Watched the video whilst eating eggs for breakfast, evoked strange feelings… Might not be lederhosen but the you rocked the singlet. (Or maybe just to many eggs).

Congrats on yet more prs - it’s raining prs in here lately!

Having a bit of an issue with lower back pumps.

I have exciting life news!

- I entered into a new relationship with a very inspiring person whom I haven’t seen in 4 years and back then was already quite flashed. She is a very unique and incredible human. Our interaction is full of passion, intimate emotional moments and great communication. I feel truly blessed to have such amazing partners.

- I found a new flat after half a year of looking! It’s quite a special one. Very adventurous, not very adult. I love it and am excited!

- as a result of very easy negotiations I got a raise. I asked for one, boss replied with “didn’t you just have one”. I said “true. It hasn’t been too long. But you know my value and worth for the company. I like working here and for you but you need to match the other offers for me to stay”. So we agreed on a raise and renegotiations in half a year.

I am out with Corona. That will also put me out of contention for the weightlifting meet in January. There is not enough time with any delay.
