Heyyooo – we’re out of lockdown! APRIL FOOOOOLSSS! You might have but most likely did not notice that I skipped my February joy report. I mean, sure, stuff happened in February, but mostly it was a same-shit-different-day kinda month. Towards the end of February and the beginning of March, we stupidly got hopeful. The numberContinue reading “March 2021 Joy Report”

January 2021 Joy Report
January always feels like a long month. Do you agree? Oddly, January 2021 has flown by! Perhaps it’s the monotony of lockdown life. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. A quick update on life here in Munich. We’ve been in partial lockdown since the beginning of November and aContinue reading “January 2021 Joy Report”
December Joy Report
Happy Birthday to me! Happy birthday to me! I drank too much last night….that’s the end of this post! 🤦♀️😆 Jussssttt kidddinnnggg…about it being the end of this post. Happy New Year! Anyway, I’m rounding out 2020’s joy reports with a double-joy-whammy! First up are a few things that made me happy in December, butContinue reading “December Joy Report”
November Joy Report
Partial lockdown is boring. Don’t get me wrong – I think it’s the right thing to do, and if I’m being honest, we’re pretty boring people on a day-to-day. I do miss the gym, though. We’re pretty creative in our 30 sq meters (300 sq feet) but it not quite the same as a boulderingContinue reading “November Joy Report”
October Joy Report
So, October was…going! Honestly, with the job and residency drama behind us, we’ve just chugging along this month. Getting into our new routine, appreciating the mundane daily life, enjoying the fall weather and colors. And then the unexpected happened. My trivial October joys were greatly overshadowed by one event – the loss of my cousin,Continue reading “October Joy Report”
September Joy Report
Yes, I’m a day late. I just wanted to make sure I incorporated the entire month of September for the most accurate reporting, ya know? Anyway, quick update on Munich life, then on to the joy report! It’s been in the American news lately that the numbers of coronavirus cases in Europe are increasing, whichContinue reading “September Joy Report”
Germany: Three Month Impressions + August Joy Report
It’s hard to believe that we’ve been in Munich for three months. Even harder to believe that Shane still isn’t working, but that’s a post for another day (I don’t have nice things to say, and we need the good karma). A month into our German expat adventure, I wrote about my (our) first impressions.Continue reading “Germany: Three Month Impressions + August Joy Report”
A Week of Happies (no crappies!)
Sorry for the language, but 2020 is a sh*t show. I mean, now Kayne is running for President? I just can’t. And Shane’s job? It was supposed to start in May and now we’re looking at September (more on that in a later post). Thanks, Corona! My sister and soon-to-be brother-in-law taught us a game:Continue reading “A Week of Happies (no crappies!)”
