- Saving my 100th list to the archive.
- Grapefruit soap.
- My day off. Sleeping until 1pm, having an epic brunch with eggs, cheese, tomatoes, yoghurt, apples, coffee and orange juice; watching Gilmore Girls in bed. Thinking about going out to buy a sketchbook and perfume.
- These two songs from You've Got Mail are stuck with me for weeks now...
- Roasted everything. Onions, pumpkin, potatoes, eggplant, tomatoes, cheese... NOM. So moreish.
- Fresh laundry smells SO good. Especially with Mrs Peters' secret laundry detergent.
- Frank on emergency phone call duty. Thank you.
- Tea. Why don't I drink more tea?!
- 10-year-olds working with glitter powder. Oh my.
- Haribo "Bärchen-Pärchen".
- Playing cards with my friends for hours. Winning.
- Having to leave the highway RIGHT BEFORE a massive traffic jam! Awesome!
- Things that make me more sane/myself again, like sitting in bed, making huge posters, watching stupid shows. Personal art therapy!
- Birthday dinner with "family" members, talking about the old times, taking some photos.
- Getting two tiny crystals from my mum.
- Travel memorabilia .
- A friend told me that my supervisor actually likes me and praises me to the moon behind my back! How unexpected! All I ever hear is criticism!
- Also: my new boss really praises me as well. Apparently I don't do everything wrong! What the hell is going on?!
- [21:57:22] Frank: "Ich habe dich wirklich lieb" / [21:58:19] Kathi: "Heißt das, du nimmst meinen Heiratsantrag an?"
- Amazing homemade pasta with pumpkin and pecorino-fig filling at LebensArt. Eating with new colleagues.
- My new black boots. I also got a second pair, apparently for free? Must have been a mix-up.
- Inventing the "caress rape" concept.
- An evening with five gin tonics, a weird Jack Daniels contest, talking to Manu about his travels, being a freak-magnet, rather good music, weird dancing with Fabi.
- Frank talking honestly about some of the shit he's got going on. And he told me that there is a lot more right with me than wrong.
- Late breakfast with Klaus. Spending the afternoon on the sofa, having a music quiz, talking. A passionate kiss goodbye.
- Oh and the very uplifting effect kissing (or rather the memory of it) has on a gloomy Monday.
- Egg salad and pretzels.
- You're the Worst is my new favourite TV show. It's hilarious and sex-positive and all the good things you could think of asking.
- A student of mine keeps performing the Imperial March for me every time I enter the classroom.
- Spiced cherry-chocolate cake and coffee to go. Felt almost christmassy.
- My whiteout pen!!
- The fact that I'm starting to feel a little more comfortable being on my own.
- Making a really nice advent calendar for Frank.
- Eating out alone at LebensArt (I had caponata! They make amazing food there).
- Watching tiny birds picking at my bird food balls on the balcony.
- A letter from my mum and a little something for my name day.
- My favourite kind of pasta with spicy tomato sauce, eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers and fresh mozzarella.
- Jultomten wrapping paper and roasted almonds.
- Posting on Instagram was something I enjoyed lately.
- Cheesy fairy lights. Cinnamon candles. Fresh orange juice. Homemade pizza. Reading in bed. Just snuggling up alone, thinking, doing nothing. A productive weekend. And oh, all that important mail I shipped off!
- Gilmore Girls 5x16 - final scene. Luke knocks on Lorelai's door while she's watching Judy Garland singing The One that Got Away . She opens the door and he says nothing, he simply kisses her. Perfect. Also: The Tarantino party in 5x17!
- Not talking to Frank for a few days. Makes me feel less anxious. I miss him like crazy but actually seeing him makes me fall apart sometimes.
- Taking charge. Doctor's appointments. Stuff.
- Dating a male bambi. The prospect of making out with the male bambi. And yet: why are the only men interested in me those I don't really fancy?!
