The only way is up
Blogging hasn’t come to me in the last days. Partly because I’ve been too busy but in all fairness that is probably just an excuse. A more appropriate explanation is that I’ve gone through days of soul searching. Coming to conclusions, measuring the good against the bad, the balance settled on a scoring board. I’ve [...]
Deadline: 400 data entries
We just came back from from our intake conversation for Sebastian’s new creche. 90 minutes of screaming kids does make you incredibly tired. We both walked out feeling woozy. I’m now in front of my computer with 400 data entries to be done by midnight….or later. Can’t say I’m super excited.
Headache and a pile of [...]
Retail therapy, hair extensions, salsa party & a whole lot of work
If I was about to sum up this weekend, it would have to be - good in places. Friday evening didn’t turn out quite as expected. Let’s just say a pair of EUR 250;- Chloe shoes (they were on 75% discount in my defence) put a stop for what I had expected to be a [...]

Hanging in there
I’m somewhat blank sitting here on the train on my way to work. Tired isn’t the right word, more like absent minded. I wish I could crawl underneath a blanket and stay there until the onset of spring. I’m bogged down with work and it starts wearing me down. I’ve been thinking about how to [...]
Clean admin, clean spirit!
My husband is in an excellent mood! Needless to say it makes me very happy too! I don’t know if it’s because of a clean house, a clean admin or a clean conscious. Perhaps it’s all three. My husband is, what you could call, a periodic administrator. Just like the periodic alcoholic abstaining from alcohol, [...]

Exciting week ahead!
This weekend was probably the most relaxing in ages. I really had time to switch off, read, sleep, watch movies and play with Sebastian. It didn’t come a moment too late! Instead it triggered a lot of thinking as I got perspective on things again. It’s so easy to be dragged down in every little [...]
Dinner with my boss(es) (& more…)
Some days can turn out unexpectantly good, completely unforseen, out of the blue! And so with 5 cups of coffee I survived the day, better than I’d thought. In fact the day went by in a breeze and at 5.30 pm I was on my way home to prepare a dinner for our management team [...]

Adieu to sleeping pills
The last days, weeks in fact, I have been living on tranquillisers to put me to sleep. That familiar feeling of a racing heart coupled with a racing mind had come back to haunt me. This time around I knew the exact reason for my trepidation, but lack of time and perhaps will power too [...]
Pictures from OnlineSalsaTV
Here are the pictures of Sunday’s OnlineSalsaTV shooting. I’m afraid there’s little time to give an update on what’s going on today, apart from that I’m waiting in for a meeting in 50 min from now. Then need to finish off the action list for today. Then salsa lesson at 7 pm and after that [...]

8 cups of Coffee
Another Monday. Dead tired. Yesterday we did 9 hours of filming, was fun, but a lot of work and 8 cups of coffee. I was in bed by midnight which was quite a feat. Slept for over 7 hours apart from one interruption by Sebastian. Strange dreams. Gym session went well, then shower, first cup [...]
