It’s funny how you get used to a new way of living. I can’t remember how long this staying home situation has lasted, but I have to say I’m fully used to it. Do I even know how to adjust to a social life and going to places anymore? Well it’ll feel fresh and new when the time comes.
Se on hassua miten nopeasti uuteen tilanteeseen lopulta sopeutuu. En muista kauanko tämä korona-aika on kestänyt, mutta kotona oleilu ja tiettyjen asioiden karsiminen elämästä on ollut yllättävän helppoa. Osaako sitä enää palatakaan “normaaliin” elämään, kun piti käydä eri paikoissa ja sosialisoida? No, ainakin se tulee tuntumaan uudelta ja mielenkiintoiselta, kun normaalin arjen aika lopulta koittaa.
Also it’s funny how I don’t really miss going to places, traveling etc. I love my country, I love my home. Right now I just mostly miss visiting the countryside, seeing my family and friends. This time makes me appreciate those things even more. Walks outside have gotten more important than ever. The seaside, nature getting greener, sun showing up more often, fresh air and getting that spring feeling… The best thing there is right now. But it’s nice in a way how the unnecessary noise is cut out – do you know what I mean?
Hassua myös, miten en oikeastaan ikävöi matkustelua tai eri paikoissa käymistä. Kuulostan nyt varmaan todella erakolta, mutta eniten mulla on ikävä vain mökillä käyntiä. Ja tietysti perhettä ja ystäviä. Luonnossa kävelyt on tällä hetkellä tärkeämpiä kuin koskaan. Auringon lämpö kasvoilla, vihertyvä luonto, meren kohina, rantapolut ja metsäreitit. Parasta just nyt. Tavallaan on aika kivaa, miten kaikki “turha” on karsittu – tiedättekö mitä tarkoitan?
Another thing that have kept my spirit up during this time: Sims 4. I’m addicted all over again. Also playing Monopoly on Playstation. All activities that take my mind away of everything else are so important for my mental health. I’ve loved putting my phone away, not scrolling through social media etc and just concentrate on one thing at a time. And not just computer / PS games – reading, writing and drawing are other necessities.
Eräs toinen asia joka on ollut mun päivien piristys viime aikoina: Sims 4. Oon jälleen koukussa. Myös Monopoly Playstationilla on ollut positiivinen yllätys, aika monta iltaa on mennyt aamuneljään, koska pelit kestää niin kauan eikä huomaa vilkaista kelloa. Kaikki tekeminen, joka saa mielen pois ympäröivästä, unohtaamaan täysin puhelimen olemassa olon, on niin ihanaa. Ja tärkeää mun mielenterveydelle. Piirtäminen, kirjoittaminen ja lukeminen on näitä mulle myös.
Next I’m gonna buy myself weekend candies, plan what to cook this weekend, sit on my balcony for with afternoon coffee (that’s when the sun shines there), get fresh air and write my journal. And later get a new expansion pack for Sims…
Seuraavaksi haen viikonloppukarkit, suunnittelen viikonlopun kokkailut, istun parvekkeellani iltapäiväkahveilla (koska juuri tähän aikaan sinne paistaa), saan vähän raikasta ilmaa ja kirjoitan päiväkirjaa. Myöhemmin illalla ostan Simssiin taas uuden lisäosan…
I hope you will all have a lovely weekend. Remember to do things that make you truly happy. Walk outside (if you’re healthy and able to avoid contact with other people), treat yourself with your favorite food & treats, play something, read something, maybe find a new TV series, organize things at home… Whatever feels like a good idea for you. And stay safe ❤️
Toivottavasti teille tulee ihana viikonloppu. Muistakaa tehdä asioita jotka saa hyvälle tuulelle. Kävelkää luonnossa (jos olette terveitä ja pystytte tehdä sen ihmiskontakteja vältellen), tehkää teidän lempiruokaa ja herkutelkaa, pelatkaa jotain, lukekaa jotain, ehkä aloittakaa uusi tv-sarja, järjestelkää kotona… Mikä ikinä tuntuu nyt just hyvältä idealta. Ja pysykää terveinä ❤️

I’ve been loving the Sims again too ! I have all the extensions, I could definitely recommend “At Work” (I guess that’s what it’s called in English, not sure ’cause I’m French), and basically you have new careers and for a few of them you can go to work with your Sims and you have specific tasks to achieve it’s awesome ! University and Famous/Superstar (again not sure about the names) are also truly great ! Enjoy your game and stay safe Marianna 🙂

I’m happy you doing well during this crisis! Me personally, I have big problem with these things happening right now. We had planned big wedding with my fiancee, out of country, we have everything planned, paid, it took 1,5 year to do all the stuff (and that stress during it and endless nights thinking what to do more!) and now we have nothing. I’m not sure, if I wanna have wedding anymore, everything we had to cancel, I can’t say even how much money we lost and that “looking forward” feeling. Even we are still happy with my fiancee and healthy, it hurts me so much, such a “thing” can change all the word and how not ready Europe was for it.

I have also been playing a lot of sims 4 ?
Can you do a post about your sims. How you style them, the houses etc. Would love to see it and also get some inspiration. I have been very actively scrolling on the sims subreddits as well.
