Since my last journal from January 2017 a lot has happened in my offline life. Some of the bigger things are that loved ones died, I changed jobs twice (within the company I've been working at for 8 years now), and I've found a special guy. Due to me changing jobs again recently, I'll be going back to school as well (NEVI), I'm also trying to be with this special guy quite often and also try to focus more on myself at the same time. I don't do much online anymore, since I spend most of my working days sitting in front of screens, I like to try and move more instead of sitting even more. I've been paying more attention to my FitBit, trying to get at least 5000 steps per day, preferably more of course but that's pretty much my minimum. I'm also trying to pay more attention to eating more healthy due to the blood pressure, but me and Mr. Special like to go out as well. Restaurants, cinema's, etc.

I'll be getting back into photography when Spring comes. It's an annual thing now that Winter just bursts my bubble of photography mojo. I just fucking hate winter, cold, ice, snow.. ugh. Can't wait for new life, green leaves, flowers, even insects. The cute ones anyway.

Also. My dog died of old age last November. He was 16,5. I miss him dearly. My parents recently got a puppy. He's a cute silly bouncy ball. I'm sure I'll take (more) photographs when he's a bit bigger and can sit still for a couple seconds. And Spring.

I'm here every other day or so, checking some messages and trying to keep up with Nederlanders , but I'm noticing more and more that I log on less and less here. If you want to contact me, message me on Facebook or WhatsApp. If you don't have my contact information but feel you need to/want to/should have it, send me a note. Or of course contact me when you already have my number or we're already friends on Facebook
Also, I haven't been neglecting my friends here, although it feels that way sometimes. Life just happens. For all of us. We might not talk often, but I miss it and I appreciate all of our conversations. You know who you are. You matter to me. A lot.

Oh, I had no idea that there is a Mr. Special. But I am very happy to hear that!
And it's not bad to spent time away from the screen/internet. If it feels right and good, DO IT! Enjoy it and have lots of fun

Haha, hardly anyone knows to be honest. It's kind of a 'weird' situation that we're in, but I don't want to say too much about that here If you want to know we can of course WhatsApp

I will do, hon. We suck at resolutions, but I'm glad that we still keep in touch. You're a very dear friend to me

Thanks, Jon! Same goes to you of course

Anoya In reply to frostfire101 [2018-03-16 18:42:07 +0000 UTC]

My photography will be back. Mr Special wants to go on hikes and urges me to bring my camera and gear

The loss of my dog was really awful. But he was getting so old, so fast. A couple weeks berfore he was still jumpy and happy. In a few weeks we saw his body getting too old for the puppy mind he had and he started to loose his happy spark. It was his time and I'm 'glad' we were able to do it as a family.

Anoya In reply to BWilliamWest [2018-03-16 18:39:23 +0000 UTC]

It only happened to me once that I had green stars on everything. I'm sure it will happen more often when the weather is nicer again

Which FitBit do you have?

It's a charge 2. Took a while to get used to wearing it every day, but really like all the information it collects.

Anoya In reply to BWilliamWest [2018-03-28 15:18:10 +0000 UTC]

I have this one as well. I especially like the sleeping patterns and the fact that it motivates me to take at least 250 steps an hour, since I work at an office.
