My only breaks from work were when I hurt my hand and wasn’t able to type for a week, and two free days last week, but those also weren’t really relaxing for me. So I am very much looking forward to the next two weeks! I really feel the exhaustion from the last few months with work sometimes being stressful, the start of my fiancée’s teacher training, and some other topics. But this year again showed me that bi … ⌘ Read more

This time around, returning to … ⌘ Read more
