Birthday Weekends

 Gloomy and rainy morning. Black warm coffee and calm music.

I had such amazing weekends at home starting from Wednesday evening and till Saturday evening.

It was my birthday on Wednesday. Already 22 but doesn’t feel like this at all. 

We had a little celebration with my mom and grandparents(dad was working), ate delicious almond cake with champagne. I finally could normally talk to my family, talk a lot with my mom and enjoy this.

When we came home, I hugged my cat who is already so big, even though he is only 6 months now.

 On Thursday I had a good 1.30 hour yoga practice while it was snowing outside. Then I had coffee with mom and our lovely cozy morning together as usually. We also had sushi later and watched a new version of the movie “It”. Later in the evening I went to my friend whom I haven’t seen for some time, so we had (especially she) quite a lot to tell each other. It was also nice and cozy watching the snow outside and dark streets. I am not a big fun of snow and winter but it was okay even in October because I knew this snow is not for too long here (and I was right :)) ). 

On Thursday we walked with mom, she took some photos of me (finally fall photos). Then I cooked delicious hummus and we watched a Halloween movie.

 

When it got darker we also lightened our pumpkin candles that we bought specially for Halloween and watched another good movie.

Basically, I had quite relax little holiday at home, doing almost nothing but just movies on a big screen, talks and  good food. I was a bit sad on Saturday because it was my last day  but I tried to be positive anyway. Had tea with my grandma, talked about her childhood which was really nice then, again, I was with my mom in the evening.

Now I am in Tallinn again. These two months went by quite quickly and they weren’t actually so difficult with studies. But I am not really waiting for November and December to come only because of three new subjects and long days at school that I will have now. I know it will be difficult, but as mom told me:"It’s just two (even a bit less) months and then you come back home again". So I just have to be patient during this time and try to be less stressful. I hope I can do this.

 

Turn Off Thoughts

I had such a nice feeling standing in the garden under a little rain where was no one but only me. Breathing crisp air and enjoying a day. I was calm and wasn’t thinking of much and it was amazing!

I am so waiting for coming home but one thing bothers me: I always think of some kind of plan what to do, how to spend these days, etc.. It’s my birthday next week and fortunately I have a good school timetable and I hope that I will be able to go home already next Wednesday. So I have pretty much enough days to spend with my fam and enjoy those days. However, I also want to do something, you know. So I can’t stop thinking of it and making some kind of plan how I would like to spend this time, “celebrate” my birthday, etc..

Seems kind of ridiculous but that’s the way I am: always organize something, plan everything and think of how I want to spend the next day. It’s not always like this but sometimes it is and it bothers me…

Anyway I’ll try not to think of it so much and just go with the flow. It’s already good that finally I'll go back home and will spend this time with my family and my little cat. :))

Cozy Saturday

I am all warmed up right now, sitting in my compfy leopard pants with the candles that give me such a cozy and warm filling while it’s raining outside. It’s been raining all week actually,  but not really complaining about that( it only sometimes) because it’s October, there is nothing else to expect from that.

This week was not really a good one. I had really mixed feelings. On Wednesday and Thursday I was feeling a bit unwell, was sleepy, tired and had a stomachache. Then at night, I was thinking of maybe I should change something that would help me to feel better. I was thinking of what I was doing wrong, how to improve it, my habits, etc…It always happens when you feel bad and then you start thinking of what you did wrong.

I went to yoga today, then had a nice walk in an Old Town. Sat in a café and had a pumpkin spice latte while reading a new book “Five quarters of the orange” which is really good and interesting.

At home baked some apples with cinnamon, walnuts, raisins and added some peanut butter. That was delicious.

Basically trying to feel better, smile and enjoy autumn even if some days I don't feel like this at al..

My delicious apple pie with cinnamon and nuts. I swear, it was so yummy, especially when you drink with it a cup of hot cacao. :)

Mid-August

Decided to upload the last summer photos that were made in Mid-August. I believe, this was my last summer "photoshoot".

The цeather was really nice:sunny and summery hot. I had a great walk and a photoshoot with my lovely mom and auntie after what we cooled down with cold lattes.

Our great walk ended with delicious pizzas, red wine and other goodies. Truly a good day, good memory.

October 2nd

September went by really fast(as all the other months). Now, when October is finally here, it already feels like autumn: gloomy and cold, starts earlier to getting darker and darker. Already got my coat from the closet, start watching fall movies, bake everything with apple and cinnamon and cook pumpkin soup. Of course, candles and the lights to make it cozier and warmer.

Yesterday finished the second part of the “Gone with the Wind”. Such a good book, even though I was a bit sad with the ending, that it felt like there is supposed to be the continuing part but there is not. I can guess how Scarlett’s life may end up but these are only guesses and there can be different endings.Anyway, I liked it and really enjoyed that time readin.

Now I am gonna hop into the shower then relax a bit and end up another one Monday. 

Good to be Home

Last weekends were really great. Luckily, the weather was also amazing- shiny and warm. Talked a lot with my mom, grandma and dad. Watched some “autumn” movies with mom. One of the them was “You’ve got Mail” which is kind of well-known, especially during the fall season when you’re looking to watch something during this time.

On Saturday I baked oat pumpkin muffins which turned out not really as I wanted it to be and it didn’t really taste as pumpkin but they still were quite delicious. Also played a lot with my little kitty boy, got some new scratches from him but not complaining. Short story long, these were really good weekends.
