Purrr-lease keep my baby girl in your thoughts. I made a vet appointment for her for Tuesday because she's been acting a bit "off" lately. Not enough to warrant an emergency visit, but enough to strike fear for the future into my soul.
I am not ok 😭
Karen smiling at the camera, while Richard smiles lovingly at her instead
I thought men only looked at a woman like this in fantasy stories. I never allowed myself to believe in real love this beautiful and nurturing. Shame on me 😅
What a marvelous reality check 🥰
Not living with a house mate 🤣

I am officially registered as a solo resident of a little Dutch village 🥰
An achievement of almost three years in the making 🙌
After much sweat and tears, it seems that dreams really can come true ✨
I love it! 😍 How super fun! I found my long cloak while unpacking and gave it a good twirl as well. Nothing makes you feel more magical than a good heavy cloak ✨
I'm going to sleep for a whole week after this move happens 🥱
Thank you! I have an amazingly supportive community helping me on the day. So blessed with lovely friends who are helping me to move my boxes and furnish the space with secondhand items to save me lots of money
I'm moving into my own apartment in 11 freaking days!!!
So excited 😍 but also SO much stress 😱

I've been a fan for 20 years and have never seen them live 🥹
Gift to future Karen, for all the damn adulting I'm doing currently
Everything is going so well lately, that it naturally makes me suspicious 😅

Me as a tester right now:
"I don't care how it was coded, but it better damn be accessible"
I figured I had better not skip showering again today. My skin was so oily that I started to hear rumblings of US political interest.
All I want for Christmas is hope 🕯️
Also shoutout to us expats who "celebrated" last week with a couple of friends over their first helping of green bean casserole. Despite their confusion during the description of the dish, it went well.
No one here cares 🤣
If you're at the event in person, please PLEASE share photos with me TIA

My heart is in Potsdam this week, but my body isn't 😭
I'll be online for some of the @agiletdzone.bsky.social talks, let me know if you're watching too 👀
Big soft virtual "from the comfort of pajamas" conference vibes 🥰
Liliana is attending as well 🖤
As my next trick, my body has upgraded its light sniffles to full-blown Con Crud symptoms.
That's what I get for having fun 🥺
I also just found out I was featured on the official Ravensburger NL Instagram page 🥹 How freaking cool!

What. A. Weekend.
SpellenSpektakel saw at least 16,000 board and card game enthusiasts on Saturday alone! I volunteered both days to teach people how to play Lorcana at the huge Ravensburger booths.
From adults to very tiny humans, everyone had a blast - including me 😁
Now? I rest...
I have the Engage and Experience 2 models. Engage is good for crowd noise in groups and Experience 2 is great for loud music and things like today's construction noise
Loop earplugs benefit #629 and counting:
Dampening the roaring squeal of the asphalt being cut, just outside my window.
When you have to wear the earplugs indoors, it's gonna be a day...at least we have the utilities turned on today.
Tuesday I moved forward in therapy. It wasn't pleasant, but I'm still here and I'll do it again at the next session tomorrow.
Got my Corona booster today. Took a little nap after, but I'm currently acquiring food and heading to my weekly Lorcana League.
Killing it
I've had a really stellar couple of days, personal improvement-wise.
Managed to do something big that would have drained me totally before. But I completed it in an afternoon, with help on Monday.
Hugs and warm comfy vibes of healing to you❤️✨
I was today-years-old when I finally realized that YOU, one of my favorite old Bird-Site people, is here on this BS site 😍
So good to see you, lovely 🫶

I slept so well last night that I woke up with the strangest thing this morning...Hope 🥰
I've been a bundle of stress and anxiety for so long, it's time for a new leaf to unfurl.
Passing this on as your sign to seize the day and find joy in the small moments.
Sending lots of love from me to you ❤️

I wore my rainbow coat on a walk for the first time this season (photo for reference)
I saw so many passing strangers smile at the bright colors 🥹
I live for this. For the love of gods friends, wear the wild clothes 💃
