After a long day at work, I feel great. Tired, yes. My legs and feet hurt, yes. But I have a smile on my face. Because I showed up and interacted with kids of all age and with parents and laughed with colleagues. And let me tell you, I love it. Right now, I really do and it is fulfilling me. That’s something I haven’t felt in a while.

My life revolves around my kids and my work. It has always been like that. Even more so when I love my work…

But I am not neglecting my private life either. I went to a wedding with my daughter and no one else. Last week, I had dinner with a friend and went to a 40th birthday party. I celebrated father’s day with Patrick and the kids and took a morning listening to vinyl. But, right now, two things are tight in my life: money and sleep.

And it’s the first time, I am in a financial situation. You see, I don’t care much about money and give lots to musicians and to charities. I don’t cling to money. And that’s why I overdid it. I gave away too much without thinking about the consequences and the standing orders coming in every September and October.

Ah… Not to complain… I just have to take more care of it all the next weeks…

Apart from all of this: life is great. Right now. Even with two sick kids and a fading stomach bug

I have not been active recently, and I apologise. I apologise that I did not read your blogs in months. First, I was not mentally up to it and now, that I am, I fell so far behind, that my bad conscious keeps me from checking in.

See?! ADHD is still there with me.
