the update that we keep not updating.

August 04, 2025

It has been a long time since I updated. I started work, more than a year ago. And time seems to just go by rather quickly since then. We went through a lot of changes. We have had a lot of new experiences. Kid is now six. I still miss being with the kid. I still yearn for those days. It is a strange feeling to have to get used to, being away from the kid.

We are still not used to things but at the same time we kind of got used to a certain routine. It could be better but we're trying. Working and being a parent is hard. I wish every day I don’t have to go and leave the kid or the house or just not go to work but that’s just lazy talk. Haha for the not last part at least.

So now it’s 2025. A new year. It has been January for the longest time 😅 and finally it is February. And then March and April and then May and June and July came. And now it’s August.

to sum up 2024, we did a lot of new things but the highlight was travelling with the kid. We went to Japan. even if it was for a few days of exploring Tokyo but we had a nice time.

And then in 2025, we did more new things. We even went to Japan a second time because we just wanted to go back and explore more of Japan and it was nice and we are still constantly thinking of going back.

Things around the world are hard. To just say it’s hard is such an understatement. I wish things were different but most of the time, it stays the same because it’s easier. Is it easier? We really don’t know. Sometimes it feels like we’re never going to make it. But most days things just go. just as the earth goes and the moon and the planets and the stars and everything around us. I’ll try to update more, if I get the inspiration.

Legos, the sun and a new plant.

August 23, 2023

I haven’t realised how much time has past since I’ve updated. It’s just been busy I guess? It has been hard to find moments to do certain things. Like some things just takes more time and then all of a sudden we’re out of time.

I was also doing something small every day, like just drawing in planners that didn’t get completed/or filled up. and it has been helping me to draw a bit more than I would be. At least that’s what July/August has been feeling like. Days and nights kind of blended in together. Oh yes I did have a birthday almost a month ago. We are still doing school slowly. I started playing Pikmin 4. I’m also trying to read Dune. I started a while back and didn’t finish it and now I want to try to finish reading it before the second movie is out. I started reading it before I watched the 1984 movie I think and somehow always just not finish reading the story but this time I will try harder.

We’re almost at the last quarter of 2023, with August ending soon. It is so strange how time seems to be moving so slowly and quickly at the same time.

1. I got this LEGO set for my birthday and spend at least a week on it. That was quite nice.

2. The completed “artwork” on the wall. And also the sun shining in.

7. dark blue and the kid’s artwork. he was doing matisse artworks he said :)

8. Excited about this Kinto jug and mug combo for my tea.

10. I’ve been looking everywhere for a ficus Audrey and I couldn’t believe that I actually got one! Well I hope it is a ficus audrey haha.

11. A bit of mess but I mostly wanted to share a picture of another new plant :) Another ficus! My plant collection is definitely growing more than I expected. I should try to take a picture of each one of my plants. That’s an idea for the next update I guess :)

July so far

July 17, 2023

We had quite a busy June I think. July has been slower but the kid had suspected food poisoning we think and it was hard. I feel it has been sickness after sickness lately and it is rather draining. For us, and also for the kid. Now we are already halfway through July, we are just trying to get by again and hoping the kid will stay healthy. As always just trying as best as we could.
