Baked Apples & Naptime Sundays (Patreon)

Hey Grizzlies!

Today I made some baked apples and a pomegranate coulis- it was the perfect thing after a long sunny walk - the sun hasn't been out in ages, so it was brilliant to be out for a walk and some thinking time!

I've been having a bit of a tough time but I am okay! 🤩

Mr. Grizzly's work situation has changed a lot- the company has restructured itself completely, they hired more team members and he is coding a lot more these days... so he said that (a) we haven't heard from this Swiss job we applied for and (b) he would love to stay a while longer. For me a while means a few months... for him it's probably more like 2 years. Hehe.

So... for now... we're staying in the Netherlands. I'm someone who loves to move house and do new and exciting things... but sometimes to my detriment because it's a bit excessive (you haven't known me for long enough to know this hehe).

I am excited for what may be, but it would be hurtful to force the situation now. Once we get to Switzerland, I'd probably want to move again in 2 years... it's part of my trauma- to always be on the run. And I need to do my best to feel safe and okay in one place and to appreciate what I have around me instead of what could be safer or nicer or whatever it is... what I do know is that I want to swim more... so I'm going to work on finding lakes or pools to swim in right here in summer! Want to see what I find?

And yes...he was the one to initiate the plan because he longs to go home... but he said his career matters a lot to him and he spends majority of his time working, so he can't just up and leave like I'm inclined to. I think the position he had an interview for and what the lady said sounded absolutely perfect... that would've been very exciting! But she has not gotten back to us, and yes you know me... a follow up email was sent... at some point one has to have self-respect and realize it's not working out, for whatever reason. She actually deleted all the jobs for a bit and now re-uploaded one of them. I think Covid has been tough on everyone and things move a little slower or are a little more complex sometimes these days. Patience is by far not my strong point... it's actually my weakness! But I am free in my own way and don't NEED to go anywhere. I just need to never deal with the Dutch postal system again, haha!

The point is- I look forward to continue my YouTube, Patreon, books, merch and all those Grizzly adventures with you! It doesn't matter where I am because my world is online with all of you! Thank you for supporting what I do- it helps me keep going!

Wishing you a wonderful Sunday ahead!
Love,
Gisela.
