Snippets of A Happy Life

This is a micro blog where I sometimes post thoughts, happenings, quotes, anything I might like to share without any structure, titles, or even sometimes revision. This is RAW writing.

March is definitely super busy... I want to write but I have no mind or energy for it. Birthday (x3), Dutch courses and test, Book club, work training... my mind is full. I am still here, but I have almost no mental energy left to add content for now. And with the warm sunny days coming up, I might actually end up here even less as I enjoy the outdoors to draw and roller-skate.

I just realized I am almost never in social media anymore. Sometimes it feels lonely, sometimes refreshing. What I have to say stays here or in my journal. My life is good. I dreamed I was already 40... eek. I need to let that sink in, I will be in 5 months. Tik tok goes the clock.

I'm a millennial, almost 40 years old, and I am savoring an amazing conversation of 2 women with autism, and a super social guy, about generational characteristics and growing up as Gez Z. I'm on the other side of the desk so they do not see my smile.

I feel old and young at the same time, it is so weird. 🤭

Will be attempting to keep my daughter in her bed all night. May the heavens have mercy on me.

Sunny days means art days

The sun starts to shine, my hands are not cold, so I automatically want to draw more. It seems I'm an artist only half of the year 😅

I added a RSS feed to my sketchbook page. Though I still want to tweak it a bit.

Here's the link.

Funny how part of potty training is also training myself to be conscious of my daughter's cues and ask her if she needs to pee on time. 😂 #parenting #life

Going for my crown tooth preparation procedure soon and I am not looking forward to it. 😭 Don't miss your yearly checkups people, it's not fun — nor cheap.

A lot of people seem not to know this, specially those in charge of these decisions, but those "dyslexia" special fonts, DO NOT WORK. Dyslexia is NOT a vision problem, but a language processing one. We need line spacing, and styling (clear, crisp, with high contrast letters). The OpenDyslexic font makes it worse if you do not use line spacing. I just switched the University's screen to what they offer thinking I don't have to twitch around myself, and I got dizzy right away and turned it off. So please... webdesigners, PLEASE do some research before doing this. Offer customization of fonts if you want to help (I just customize my browser.)
