Hello and Happy Friday!
Breaking News: I don’t know if you heard already but Munich is under attack. I am German and I am deeply touched and angry. What is this world turning into? You hear about Terrorism everywhere, but whenever it hits your country, it feels worse. There were attacks in Würzburg a couple of days ago. Now Munich. I lived almost next to the Olympia Shopping Mall when I was a police officer and served in Munich/Schwabing. I contacted almost all my friends and former police officer colleagues who are on high alert at this point. I could have been one of them but I resigned and chose a different career path. Sad, sad world we are living in. This week I have been all over the place trying to put in as much as possible and see as many people as possible because we will move soon. It was busy, kitchen re-decorating, trike driving and packing-busy and so much more. Read on if you would like.
Reading: This week I did not read too much. Besides my daily online New York Times read in the morning and some blogs I follow I started reading B.J. Novak’s One More Thing on my Kindle and so far I love it. Great book.
Watching: I re-discovered Netflix again and watched two movies in bed late at night. Woody Allen’s Vicky Christina Barcelona! I loved, loved, loved this movie and highly recommend it. If you are a Woody Allen fan and have not seen this movie, put it on your to-watch list for sure. Great acting, great story, great dialogues. I also binge-watched Orange is the New Black Season 4! Have you seen or followed the series Catastrophe? Do you like it? I got hooked instantly.
Discovering/Learning: I am not too much into HipHop but the new album by DeLaSoul is pretty awesome and on “repeat all” while I type. Listen to the full album here. Do you know the band “Let’s eat Grandma“? Commas can save lives – or grandma’s, right?!”Let’s eat Grandma” is a British musical group that formed in 2013 by Rosa Walton and Jenny Hollingworth who are childhood friends. They released their debut album “I, Gemini” in June 2016.
Thinking about: That is has been a long (way too long) time since I have seen le husband. There are days when I miss him so so much. Other days are packed with errands and I feel better about him not being here – or with us anywhere actually. I found out today that his arrival has been postponed one more time, sniff….. This has been the longest time we have been separated. If my parents would not be here with me, I don’t know how I would have dealt with it alone and for so long. Initially, I never thought I could be separated from le husband for more than one day but it has gotten better with time. I just hope it will all end soon or change and we can be together more often; I miss him so much. I miss our life together. What we shared. I am not sugarcoating anything here: It is damn hard. Je t’aime mon amour. Toujours.
Looking forward to/Trying to: New adventures and being as safe as possible in this crazy world. I am looking forward to peace. Some type of peace. Maybe just peace for and with myself – but peace. I am looking forward to Canada. Looking forward to seeing le husband finally. The US trip with my brother and Nadine Glitzer. Looking forward to my father getting his trike. How awesome is that? Rock and Roll dad at age 60. Fact is you only life once!
Have a great weekend. Enjoy!
