The Ten Day Work Trip
[COVID Day Five Hundred Seventy] I finally packed. The day of the flight. And I made the flight. And flying domestically within the United States is every bit as scary as I thought it’d be – no vaccine verification, no COVID test verification, just wear a mask, pack into the overbooked plane and hope you…

Have You Packed Yet?

Wait, what?
[COVID Day Five Hundred Sixty Four] Last night as I was falling asleep, I was coughing, like ya do, and instead of chilling out as I fell asleep, it just kept getting worse. Until I threw up. A lot. “Ah, okay, sicker then I thought.” #Noted Except now I’m working in America where you cannot…

It’s Not Always The Most Productive
I’m getting back into the groove of getting up at five in the morning which basically means that I’m staying awake when Boy Twin wakes me up at four in the morning because he’s leaked through.

Because You Mentioned It Enough…
[COVID Day Five Hundred Fifty Nine] I’m listening, I’m just sometimes s l o w. I’ve switched the subtitle to remove ‘Dutch Lockdown’ because not only am I not living in the Netherlands anymore, but … there’s no lockdown either. The depressing part is that COVID is now a permanent part of our lives so…

Dear Future Self
[Dutch Lock Down Day Five Hundred Fifty Eight] #DontPanic You just signed up for a ONE YEAR gym membership in America that costs SIX TIMES MORE each month than your gym membership in the Netherlands. SIX! TIMES! MORE! This will either mean incredible motivation to get your happy butt to the gym each day –…

Dear Past Self
[Dutch Lock Down Day Five Hundred Fifty Seven] Go the fuck to sleep. Boy Twin is going to wake you up at five fifty tomorrow morning. And he won’t go back to sleep. And you won’t go back to sleep. And, as a matter of fact, he’ll wake up Girl Twin. It’ll be a regular…

Disturbia
[Dutch Lock Down Day Five Hundred Fifty Six] I absolutely LOVED this song when it came out and had no idea how much it messed with my perception of mental illness growing up. But, damn, the bass is incredible. Thx, Rihanna. Bum-bum-be-dum-bum-bum-be-dum-bumBum-bum-be-dum-bum-bum-be-dum-bumBum-bum-be-dum-bum-bum-be-dum-bumBum-bum-be-dum-bum-bum-be-dum-bum
