.my Q1 2026 reads.
I started 2026 pretty strong, already reading 6 books (half of my yearly reading goal). I suspect I’ll be slowing down a bit since I’m working on a few other things for myself. It’s a good thing. I have a lot of hobbies, but here’s what I’ve read in 2026 so far: January The Mystery…

.march RWLUDT.
I’ve decided to try writing this monthly list of things I’m reading, watching, listening to, using, doing, and trying. I hope with this, I can find more glimmers in my everyday life. Reading Wuthering Heights I’ve had this on my TBR list, and I’ve been wanting to read more “classics”. With all the hype around…

.thai routines in germany.
In February, my husband and I went on an amazing trip to Thailand, and I admit I didn’t want to come back. We trained in Muay Thai, lived by the pool, enjoyed the beaches, admired the views, and cherished our time together. I actually cried the day we left, not because I have an issue…

.moomins in munich.
This all started with a meme. About a year ago, Instagram started sending me memes with this adorable cartoon girl. She had red hair and a cute ponytail that pointed at the top of her head; she constantly looked irritated and mischievous. I absolutely loved it. My husband would get those memes too and would…

.jack of all trades / master of none.
I haven’t written anything since 2025, so happy new year? And what a great way to start this new year of writing with a diary entry. I’ve been in a rut lately. Maybe it’s depression creeping in. I just don’t know what to do. The start of 2026 was actually pretty solid for me. I…

.on TikTok.
A random TikTok experiment, my thoughts on the app, and why I want to quit it. This is a post I started in October, but struggled to complete because I got busy with visitors, got sick, then visited the US for the month, shifted my focus to German learning, then got sick again. My bad.…

.my Q3 2025 reads.
The last few months have flown by because I’ve been busy with my German classes, so it’s actually taken me longer than usual to finish a book. I’m hoping to finish out the year strong. Anyway, here’s what I’ve read, along with ratings and quick reviews. July None of This is True Lisa Jewell 9/10…

Copenhagen Half-Marathon 2025
Over the weekend, I ran my first race outside the US and my first half-marathon in two years. My Journey About three years ago, before my first Philly Half-Marathon, I hurt my hip, and running for me hasn’t been the same since. That race took place in November 2022, and I hurt my hip in…

.losing memories.
15 years ago, my Grandaddy passed away, September 11th, 2010. I always confuse the date because my cousin also passed away in September, and then I always think, “No, he didn’t pass on 9/11!” My dad actually reminded me today. This took me by surprise because I didn’t realize it was that long ago. I…
