• Revisiting the past

    So, in a little bit over a week I am traveling back to Germany, something I am nervous about & happy. It’s where I got very sick over 5 years ago, & it’ll be surreal to be back there & be healthy & stable. I think the trip will eye opening & fun.

    Years ago I would never think that I could go back to a place I was having such a tough time in but to see it with clear eyes & mind. I will be bringing something to write on as it was recommended to me & it’ll be a way for me to proess being there.

    It will be good to getaway for a little bit & see something else, like Brussels where I have never been. I hope to rent a bike & ride around the city while my sweetie is busy unfortunately working. I am looking forward to going to Frankfurt & shopping a little bit there.

    The babies, Flekk will be going back to the farm he was at this Spring when we traveled. He will running around like a little happy doggo. So he will be well taken care of.

    I am excited to be traveling again & no long haul flights this time. Yipeee!

  • end of the season

    As many of the you know, this particular tourist season was hell in the city I live in. Today, I write and tell you that the atrocious tents are coming down. Finally! I can actually walk to the incubation lab I work in, in less than 15 minutes. A few weeks ago it took me nearly 20 minutes just to cross town.

    Now,it takes almost half that, which is so great! I also scored a pair of olive green blundstones at a local store so I have lots of color choices for the Winter when & if it comes.

    The other thing that is on my mind, is the # of dog deaths keeps climbing & they don’t know the cause so our sweetie is at home quarantined until they figure it out. No, socializing with other doggo’s for now.

    The end of the Summer has been nice, we finally had people over for BBQ last weekend & it was fun & long. But it was fun to finally have someone over that hadn’t seen our house before.

    Other than that I am good, lots going on for which I won’t comment in the blog. You’ll just have to wait & see. Sorry for the long wait between entries, life has been pretty hectic.

  • running out

    The most disturbing thing to come out on the media this week is that we have essentially run out of food & resources to keep us alive on the planet. Something that is disturbing even though it’s true. By running out of natural resources so early in the year means that food in countries where I live will most likely go up price.

    Here in Norway they are thinking of marking food as good for the planet & so on. Something that should have happened years ago. I don’t think your frozen pizza fits in that catergory. Also, they are taking stock of what farmers are doing, & how they have contributed to global warming & the current climate crisis.

    I feel like I am sitting in a car or bus going thru a tunnel & I don’t have my seatbelt on. What will be at the other end of the tunnel scares me to think to about. What will we do when the true crisis strikes. I have heard some theories about that, like being on a boat in the ocean, there’s nothing left to fish but plastic. The ultra rich think that living in a bunker in the middle of nowhere is the solution.

    I wonder everyday what the planet will look like in 30 years, but at the rate we are going now that time may be a much closer than we’d like to think. Maybe I should start thinking about the world in dog years. For every year we live we spend resources for 7 of them. That means we’ll run out of resources Fast.

    It also means the globe may have a good 12 years left, instead of 30. No, we have pushed too hard on this world, & it’s had enough. I think in the end we will extinct ourselves by wasting the precious little we have left on food waste or a dump. Something half the globe has turned into.
