Yes, it is time again. For this years: (Inter)National Blog Posting Month! Weeeeeh! Which also means: 30 Posts in 30 Days. A challenge, but I can finally post all the little things that I wouldnt bother to tell normally or that might just get lost along the way. Exciting! *kind off* I am also joining: 26 Things, a photographic scavenger hunt – for the month of November! 💡 Which equals: 30 posts with almost a photo every single day to go along with it in one single month. Prepare yourselves! 😛 I am eager and glad it is finally starting. It forces me to stop thinking and open my eyes again to my surroundings which I so often neglect.

This past week started with one of the worst delivery days I ever had. I am doing this job for how many years now in whatever weather conditions under hellish health statuses… But that last Monday… Honestly, I can not remember many bad weather days. Sometimes, it happens to pour all morning and you get soaked. Sometimes it is so hot, that you are in danger of passing out. Sometimes you walk though feet high snow. But that last Monday… Yikes. It started with middle heavy rain at freezing point when I left the post office. I wore 4 layers of clothes. On my almost 30 minutes bikeride out to the mailarea, I got pretty wet. The rain started to mix with snow at some point. At that point I was soaked. Those 4 layers were glued to my terrible skin. It was hell. It then started to snow heavily. Time just didnt pass. I was freezing so badly, I really wished I had dry clothes along with me to change. My hair was dripping wet, snow piling up on me… ❗ It was so NOT NICE. A complete nightmare. Of course this all went along with the super smart people all over telling me that now the bad weather is starting for us. Really, I wouldnt have noticed… Grrrr. I know, everyone has bad days, this is how mine are…

On Tuesday, I started another ingenious book which I finished today. I practically read none-stop. I Am The Messenger by Markus Zusak, who also wrote The Book Thief. The book was INSANE! I couldnt put it away, you just want to know how it ends and what it is all for. I loved it. Markus Zusak has a way of telling his stories… so easy to read and to understand. His characters are simple as can be, but you end up loving them all. It all starts with a bank robbery and a hero, who calls himself useless, boring, unimportant to the world. As life goes, he quite literally gets handed 5 cards, each card with various assignments proving him, that he can do so much more than what he thinks. That he is quite worthwhile and able to do so much more with his life than he ever could have imagined. And if you want to know how it ends, you have to read the book, because as I already said, its ingenious. Yes, it is like it seems. I have been reading way too much lately neglecting everything else. No self control. 😕

Today was all Saints Day. As I keep saying every year, a day so very important to my parents, but none of us able to go the graveside. I am just so glad that this day is over. A bad, bad day. I just pray and hope my parents are not mad with us. We are trying so hard, but we are still so full with grieve that we cannot really grieve. If that makes any sense…

November is here. Have a great one, until tomorrow! 😳
