 The cherry-tomatoes are growing well on our porch. We'll see what's with the big ones. Oh, i just got so sleepy, that i might start another post tomorrow and leave this one like it is. With just the golden treasures we have grown. To be precise then i might add that the green thumb is more of a Martins deal.

Hope you're spending some nice holidays! We do love the summer, right! :)

At least, it's done. Kind of. I might get one of the papers back to make some corrections, but all in all, it's done. Fertig! What a tiresome day. But i thought i'll write down all the things, that i wanted to do instead of writing my uni-papers. So i'll actually come around to do them, and not just forget and be consumed in automatic everyday life. 

- organize all of my drawers. That is just something that you really want to do, when you have to do something that you, well, must do... i think everyone gets that feeling: when instead writing your research, you want to pair all your socks, sharpen all your pencils, and organize your library, or photos from last spring...

- make some granola! i read an article some time ago, that said that granola is not really  100% healthy, since it has sugar and fat... but from the things that contain sugar and fat, im okay with this one. 

- write letters and emails to friends. 

- meet up with friends!

-  make rhubarb-orange jam! not yet a clue, how, but im making it for sure!

- order shea-or cocobutter and make my own bodybutter.

- find cute and nature-friendly toys, and make a crochet- mouse, like the one i had, when i was little :))

- cook! like jamie oliver (:

- watch the film "Samsaara"

- get a dress for our friends wedding. Probably need a cardigan too, since the weather is getting... moody.

- and the last, but the one i so desperately wanted to do.... read a book again! a random, not related to studies, a good, interesting, just... a book, please!

For this coming week i might also skip blogging, because next Sunday I've got a due-date for two papers, which I'm still working on, and considering the pace of my work and also my concentration-level, it will be a stressful week, or at least weekend :)

Being pregnant, having a little toddler and taking care of the household is enough to do already, I'm  struggling with that alone... so why oh why did i need the university in there as well? 

But then again... i think that's something that actually keeps me sane and connected to some parts of me, that also make me happy. And that allows me to enjoy my family as well in a deeper level. I guess.

Strange to think, that it's here i say im tired or sleepless or stressed, while in real life there's actually no need to mention it to somebody, because we all feel that way now and then. Conversations, that turn out to a battle of who's more drained, are also no fun. Quite pointless and in the end..there's no winner. Compassion and to be able to comfort, need some strength, that is not always there. So for the coming week, let's grow a bit, a bit stronger and let's lend an ear to someone, who might need it.

Have a great new week!
