On Wednesday evening I went to a Damien Rice concert here in Boston. While it was absolutely wonderful, it also gave me food for thought. The singer interacted a lot with the audience so that we could hear much of Read More …

That Monday morning feeling 😸
Just a little extra yawn, a little extra stretch and then we rock this week 💃
Btw, Arti and Lotti are getting spayed today, which we are slightly more excited than worried about 🤞

When you omit too many words ... 🤷‍♀️ Recently, I have had several rather bad days (my broken right wrist and the cast that covers all the way from my hand to over my elbow make me feel mostly helpless), but of course there are also many good things happening:
• my husband is amazing and helps me all the time 🥰, including cutting my food and lending me his sweaters because they nicely fit over the cast
• the two snugglers 🐅🐆 are very cute and finally have appointments to get spayed
• we are both fully vaccinated against Covid and went for the first time in forever to eat inside a restaurant today
• cinemas in the City are supposed to open next Friday and I want to go immediately (I don't even really care about the specific movie)

Today did not go well. At all. Until this morning
Today did not go well. At all. Until this morning I was still afraid that my second Covid vaccination appointment might get cancelled because of the snow storm - it wasn't. But when I was on the way to the hospital, I slipped on a patch of ice on an uncleared sidewalk and fell on my right wrist 💪. While I still received my vaccine 💉 (yay!!!), they also immediately afterwards walked me over to the ER. Result: I have broken my wrist bones several times and they had to relocate the wrist 😖. I will have to wear a cast for weeks and, if the fractures don't heal well, might still need surgery. All I now need are the vaccine side effects and I shall spend tomorrow wallowing in immense self-pity 😝 #2021stillsucks Also absolutely grateful that I'm #ambidextrous 👐
