I am sitting at the airport in the wee hours of the morning, being tired and listening to the introduction of the Untire app…. is it cancer fatigue?!? Surely not always… I had less the five hours of sleep ahead of me by the time I went to bed last night and the kids wake …

A beautifully normal day comes to an end… the kids are in kindergarten, I have coffee with Nadine, run some errands, rest and pick up the kids…. it is summer in the city, life is easy and beautiful and if I wasn’t tired, it could just be any nice normal day off…. Mum arrives for …

I can still do it…. I am still happy for other people and don’t begrudge someone their luck, their life and their happiness. Au contraire – it makes me happy to see their happiness! Meeting my friend Andrea’s baby, who is not even a week old, let’s my heart melt…. yes, I will never be …

Stuff, it is just useless stuff, which stresses me today! Why? I use the time while the kids are in Kindergarten to tidy the flat, prepare the folders for kindergarten and go to lymphdrainage, but I am restless….I have to pick the kids up at 1pm nowadays and three hours can be very short. I …

Oh, my little girl… she waves me off and runs into the play kitchen in Kindergarten…. „I will be back after lunch! Do I get a kiss?“ Quick kiss and off I go to my alternative practitioner for reflexology and acupuncture, while I am clinging to my phone! Frau Kakizaki gives me a mild look …
