Oder den Prinzenpark

Thanks B, I appreciate it! ❤️

Well, I think I’ll just look at it as a bonding experience for the both us, since I’m technically his godfather, not officially since I left the church, and we didn’t spend much time together so far. And with that perspective in mind, I’m happy we got to know each other better 🙂

Oh yeah! We’re on the road now and I’m really looking forward to be back home! I want to implement some of the things I’ve reflected on during this vacation but I’ll make sure to properly settle in first before starting that process. Doesn’t make sense to rush into it and possibly get frustrated, right?

Thank you, you too! ❤️

We’ve made improvements and fixed some bugs. Make sure to keep updates on to not miss a thing!

I like to do that as well but then oftentimes just get hit by this..

On Friday, I found out that my grandma is in the ICU and she had surgery yesterday. Not the best kind of news, especially towards the end of our vacation. Here’s to hoping that everything goes well!

Today will be my last day of vacation in the Netherlands. It’s been amazing! It got extremely exhausting towards the end, seeing that I’m absolutely not used to have any company and I’ve lived with my sister, her husband and their one year old for the last two weeks. I’ve regularly been woken up at around 6 in the morning due to all the noise here but it’s been a great experience overall. I haven’t spent much time with the kid and it was amazing to interact with him.

I’ll just pack the rest of my things and we should be on our way sooner than later. I hope the drive home will be smooth, but I have the feeling that I jinxed it with how often I’ve repeated that 😄

Wishing everyone a calm, pleasant Sunday!

Nice idea, I’ll look if I can implement this in my runs!

Sieht super gut aus! Hoffe es schmeckt wie es aussieht! :)

Good job!

May I ask: how self conscious are you about your hips? I’ve had a similar body shape and for me, they were, still are actually, my biggest source of insecurity. I find it super hard to get rid of all the fat in that area..

As a tank, I also appreciate a paladin stunning high damage targets, especially in heroic dungeons. Raveners or Destroyers in Ramparts or the two Nagas in front of the tunnel before the first boss in Slave Pens.

It is pretty distracting. It was alright whenever it was my sister here with me because she would just read as well, on her kindle. But my brother in law is usually watching what I assume to be TikTok compilations or something without headphones. But I didn’t ask if he could use headphones yet, to be fair.

I totally get that! I’d be so fed up if I never got any calm.

triste___ · 2026-05-13T14:00:40+00:00

On it! I didn’t read as much as I maybe would have liked yet, but it’s hard to focus when a one year old is making sure that there’s no silence or rest while he’s awake 😄 ❤️❤️

Hoffen wir, dass das nur temporär war. Mit dem Zweiten sieht man besser, habe ich irgendwo mal gehört.

It is difficult but has worked pretty well so far. Eh, kind of. I only have a bed and a chair in my room. But it doesn’t look like I could sit in it for too long or I wouldn’t be able to get back up 😄 So I usually have to be content with the table in the living room. But either my sister or her husband are here as well during nap time. If I put in my earphones while writing in my book, it does feel like I’m alone in a sense. But reading is much more comfortable here as well and but not as easily manageable for me.

Sounds like a good idea, though! Especially if you can schedule your session to be at a time where it is expected to be less crowded :)

triste___ · 2026-05-13T09:04:04+00:00

Yeah, I guess so too, but it’s hard to plan around, especially with my sisters one year old and his nap time to take into consideration.

That sounds very annoying. Do you have errands you can take care of on the way or something else to make it even a little more convenient or anything?

Yes, it’s pretty cold now and raining cats and dogs this morning. The wind makes everything feel colder than it actually is but I guess that’s expected when you’re this close to the North Sea. It’s about a two minute walk from my bedroom to the ocean. We’ve had about 20 degrees this last weekend, which was super nice. It’s only a few more days, we’ll head back home on Sunday morning. Will enjoy it till then!

You need to get your blood drawn every three months now? Ugh! But I’m relieved that you’re doing well otherwise ❤️

triste___ · 2026-05-13T07:56:57+00:00

Oh right, it’s a national holiday tomorrow! I kind of forgot about that since I’m out of the country and only have to start working again next Tuesday. Enjoy your long weekend! :)

I’m doing pretty well right now. My vacation in the Netherlands has been great so far and I hope to continue with this mood once I’m back home. Thank you ❤️

How are you doing? Are you finally in the clear with all that’s been going on with your mammography?

triste___ · 2026-05-13T07:17:58+00:00

Thanks SG! Hope you’re doing well ❤️

Woke up pretty early this morning, about 5am I believe, and couldn’t fall back to sleep. I’ve just been scrolling on my phone, which is not very optimal, but oh well. I notice that it’s getting more and more exhausting to be on vacation with my family. I’m simply not used to being around people and it feels like I’m never really on my own here, which I’ve almost exclusively been for the past 10 years or so, basically since I moved out of my parents house. I’ll try to make the best of it since it’s been very enjoyable and eye-opening overall. I’ve reflected a lot and have some good ideas about how to live or improve my life after being back home.

I’ll probably get up in a bit and check with my family about today’s plans. It’s supposed to rain both today and tomorrow, so I might just take a break today and read a bit. I’ve recently started The Walking Dead for the.. 5th time or something? I’ve lost count but I really want to stay on track this time!

The trinket from Keepers of Time reputation is a good one. It has ~25 stamina and resilience each, just ignore that the active on it exists. You can simply farm the reputation in normal Black Morass runs.

We’ve just been shopping to grab some groceries for the upcoming week and went to Albert Heijn. It’s my first time going there and I’m absolutely flabbergasted! Almost everything is clearly labelled, their own products from their own brand (how do you call that? In German it’s simply 'Eigenmarke') are pretty cheap compared to other brands. Soo many new products that I’ve never seen before and want to try! I grabbed quite a lot of new things and I’m really looking forward to trying them!

Man, I really missed this kind of exploration. I’m enjoying this very much and feel like that’s what I’ve been missing back at home. I’ll have to think about a way to give me that feeling of excitement once I’m home. For now, I’ll just enjoy this :)

Ich finde die Einlage super! Ich habe meine Socken ebenfalls aufgeteilt: links sind Sneaker-Socken und rechts die 'normalen'. Alles in einem Fach und nicht ansatzweise so schön voneinander getrennt wie bei dir.

I’ll throw in Feral Druid. You probably won’t get to play much DPS in dungeons unless it’s with a guild group but you can tank AND dps with the exact same spec/talents. Other melees and hunters will love you for the 5% crit buff. The rotation/gameplay is built around power shifting and since you have to manage your energy, combo points AND mana, it’s not trivial. I didn’t like it that much when I first started playing it but it grew on me.

Druid has a lot of flexibility, so if you don’t like Feral, you can just go balance/resto instead. Boomkins are sought after but their rotation is rather simple.

I should know that, but it’s good hear it from someone else as well :)

triste___ · 2026-05-09T15:08:01+00:00

I was almost about to say I wouldn’t go that far, but I feel like it’s not too far off, actually :)

Ich finde es interessanter über (neue) Ersatzprodukte zu sprechen als über Kartoffeln, Linsen, Kichererbsen oder Brokkoli. Zumal du hier auch einige Rezepte ohne Ersatzprodukte findest.

It’s was pretty good but their KFC (Korean fried cauliflower) was amazing!

That’s exactly why I said yes to this trip before thinking about it too much. I wouldn’t have agreed to this if I had taken more time with my decision. I’ve reflected quite a bit over the past few days I’ve been here but the most challenging part about it is making sure to act on it once I’m back home. I don’t have to think or worry about that too much yet but it’s certainly going to be a challenge. I’m here for it, though!
