We are not out and about much these days and haven’t been for a few weeks now (better safe than sorry 😊) and of course Mr Fluff isn’t too happy about that. I try to take him for longer walks around lunch every day cause it’s usually not much going on in this city in the middle of the day and then keep all other walks very short and away from people.
I wish I could explain to him why we can’t be close to and social with every single person we meet – which is his absolute favorite thing to do, he loves everyone and he knows they love him back:) Oh I wish he could understand me sometimes. But at least he enjoys our long walks and he’s also extra snuggly these days♡

Jim has to work from home today and possibly stay home for awhile now due to the virus, so last night after he finished work he went to buy a new monitor for his desk. A curved one, bigger than the new one he recently bought. I should be happy that it’s just one more screen hahah, at work he has 4 of them on his desk. It actually does look pretty nice though. The new monitor is curved and is quite nice to look at:) 

To something completely different. Last night as I was waiting for J to come home with take-out, I was in the bedroom with Thor. Suddenly I heard a scream and a dog squeaking. I looked out the window and saw a car stopped in the middle of the road right outside us and one of the two pomeranians in our neighborhood (they live in a building across the street) behind the car. The owner was holding the other pom and just stood there screaming. I quickly ran to living room and opened the balcony door to follow what was going on. There were already plenty of people involved so I didn’t have to go down and help. But oh shit, I just cried and cried watching what was happening. The owner was a complete idiot though – he picked the dog up and carried it around (probably in shock but still) and poor thing, if the dog wasn’t dead already it probably died when the guy was just throwing it around. Anyway.. eventually someone directed him to follow so they could get in a car and drive to the vet ER. It was so horrific to witness this. Images of this happening to Thor was flashing by in my head and I was just crying uncontrollably. When J came home he thought that someone in my family had died in the way I was acting. But a dog dying, no matter who’s dog it is, it’s horrible. This was the second dog I’ve seen die in my life and I never want to see that again. Good thing Thor will live forever:)
But this is why I always put reflection vests or use some other reflection on the leash or on Thor at night. I really don’t trust drivers in Connecticut (CT people are really bad drivers) – however I don’t think it was the drivers fault last night, I don’t blame him, I’m just saying, it’s good to be careful. J doesn’t put anything on Thor when they go out at night and it scares me. Better be safe than crying your eyes out later. 

Hahah, Thor looks so different here – NYC, 2017

Beautiful sky on Saturday ♥

Because of the virus, we aren’t doing much these days. We take Thor for walks, we cook food and we watch tv, that’s about it. We are trying to enjoy each others company and our home. This weekend was pretty nice and relaxing. Jim was working from home on Friday so it really felt more like a three-day-weekend. On Saturday we went to the gym and in the evening I decided to bake chocolate muffins, I made a nice pasta pesto and then we played Risk. Jim won for once. I wanted to play again so that I could win but he wanted to watch Svengoolie (he’s really into that these days). Oh well, we had a nice night. 
On Sunday I finished reading a book and then was playing games on the computer basically all day haha. It was really nice weather outside though so we sat on our terrace for the first time this year for maybe an hour until it got too windy. Finally getting closer to spring, yay!
We didn’t really notice the change of the time this weekend since most of our clocks are digital and updates themselves. The coffee maker and Jim’s alarm clock was the only two that confused us:) I did however somehow notice it yesterday, so tired in the afternoon. But I don’t know if it was caused by the daylight savings or the stress around everything that is going on right now. J’s phone went bananas on Sunday night (everyone in the finance world is freaking out) and he’s super busy at work now. Will be interesting to see what will happen in the world from now on.

7 years later, my answer is still “of course”🥰

Seven years ago, I came home from dance class to eat my lunch there before going back for tech rehearsal. I had all these super strong feelings towards Jim and decided to write it in an email – a modern love letter:)
I felt so in love and he needed to hear it❤
When he read it he had freaked out a little bit, he thought that I had somehow figured out what was going to happen that day. But I had no idea that he had planned to propose to me that evening💕
I love you and I like you, and of course I’ll be your ‘poof’ forever🥰💗💍

And fun fact: it says POOF 2013 inside our rings😊

Even if we are probably gonna end up living here for another year or so, I have already started to clean out our apartment. I. Don’t. Get. Where. It. All. Comes. From! Really, where does all the crap we have come from, how did we end up with this much stuff? The sad thing is (or good thing, I don’t know) that I really like a lot of the little stuff we have and I keep thinking of where it will be placed once we have a house, but for now it’s just clutter. I have no space to have it out to enjoy some of it so it’s just packed in boxes taking up space in our storage room. And all the boxes drives me crazy, same when we lived in the apartments on Manhattan. We had no storage then but some of those (big) boxes we just couldn’t get rid of cause we needed them for when moving (like special boxes for computers and such that you can’t really buy when moving). So, in a way we don’t really have stuff, we just have boxes with boxes in boxes hahah. Or, no, ok, we have a lot of crap as well:)

My sister has just found out that they got a new place to move into in a couple of months and I told her to start packing and sort their things out right away. You always end up stressed out packing in the last minute either way, so the more you can deal with stuff before the better. When I was pregnant we really thought that we were gonna move “soon” and I started to declutter already then. But then shit happened and the whole moving and house hunting process was put on hold. I still have no idea of when we can get out of here, it might be a few years, but I want to be prepared for whenever that happens 😀
