...]

I’m completely exhausted, walking home in anger after a disrupted dinner. I was suppose to have an evening out with my husband but something went wrong (someone was a tad too drunk #@$%^&*!) and I’m now at home, on my own in bed. WTF happened? Perhaps solitude is the only viable option?

It’s no secret that married life has been a roller-coaster in the last months. Arguments are succeeded by tender embraces, kisses (and the make-ups!) only to be transitioned into another disagreement. I have lost count how many times I’ve called it a day, and I’m sure Reinout has too. But sometimes it is time to [...]
