This past week has been surprising. I never thought a simple note blog post would attract so many visitors. Perhaps it’s because of the title. It wasn’t meant to be clickbait. Also, many bloggers have linked or mentioned me on their blogs. I feel honored, as I’m new to blogging and still have much to learn, especially writing.
Perhaps I should also create a blogroll page.
Living
I’ve been searching for a new place to live, to save money. After my last breakup two years ago, I stayed alone in the house, and the rent has increased yearly. Now, I pay 1420 Euro monthly, up from 1200 Euro. This is too much for someone living alone. I hope to find a social housing unit through a housing association for a maximum of 900 Euro with energy-saving features like a heat pump, good insulation, solar panels, and no gas.
Health
My week (more like lately) has been mentally exhausting, which likely caused my flu-like symptoms which started on Saturday evening. Mental health and physical health are closely linked.
Movies
I’m a bit picky about movies, as you can see from the average ratings.
- Crime 101 3/5
-
Office Romance 3.5/5
- Started bad, but ended up liking it more, so gave it a 0.5 score more. :)
- Micky 17 3/5
A movie with a truly good story will earn a 4 or more for me, I suppose.
Software
Planning a write-up about my move to European software alternatives or self-hosting software. I’ll cover both Mac and Windows since I use both. Keep an eye out for it soon.
