In the past this meant i'd be doing a little reflection on the past year.. since its already the second of January, i am reinstating this old habit - but here i go..
nothing relevant much really, due do some fever clingin on this world like a b*tch.
Sara's 2021...
Family - love...
Still in love with hubby and the kids T and A!
T already a man of 6 years old..
A already a woman of 4 years old.
a bit of polarization in my family, the family's heavily divided between us with the vaccination shit. yeah, were riding that road too... what doesnt' change is this rollercoaster ride with idiots and fools. Who is right? who is wrong? we'll never know...
House - renovations...
yay! In february 2021 we finally moved back to our house.. yay!
but we still got too much to do, whereas I was expecting it would all be through.. now my fears really do come true - I always thought i wouldn't do any heavy renovations while there are kids running around... too bad - there are kids running around between this shitty renovations... i feel so very sorry for them.
now we are steadily working to the finish line;. although that might be in a couple of years.. (unless we finally win the lottory)
in april 2022 we'll get a new terrace outside.. yay...
too bad it's just we have to choose everytime for one thing and I actually desperately want a room for T.. to have his own place... i sometimes feel a little pity that the kids sleep together in one room.. but i don't know, he doesn't mind too, i think, i guess..
At that rate I guess we're still doing renovations till the kids are in their late teens..
I actually don't want to this anymore.. but hey- am terribly stuck on this coaser for a loooooooong fucking ride still to come..
Sometimes it just feel like a prison or something and then i just want to sell the whole shit, but.. then you think - who will buy this unfinished house in the state it is? We would never get all of our investing back.. so yes. stuck. it is...
work - related....
everything good - own class - own boss - good collegues - the kids are getting crazier by the minute - the parents too.. or could it just be me? :P
I even got a second job now.. y'aaaas.. i'm on payroll baby! :D I work at a (fancy) restaurant as waitress..
movies and tv....
yes! THFN!!
Don't you know?
THANK GOD FOR NETFLIX!

Picard (a new Star trek tv shows coming up nex week)
Stranger things.. the 4th or was it 5th season? dunno.. corona messed up quite a bit!
Movies in cinemas where not that really much.. off course, filming under corona looks to bit just hard.. but the entertainment buisiness keeps on going nevertheless!!
music and more music....
Youtube still is my best friend nowadays, he just knows what I like to hear.. (my mix)
what songs did I discover?
at the last moment... some nice songs from Moya Brennan!
Yes.. in a cd sale begin december I got myself 5 new cd's!!! :) and a lovely little note from the lady herself! I was just over the moon :D
I really like the harp songs on the cd of 'canvas'... really.. there even is a song that resemblence 'watermark' from her sister Enya just a little bit and I just adore the arrangements with the harp! beautifull :)
In the movie: Sonic the hedgehog.. I also found a cool little music piece.. its the scene where Jim Carrey dances to the tunes of : 'where evil grows'.. allready a song from the 70's.. by the poppy family! Jim Carrey does an excellent job of nailing this scene whatsoever! Good job mr Carrey!
A couple of weeks ago mister music himself died unfortunately, but.. as you know.. music will live forever.. and this man too within his own music!
I got back at choir singing in september, but it finally died somewhere in november due to corona yet again.. so no singing, no songs, no shows no nothing. too bad I think;.. or not?
Looking forward to.. the Coldplay World tour that strikes Belgium in August 2022! Hope it does not get cancelled!!
friendships down the drain...
Yup.. just like the title says..
bad shit that happend.... to me or not to me....
Again at the last moment on friday the 31th of december 2021 a huge explosion took place in a building complex in Turnhout.. a whole appartment just collapsed and 4 people died in the collapsion.. one lady just miracoulsy got out! she was living on the first floor of that appartment and was saved by furniture debris saving this womans life.. with just a few scars!! It really is a miracle!
