We finally have a new mattress, yay! I have been wanting a new one since I moved in with Jim (so, for 8 years). We kept saying that we’ll buy a new one once we move to a house. But, we’re not moving to a house anytime soon, the house plans have been postponed and postponed and years just go by. My back and neck has been killing me and I have been sleeping terribly for years
(ok, part of the reason is that we have 8 lbs of fluff in bed with us who likes to take my space and likes to kick me off the bed and I have to sleep in the weirdest positions and wake up a thousand times a night hahaha, and that cute problem is still there. However, since the quarantine started he has been extra snuggly so now he’s sleeping right in between us  by our chests instead of kicking my legs off) 🙂
Now, we finally decided to buy a new mattress anyway…. only to find out that all the waste stations are closed due to quarantine. We can’t get rid of the old mattress (really great timing to buy new stuff haha). So, we had to put the new mattress on top of the old one hahah! It’s like the “Princess and the pea” 😀

The mattress is really nice to sleep on, I have been sleeping so much better these past few weeks. I love a really firm bed, like the rock hard beds in hotels, while J wants it super soft and foamy. We got a mattress that is somewhere in the middle of the scale of soft/firm, a 6 I think (10 being the firmest). We figured it’s probably not that good for you to sleep on those rock hard beds for too long, so this feels perfect, we both got what we wanted:) Of course, the bed is a bit extra wobbly now since the old mattress underneath the new one is rounded on top, but twisting and turning feels great, I don’t wake up by J’s or T’s every move anymore.

(now we just need to get rid of the pot smoking neighbors who seems to only have energy to do stuff in the middle of the night. Thor and I wake up every night these days from them screaming, laughing, organizing or just running around well past 2 am and then several times a day and night our bedroom (and the hallway outside our apartment) stinks of all sorts of different types of smoke, it’s nasty and gives me a massive headache. And we have no idea how the smell comes into our apartment. Unfortunately I can’t prove that it’s them, so what can we do..?)

PJ Life and Puppy Snuggle time

Hi readers! I have written several posts the past week, but they all feel so negative and a bit too honest, so I haven’t published them. I don’t want to bring more negativity, we all have enough of that as it is. But I have so many thoughts and questions and I can’t seem to be able to write about anything else, and when my brain is exploding I turn to dance and writing as my therapy.
I am scared of the future. And I am really sad about it. 

If you have an extra minute, I would like to know if I should continue to just write what’s on my mind, or should I only post when there is something positive to post about? Please let me know by writing a comment on this post.
I also want to know if any of you would like me to give tips on how to stay active at home during this time or if you want me to create for example sequences for dance/yoga/pilates to do at home. I do after all know some stuff and I’m happy to share 😉 

How’s everyone doing? Climbing on walls yet?
We are doing fine. I still enjoy being home🤸🏼‍♀️
Five weeks down of…who knows how many…
I’m trying to find some positive things in all this. Like, it’s quite outside, way less traffic, everyone’s nice (at a distance of course) and I get to snuggle my puppy a lot💙🐾 I also get to be around my husband all day every day – even if he is working more than ever right now.
It’s the little things, I’m trying to enjoy this time even if it’s hard for us all. I hope you are doing ok and I wish you all a wonderful day!

Ruff Days

Every day feels like something else these days. It can be Friday or Tuesday or Dogday or Barulbaday or Smuschyday, it doesn’t matter, every day is the same (and please don’t ask me what those days are, I made them up). Or, ok, the weekends are still different since my husband and I can enjoy coffee together instead of in front of our computers in the morning. But J still checks the news all weekend and keeps himself updated about everything going on in the world, because he has to. 

Fifth week now of isolation and distancing. We are not crawling on the walls yet, but after a weekend of heavy rain and a grumpy puppy, it is definitely harder. J has been nice and been taking T out all weekend so I haven’t actually left the apartment since Friday. I was out for a quick potty with T this morning, felt nice to get some fresh air, but the dog area that is part of our building was covered in poop, not fun at all. I don’t understand, how hard is it to pick up after your dog? 

So what did we do this weekend? I actually don’t remember hahah. We watched a movie, did yoga, cooked food, played with Thor and all this toys, I cleaned the apartment, played pc games.

Jim and I did yoga together

Maybe because we didn’t do anything and didn’t even go outside this weekend, it does feels a little bit more like a Monday today. Last night I tried to make myself some sort of ‘schedule’. It’s easy to just have days fly by and do all those things on the ToDo lists whenever you feel like it…and when you’re just at home there’s a chance you don’t feel like doing them haha. And if we have to stay at home for another month, I think it’s a good idea to have a more structured day to day living.
J works 10-12 hours or so every day so I have to adjust some of the things on my ToDo so I’m not in the way (like, no vacuuming and not load/unload dishwasher when he’s working cause he’s on the phone making deals and whatnot). Normally I would just do something on my list whenever I can do them, but now I have to adjust, so a “schedule” might help. I’m excited to test it out this week:)
