And that’s one of the reasons Sweden with it’s this far a little odd strategy through all this has done all they can to keep the schools open. And don’t be ti hysterical about it, so the kids will have the most normal experience possible. There’s still guidelines and some restrictions but not nearly what’s been and has been in other countries.
We doesn’t really get the full experience out here on the Countryside either. Except for masks in the stores. In our kids school it’s only about 300 students in grades 0-9 that means kinds from 6 years old upto 16.
I’m not saying that it’s the right way to go, and I’m not saying that I ain’t worried (because I am, my province is one of those with the highest infection rate)
But our strategy is build upon the idea that life should be as “normal” as possible. The only kids with homeschooling is the kids in grade 10-12 (gymnasium kids) and the university students. Because they usually have a long commute to school.
The sun is shining, the day have just started and as usual I’ve got shit to do. An exam to write, a book to order, some cleaning, grocery shopping for tonight’s dinner. And trying to get some kind of job which still seems almost impossible without a driver’s license, which as I mentioned last time, I won’t be able to afford without a job.
I know I probably could make some money by fortune telling or reading tarot cards for people. It would definitely be a quick fix and a good pay. But it’s against my principles, I don’t want to make money that way.
So I’m thinking about maybe take a summer class in coding or something computer/ IT related and try to make money working online. Trying to do the same as “just” a writer is like trying to take a barefoot walk in the deep jungle without any experience without getting seriously injured. Aka almost impossible.
I should have started my day and my chores a long time ago, but I’m all alone in the house, it’s nice calm drama free and quiet at the moment so I don’t really want to.
And I definitely don’t want to write on my exam, this class is the most boring one this far.
Guess I have to, I’m just going to take a little longer moment enjoying my morning first.
Checking in on day 15. I feel tired these days. Massive headache. Think its the weather… And it’s Monday. Feeling bleh today… Wishing everyone a happy sober start into this week
Coffee. I slept over ten hours. Wow. I clearly needed it. Luna’s a bit annoyed it took me so long to get up and feed her. Myself I’m Happy to wake up sober and clean and the is shining. Spring is slow in coming this year as we had a cold April so far. But coming it is. One day at a time. Three more second shifts and I’m off. Have a good week friends. Making it sober and clean is a big step towards that. Love from Amsterdam. Hoping the Rijksmusem (pictured) reopens soon.
Beautiful picture. It’s been cold here to this spring and some more snow is expected this week. I’m not impressed. Usually they travel companies have huge commercials over here this time a year, greet the spring in Amsterdam, look at the tulips during a long weekend. Fly to Paris and greet spring by the Eiffel tower. I’ve seen nothing this year,because of Covid-19.
It’s nice sleeping in sometimes I’ve read a study somewhere that it’s actually possible to take up on lost sleep during the weekends if you sleep a little longer once in a while, so I’m sure that’s good for all of us.
Hope your remaining shifts will be pleasant.
Started Day 8 happy and ready for the Day. So far soo good. Now I struggle not to drink. Really want to buy some wine and sit out in the Sun drink. I can smell and feel the taste. Having a hard time. Give me strength…
Day 311 clean and sober today. Yesterday was rough and sometimes the best I can do is just go to sleep and know the next day will be better. This morning I’m feeling better but needing to watch the thoughts that come into my mind and try not to let them get stuck. Have a great day everyone, love you guys
Happy Monday TS fam! Back to the grind today. I’m feeling much better and am staying positive. I have been so blessed and even though I go through hurdles especially with my health. I remain positive and know there will be better days. I hope you all have a wonderful week!
Hey everyone, checking in on day 309! I had a moment yesterday where I couldn’t believe I’ve made it this far lol, even staying sober for one day seemed so impossible when I was still drinking but here I am.
I hope everyone has a great start to their week! Love ya guys
Day 4. Back to work. Feeling distracted and a little sad, but eager to keep appreciating the small wins of the day and the opportunities ahead.
In 16 weeks from today I will be starting a new job in a brand new country and living there alone, away from everyone I love. I’m determined to be sober and strong by that point to help me stick to it after. Grateful to have exciting times ahead and to have made the decision to improve my life before them☀️
Monday! I was off work last week on vacay visiting my Mom, sis, and bro-in-law. At this very moment I am waiting the obligatory 15 minutes post second COVID vaccine to make sure I don’t keel over. I’ve joined the herd. Day 45 sober. Feeling great. Got up early and went to the gym. Sunny and 80 today in lovely Myrtle Beach! Have a great day all.
