Overcoming My Own Mind Life is all about overcoming obstacles and I would like to share an obstacle I am currently trying to overcome and am at the verge of overcoming I think. So back to what happened: in October 2021 we were on vacation in the UK and driving in the car when I suddenly felt unwell. Like seriously unwell. I had trouble breathing, my heart rate shot up to 150 while I was just sitting and my hands and face were tingling. I ended up in the hospital where I got…

April Earnings of a Small Fish Do you ever wonder what common people without huge piles of money make in passive income? Well this is the place to be!! I, teacher, currently not investing any of my own money in crypto will show you what I manage to make each month to enlarge my pile of crypto currencies. So I know this is a bit late, as we are 9 days into the new month, but I was on vacation and you know, relaxing is important! So also because of said vacation and because of…

Pressing Pause on My Best Year Time is a funny and fickle thing isn't it? When you want it to go slow it usually flies by, especially during vacations and great weather. When you want it to go quicker it usually comes to a grinding halt. Like at night when you can't sleep or during an insanely boring work meeting. Wouldn't it be amazing if we could bend time to our will? If I could I know exactly what I would do, I would pause time in the year 2013. It was 2013, I had just…

Soul: A Pixar Masterpiece Last week I got a prescription for Disney+ and so a world of Pixar opened for me! I decided to watch Soul, the Pixar movie that got raving reviews but somehow I had not seen it yet. And let me tell you, it is worth a watch as the movie has Soul in two different ways!

The Invention To End My Biggest Annoyance I have a big annoyance in this world, you will probably find it silly, but ey, isn't life just silly? I will give you an example of my annoyance: last weekend in was the Eurovision Song contest. I was at a friends place to watch the contest and drink some beers. While she was struggling to get a banana bread out of the oven and slice it, I decided I might as well make myself useful and turn the TV on so we wouldn't have to miss…

When I Became A Couch Potato So I have a confession to make, this past winter I have become a true couch potato. To be fair I already started to become a semi-potato before that during the whole covid lockdowns. But last winter I really just gave up on pretending not to be a couch potato. I got pneumonia in the fall and the recovery took forever and in the mean time I just sat on the couch and didn't move... Source…

Splinterlands Weekly Battle: Cruel Sethropod Gets His First Use This weeks card for the weekly battle is the Cruel Sethropod. I have to say that until now I had never used this card, so it was a good chance to explore how useful this card could be for me! The Cruel Sethropod is a common water card. It has one attack, one speed, 4 health and a shield of 3. So the health and protection are pretty good, but the attack and speed are pretty bad. I therefore decided to put this…

Educated: Sometimes Real Life Is More Shocking Than A Novel This year I have set myself the challenge to read 52 books in 2022 or one book a week. This is a decent challenge but I am very excited about it! Book number 16 was Educated by Tara Westover. I read a lot of fiction, but I picked up this non-fiction book after my fiance read it and loved it. And I have to say, it is one of the best reads I have had in a long while! Source…
