Snöleoparden

Snow. Snow and lots and lots of it! This was my morning.
I was so happy at first, but then I thought about the one thing I had planned this day: Running. Damn. But as it turned out it was a very pleasant run afterall. Great turnout considering the weather conditions and I finished the 5k in 31 minutes which I think wasn't too bad :)
Slippery as shit though!

I looked at the snow. What a waste it would be if I just placed myself in front of a screen and relaxed. So I granbed my phone and made a plan with my friend. Going sledging and forrest exploring!
I showed her my all time favorite place in the area I live. It's so secluded and extremely beautiful when it snows (or has snowed). I love the place. It's a little forrest in the fields. In the middle it has a lake and fox holes in the hill. When inside the trees block out every sound and all you hear is your own breath and the birds.

Lovely snow. How it muffles the sounds of the world and creates a time in space where everything is silenced. A state of perfection.

Saturdays

Why spend them like everybody else? I'd eat my old hat few people choose to spend their Saturday (day off) on the high way driving 7 hours south just to pick up a car and drive 7 hours north afterwards. Most people are now logically thinking 'why would I? It seems like a lot of bother for nothing at all'.
Maybe it is.
I guess I just enjoy the ride. The rain pounding hard in the windscreen, the speed, the scenery flashing by. Some of which I recognize, some of which I don't.

My parents wished I had my permit then I could have driven some of the distance....


Yesterday I went to the beach and woods. I fed deer and enjoyed a couple choosing another exit because I had assembled a lot of deer and stags at the gates. They didn't look pleased, but come on it's not lile they attack you just for walking into ther middle.
I guess they were scared by the post from the authorities that the stags are rutting. Pff :)

Coffee's gonna keep me going

Loooong day ahead. Just finished work #1. Coming up next work, then a job interview and last, but deffinetely not least, volounteer work at the cafe.
Right now I have about an hour to just sit back, relax and enjoy my already finished cup of coffee.

Can't help but feel a little hipster as I sit at the coffee shop, blogging and being the odd one out.

Yesterday I was at the cafe too. Covering for a friend. Then I had to run this errand just before the shops closed. Some kind of eco flour. They. Just. Didn't. Have. It. ANYWHERE......
I ran all the way across the city in hope the next health store would have it, but no.. And since I thought it was just around the corner I hadn't worn my jacket.
There I was, running the streets like a loon in my waitress uniform. A sight for sore eyes indeed.

I felt the cold on the way back. Beaten, slightly panting and flourless.

The Bell Jar

The days to come. Overcome?

I feel like every single day requires this effort in order to survive. I get up, get dressed, go to work, do something spontanious and then I get home, stay up late and eventually go to bed.

I've toyed with the thought of not sleeping. I know I would never make it that far, but it would be interesting.
Tomorrow I cover a shift for my friend. Totally screws up my own schedual, but I felt I couldn't say no. Stupid.

I got a Swiss army knife today. It's green and pretty, but only has three functions; knife, scissors and screwdriver.
I think I'll wish for one with more functions later. Could be pretty usefull.

The wait

I hear these sirens coming in and out of ear shot. They make me uncomfortable. He didn't say the words "don't worry" he just said he'd be home later than expected. I'm not worrying that much, but why did she have to point out he could call me even though he was involved?
This shook my bulletproof certainty.

Turning up the volume tuning out the ambulance.

I scream ice cream

Nothing like raw ice cream on a slow day such as today.

What a lovely time to wait

Now it's finally here! The beautiful snow I've been waiting for all Winter! There is little which can beat listening to Kent while walking amongst snowcovered landscapes. It's some of the best I know!

Tonight I'm going to an ice rink with my friend. Looking very much forward to it! Now I just have to go to work.

Hope everybody is as excited about the weather as I am!

..Quite good right now.

I decided to join my friend on a raw January. So far it's nice and I feel great, happy and extremely motivated to comtinue. It may be expensive in the long run, but I don't mind.
It's funny how much my friend cares about getting enough iron eating like this. Never been a concern of mine really. I'll know if I'm anaemic as soon as they tell me I can't donate blood anymore. No stress.

I got a new job and kinda like it.

I'm starting to see an old friend of mine a lot lately. It's odd simce we kinda stopped having our "special bond" about a year ago. I like seeing her though. It's like nothing ever happened. Except topics have changed a bit. Living an entire weekend only on smoothies is a crazy idea of ours. We may actually do it. Lock ourselves up in a room only leaving it to make a visit to the toilet.
