it's recap time!

ok, i think as the whole world agrees that we do not talk about 2020 i shall not go into great detail about it either, just two things that I am very grateful and happy for about the last year

1. besides staying a lot at home, nothing really has happened to me and my family; though the isolation is showing to have an effect on me, and I am eternally grateful to lyonessheart, octahedriteand themightyflynn for all the support, and help and making me suffer less… I am also really happy to be able to say i have my own flat, because living with roommate right now does not sound appealing to me…


2. i was in the lucky position to spend christmas with my family, meaning I was at home with my parents for 14 days and I saw my grandparents, and my cousin and aunt, I did not get to see my uncle in marriage, because he was in lockdown in the uk,



before the christmas fun began, me and my friend had a nice get together and did all the christmas cookie baking in the last weekend of november… it was fun to do… though my feed ached so, so much because it was 3 days standing
so, the baking was a lot of fun, even with the pain, and here are some pictures for the show:







then, as you all of course now, my queen has died this year, i still feel her loss, and it still aches, but it is no longer that overwhelming, i also try to think of the good times we had, about the fun, and the little stuff, for me it was important, to spend this christmas with the knowledge that the queen is gone, to really feel the loss, because when my male cat died, back when he was just 15 and a half, i had the queen to help me through the loss, but this time there was no queen, and i really felt it, and it was important to me...

so, my mom got a dog...

you all know that there is no love lost, between my mom and me, so i should not have been as surprised as i was... but it still pissed me off a lot... and i use the term dog really loosely in that case, because i know ferrets bigger than that dog, so i call him "my little, tiny rat", and he likes it, and i don’t mean it badly, and it is much more nice than some of the nicknames my parents gave the queen in her old age, when her bladder control got worse...
well, anyway the dog is not at fault, and he is cute, and having to live with my parents... basically meaning being alone for 10-12 hours 5 days a week... cant be nice... HOWEVER that is all i have to say on that topic, i cannot change it, i have to accept it, and it is not my fault...
anyway, here are some "dog" pictures, i don’t think dog is appropriate term, also the dog i want to have is a doberman, just as information... well i want a pack actually doberman, rottweiler, border collie, but that is only possible if i EVER get my farm... and we all know that my farm is just a dream XD



for comparison, that is my socked foot...


sleepy dog is sleepy – and yes if you touch that doughnut he will eat you, well, he will try... not that he gets far, he fits in one hand...


and finally, i got surprise postage and gifts... which truly were a surprise because i didn't expect any...
AND yes, i remember that i offered to send you cards, and the offer is still valid, I will send you all the cardage... as soon as i have more freetime... and feel like i can put something into the cards that has something to it...

thank you tolijahlover, lyonessheart and themightyflynn
for amazing postage:






and then there is this year...
the reason why i was a u-boot until today, was because i had to write my first bachelor thesis (i hammered it out in 2.5 days in the end... which indeed is insane and totally UNNECCESSARY and i hope i will not do that to the next thesis)
then i had 3 projects to finish (one i postponed until the 25th because i didn’t manage it at all) so for the month of January i still have 3 exams left and i have to finish one HUGE project by the first of march; but i can manage that;
and then there is fandom stuff as well, i need to write this months chapter of my BZSS-fic, and I need to work on the Cracker Challenge for flynn... and honestly i am so afraid to butcher it, because it is a fantastic pair, and i want to make her happy... but i also have never written that pairing, so it is difficult... ALSO if anybody wants to offer to beta a charlie/draco/hugo – fic for me, i totally say yes to that, anybody EXCEPT for themightyflynn


and that has been my year so far....
i hope you are ale save and sound, and that the stress is not getting the better of you <3
good luck and soldier own!
