The sunshine wakes me up and my mood brightens as the beams hit my face. I feel much better and enjoy the early morning with my kids. Mia wants to cuddle all the time and clings to my leg…. my kids – like all kids – have very fine senses and feel when I need …

I sleep only a few hours and lay awake having bad mom thoughts running through my mind. It rains heavily and I do not manage to stop my mind, which runs like a hamster in a wheel….I feel guilty for not spending the afternoon with my kids, as I will hardly be home next week. …

It is warm and sunny and busy…. Yes, I do too much, but the weather is so beautiful and I feel that I am full of energy. I am very proud to say that I managed to get an appointment at a very cool barber shop! The bearded guys and their bearded clients looked slightly …

Today I am back in the medical world… I had no energy yesterday, there is still a lump in my breast and it was bleeding and therefore I am at the doctor’s first thing in the morning (but did send a What’s App to Prof. Dr. Breidenbach yesterday not to get into trouble again 😉). …

Things you (or rather I) realize when you loose your hair: – the back of my head is NOT flat…. why did I ever believe that?!? Every time I used to tie a ponytail, I would pull it higher due to my ‚flat‘ back of my head…. every time at the hair dressers, I would …

I feel a bit rusty this week. It might be owed to the fact that I did not do any sports apart from skiing, but I rather think that it is probably the lack of cortisone, which makes me realize just a little more that my bones and joints are hurting a bit, especially when …
