Liebe Grüße aus Hannover!

I have arrived at my parents’ place and been spoiled in every possible way all day. Their new apartment is even nicer than I expected, based on dad’s room tour over video call. I’m sleeping on the couch, but it’s so huge that I actually have more space than in my regular bed at home. I got my own shelf in the bathroom for all my hair and body products. And the food is definitely not a letdown either.

If dad stuck to just the actual dinner, he’d be fine. It’s both tasty and healthy. But the desserts are just too tempting to resist (for both of us). So, naturally, we stuffed ourselves until we could barely move. Still, we somehow managed to go out for a little evening walk through their lovely neighborhood.

Dad and Lena live a bit outside the city center. It’s very peaceful here, with lots of charming little streets to wander around. I even stumbled upon a fountain sculpture featuring a bunch of different animals. Turns out this area used to be a farming village, and the sculpture is a tribute to those rural roots.

It’s 2 AM now, and dad and Lena have been asleep for a couple of hours already. I’d better get to bed too, otherwise our sleep schedules are going to seriously clash.

So… it’s been a year

No, I didn’t get abducted by aliens. There were some even better reasons.

One of them: I stumbled across my old, half-finished chick lit manuscript. Out of curiosity, I started reading. And to my surprise — it’s actually good. Like, really good. So I did what any rational person would do: I picked it back up and started writing again.

Which means, I have been writing this whole time — just not here. Blog silence explained.

It’s still nowhere near finished, but I decided to take a breather for a week. Let the intrigues stew a bit while I do something else for a change.

Right now I’m on my way to visit dad and Lena in Germany. And I figured, why not bring you along for the ride? Here’s my packing music. I don’t actually like rap but these funny, bouncy songs hit just right.

Eminem – Houdini

Identifies as Black, but acts Chinese

Love the throwback vibe and the woke roast. 😂

And here’s Dax who got inspired and made something similar:
