I got all the motivation here:

– Starting a new job in an hour? ✓
– moving on past stupid crushes? ✓

  1. I just woke up and already nauseous from all the anxiety I have. Lately the environment at my work has become very toxic and everyday I’m an anxious mess worrying about it. Weekend was good though, did basically nothing all two days which was needed to reset my mind a bit.

  2. So there still are cars parked everywhere – in the middle of the road, on the roundabout, … – this morning. But now they’re towing them away.

    It might have to do with that ambulance that was stuck for a solid five minutes trying to cross that roundabout. I hope whoever called it could hold up.

  3. Had a nice first bike ride of the year yesterday.

    Really want to get back to the gym but Meniere’s been on and off insanely lately. Thank fuck the bikeride went smooth 😀

  4. I should not have watched the first lap of the Spanish GP yesterday. I jinxed it for Lando 🙁

    I’ve been talking to a few women on dating apps lately. Seems I’ve got really lucky the past weeks with matching, somehow, even though I didn’t really change anything on my dating accounts, but I’ll take it. It’s quite interesting to see the different dynamics though. With one of them I can have a natural conversation, we both ask each other questions, pick up on what the other is saying, … . then another is a bit less like that, but still enjoyable, but very irregular. Though I haven’t heard from her for over a week, so I guess I’m being ghosted. Which is a shame because I thought we had a good thing going, but eh, shit happens I guess. And then the last one is very hard to get a conversation started. I try with open questions, picking up on things she said, but her responses are all so short and it’s really hard to keep the conversation going without feeling that it’s an interview.

  5. I need to do my thesis defence for a second time today, because my promotor wasn’t available the first time. Kinda sucks, but the first time went great so it should be fine.

  6. With Maai Mij Niet finished it seems grass has kicked in overdrive and started releasing pollen everywhere. Time to get drugged up.

  7. Now that our daughter is able to ride a bicycle, I went for the first run with my entire family since forever. Daughter on the bike, wife and I running laps around the local park. So much fun. And since she’s not going very fast yet, perfect to keep the pace in check to stay within Zone 2. Win win!

  8. Yesterday my hayfever got so bad that I had to stay inside because I started to have problems breathing.

    Today I’m staying in side as much as humanly possible. I don’t have a sinus rinse but I’ll try to pick one up tonight on my way home.

    Everyone thinks I’m sick. I’m not. I’m just dying from the grass pollen.

  9. Is there a way to avoid the bpost ransom for things from outside the EU? Forgot my watch in my airbnb in a recent trip to the UK, had the guy send it back to me but now bpost wants me to pay them 33 euro as customs duties on my own things. Is it worth contesting or should I just pay?

  10. Yay you!

    I had quite a good mondaymorning as well. Everybody in my team showed up to work today!

    And they are all sober! … as far as I can tell (I work in Deurne)

  11. Life is pretty ironic. My dad was one of those guys who believes that if you work hard in something you are gonna appreciate it more.

    So there I was probably 7 years old carrying rolls of grass up a hill to plant it in our huge ass garden, like, really huge. And mowing the lawn in the weekends. And plucking the weeds. And planting the plants etc. A decade or more working outside so I appreciate *the house*.

    Then you move to the city and spend two decades between concrete buildings, asphalt and stuff. And as soon as I move to Belgium in an apartment next to some lawn and some trees, I develop a fuckin pollen allergy.

    I see the little white speck of a nemesis floating, eager to get into my eyes. And I remember all those useless (immunity-wise) years in that huge ass lawn, while I copiously sneeze.

  12. Got sick this weeking. But at the same time thinking i may have also developped a allergy to pollsen so yay…

    Also doing the last checks to start my side buisiness so thats also motivational. Just verry happy im able to work from home today

  13. So I forgot to turn of my garden hose overnight that was watering my potatoes..

    And now I drained my rainwaterpit, which probably was already getting low, and there´s no damn rain in sight.

    Fuck me

  14. Question for anyone who has any idea about it:

    I’m not a big big wine person, but a while ago I went on a work trip where at some restaurant a bottle of red was opened that I found particularly tasty. I made note of the brand and model (for lack of … the correct terms xD) and am considering buying some, but the price is on the high side for me (I’m used to buying 3 euro bottles, 6-7 is splurging xD), these are 9.4 a bottle… Not the end of the world, but in a way it feels a lil crazy spending 90 euros on 9 bottles of wine.

    Thoughts? If … that’s possible about such a general and personal statement xD [Link to the bottle in question](https://www.vinello.be/i-tratturi-primitivo-puglia-cantine-san-marzano?number=70342-IT-RW-PR-501-12)

  15. Moving at work Monday. Moved my desk to a whole different part of our building. Everything is new and scary and chaotic. 10/10 would not recommend.

  16. I am motivated to come home after this day, open up a cold one and sit myself down in my lounge in the garden and listen to some lofi lounge music while the grill is working on some sausages.

  17. Where can I complain that my “no commercial folders” sticker keeps getting ignored by the local Aldi and Intratuin? Every single fucking week/month I get folders from them. I’m sick of it.

  18. Me this morning: well yay food poisoning is over in time for work.
    Me later today on the work toilet: guess it isn’t.

    Hope I can make it home without problems. Not a clue what did this either. My partner is just fine.

  19. i have my mondeling evaluatie tonight and I have no idea how it is going to go. 2.1

    I have progressed on my reading and listening, and a bit with my writing. But speaking? I’m still in
    “Twee bolletjes speculoos” not being understood yesterday.

  20. My ophthalmologist started to do this automatic thing for the reimbursement to the mutuel. Great I thought because no more that awful paper…. The problem is that in the mutuel report only the conventional price is mentioned. The doctors don’t transmit what I paid. So if I send this to my insurance they will think I paid 40€ instead of the 60€ I really paid. Anyone knows how to deal with this? Thanks

  21. Three months since the hard break-up with my ex and I am getting my focus for work and life back.
    Feels great to actually be able to focus on work again and be motivated for it for once.
