Amanda is having her ADHD episode...

i just went to the washroom

and when i got back in the kitchen

the mats looked like they were hit by a hurricane

now, she's sitting beside me and purring like crazy

she really knows how to melt my heart with her

cuteness 😻

i got movie tickets from Santa 😄

so last night, daddy and i went to the cinema to watch

Avatar: The Way of Water

it was amazing!

visually, i was so mesmerized

emotionally, i was angry and sad and happy

and all that roller-coaster kind of feelings

after the movie, i asked daddy

was it only me who felt like i couldn't breath when the

Na'vi's were diving in the water

or when Jake and the Colonel had that fight?

he said, he held his breath on those scenes

😁😂

when we got out of the theater,

i took a long deep breath of the winter air

and it felt good

it really makes a difference when there are kids around on Christmas day.

we spent the Christmas eve with Pappa. it was relaxing,

 yes...

on Christmas day, the kids came 

there's noise everywhere, toys here and there

kids singing 

it's not so relaxing

yet,

the fun is there.

like, it really feels like Christmas.

it's true what they say...

Christmas is for kids

and kids make Christmas feel more like it should be

we drove to Vierumäki last sunday to check on something.

on the way back, i needed to pee 😁

so we dropped by to my previous working place to pee

and to have coffee.

it's been over a year since i left that place.

there wasn't any familiar face to me anymore.

we were drinking our coffee and eating our buns there 

when i saw Raili.

i went to her and said hi.

we hugged and catched up. 

then Jenny came to our table, too,

to chat.

it was nice to see my old co-workers again.

and it feels nice how warm their greetings were.

i went to the hospital yesterday hoping for a check-up.

when i got in there, there was a long line of people.

i took a number and waited for my turn.

when my number was called, i went to the room and the nurse asked me

how she can help.

i told her that i have a cough for three weeks now.

she asked me if i had a flu or fever.

yes and yes.

she said that it's normal to have cough 

when one has flu.

but i told her that i don't have a flu now but i'm still coughing and

that i have a phlegm.

she told me that it's totally normal.

cough can last for a month or three.

usually, the cough just go away by itself. 

oh really?

and if i can't get some sleep because of this coughing?

well, she said, they won't make any checking if the cough

is not longer than three months.

great!

that was a great help!

days 220, 221 & 222 of 365 | the life of Joanna Marie

daddy and i decided to have breakfast today in Oskari.

i'm thinking that i shouldn't do it again

because 

even if it's my day-off 

and i went there as a customer

i still felt that i need to work

😂

when our parking time was almost ending,

daddy said that we should go.

i started to take the dishes from the shelves and

took them to the kitchen.

😲😵

i better stay at home on my day-off ^_^

i haven't driven for over a month now.

and especially now that it has started to snow,

i feel scared to be behind the wheels.

but my husband is that kind of person who 

won't tolerate my fear.

he encouraged me to drive and when i told him

that we can go to the shop together

so he will be the one to drive,

he encouraged me even more to drive alone.

which i did...

sometimes...

or maybe most of the time,

i just need to conquer my fear

day 219 of 365 | the life of Joanna Marie

i just can't believe my luck

why is it 

that when i'm going to have a long weekend off

i have to get sick

again 😓

i'm tired of being sick already...
