This is a blog about the year I decided to have my Mondays off
There is not much left of you, over half of the month is already gone. But I do feel you are highly underappreciated. October gets all the credits for being a great representative for late Autumn and December is, as we all know, the Christmas month. Not much to add there. I admit that, when... Continue Reading →
Everybody loves lists, so here comes a listful. Yeah yeah, I know I tried to be funny with words and did not succeed that great. But a girls gotta try her best. If you are an ardent Spring Lover do not read further. I repeat, do not read further. You will only get angry and... Continue Reading →
... and the rest of the 42 life lessons that I was supposed to write about once a week after I had turned 51. Well, in a couple of weeks I will be 53 and most of my life lesson ideas are hiding out in a Google document. So instead of torturing myself and dragging... Continue Reading →

Some lucky bastards (sorry for the swearing) will be able to sail through life without these three pestering their journey. But for the rest of us mere mortals it will be a life long struggle. I...
