I started November in a really cozy way on Sunday: walking in the park, noticing how the fall has gone further, eating a warm salmon soup, later just snuggling at home with Minnie. A lot of quality time with my baby girl on the weekend, while everyone was out partying and celebrating halloween. It was funny to see how halloween has arrived here, when I went out to grab some food everyone around me was dressed up in real costumes. (I was dressed up as bum in my fancy sweatpants and bun.) Haven’t seen a halloween like that any year before! But yes the reason for me staying home is that starting from Friday I didn’t feel really well. It was like my body was fighting to avoid catching a cold. And now, three days later, I can feel that the flu has attacked. I’m lucky to have Minnie keeping me company, she’s the best. Funny how much she affects on my days, and especially in the evenings. Before having her I often felt a little restless, like I should be doing something or going somewhere. But now having her sleeping on my lap I feel like there isn’t any other place I need to be.
Today I can’t rest yet, too many things to do (but I’ll try to take it easy), and rest of the week dedicated for resting. I’ve drank so many cups of coffee now to get my day started that I have to change into tea, but luckily I have Christmas tea! Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!
Aloitin marraskuuni erittäin leppoisissa tunnelmissa: kävelyllä ympäri syksyistä Helsinkiä, lämpimällä lohikeitolla ja myöhemmin kotona vain Minnien kanssa loikoilulla. Nyt jäi halloween juhlinnatkin viikonlopulta väliin, perjantaista asti mulla ei vain ole ollut täysin terve olo. En tiennyt mikä on vikana, mutta nyt kolme päivää myöhemmin kaktuksen kurkkuun saaneena tajuan, että kroppani vain taisteli flunssaa vastaan. Ja sieltähän se sitten lopulta iski. Huomasiko kukaan muu muuten samaa, että nyt halloween vasta alkaa kunnolla rantautumaan Suomeenkin? Kauppareissullani pelästyin ties mitä hurjia kostyymejä, sellaisia kunnon panostuskauhuasuja. Itse olin pukeutunut varmaan pummiksi verkkareissani ja sotkunutturassani… Mutta no, ei onneksi harmita viettää aikaa kotona, nyt kun on Minnie seurana. Hassua ihan miten paljon koira on vaikuttanut mun omaan oloon kotona ollessa. Usein varsinkin iltaisin olin ennen vähän rauhaton, niinkuin mun pitäisi kokoajan tehdä jotain tai olla menossa jonnekin. Nyt tuntuu ettei mun kuulu olla missään muualla kuin juuri siinä, kun Minnie nukkuu sylissä.
Tänään en harmi vain pysty millään lepäilemään kotona, tänään on viikon ainoa pakollinen kiirepäivä, mutta koitan ottaa iisisti. Loppuviikko pyhitetty lepäilylle, Minnien rokotusta ja kasvattajalla käymistä lukuunottamatta. Nyt on pari kuppia kahvia tehnyt tehtävänsä ja tuntuu että alkaa päivä lähteä käyntiin, loppupäiväksi täytyy vaihtaa teehen. Onneksi on jouluteetä. Ihanaa keskiviikkoa kaikille!
Ps, Reading your comment on the last post made me so happy, I’m struggling to find words to thank you! It was so interesting to read how you’ve find my blog and just everything you had to say. I love that I still have that certain excited and supported feeling about blogging, all because of you. You’re amazing! I want to answer to all the comments so I’ll continue when I get back home. 🙂
Ps, Täytyy vielä tässäkin kiittää viime postauksen kommenteista, oli niin mielenkiintoista lukea kuinka pitkään siellä osa on ollut ruudun toisella puolella, miten on alunperin löytänyt blogiini, ja ihan vain kaikkea mahdollista. Niin hienoa vain, miten vieläkin tunnen sen saman innostuksen bloggailuun, kuin monia vuosia sitten, ja se onkin teidän ansiota. Kiitos siis kaikesta tuesta!

Awww having a dog is the best feeling in the world. Blogging can be really lonely sometimes and it makes me happy just to look at my bed and see Bonzo sleeping there 🙂 I guess you feel the same way about Minnie 😀

Kati says
Jotenkin sun kirjoituksia on ihanan rentouttavaa lukea. Etenkin noita englanninkielisiä osuuksia, kun vieläpä kirjoitat niin selkeästi ja sulavasti ettei tökkää missään kohtaa. Sun sunnuntai kuulosti suorastaan sunnuntain määritelmältä lohikeittoineen kaikkineen, että pystyin oikein eläytymään siihen.
Mahtaa olla mukavaa kun saa jakaa asioita niin monien ihmisten kanssa. Etenkin jos on tosi hyvällä tuulella, on varmaan ihana tunne kun niin monia kiinnostaa siitä kuulla. 🙂 En oikein edes osaa sanoin kuvailla mikä fiilis susta erityisesti tekstin kautta välittyy. Oot vaan ihana!
Marianna says
Kiitos Kati, voi miten ihana kommentti. 🙂 <3

Ihanan rennon kuuloinen viikonloppu, vaikka kipeäksi tulitkin, pikaisia paraneimisia <3 Ja hei mitä on tuo mainitsemasi joulutee? 🙂
Marianna says
Kiitos Roosa! <3 Tämänhetkinen jouluteeni on Forsmanin irtoteetä, sellaisessa punaisessa pussissa jossa on joulupukin kuva. 😀 Se alkaa jo loppua niin kokeilen seuraavaksi muitakin merkkejä!
Bri says
I am also not a big fan of Halloween. Glad you realized that staying home is sometimes much more beneficial than forcing yourself to go out and socialise! Hope you have a lot of inspiration for blogging and time for reading new books in those evenings to come. Wishing you to get well soon! x
With Love,

First of all, I hope you will get better soon, Marianna xx
And I know that restless feeling so well – you are home, and all could be perfect, but something is nagging inside and won’t go away… annoying 😀
Autumn has really hit Finland, as I can see. Here in Germany, it is far too warm, and we didn’t have a storm yet, so the trees are still rather full of leaves.
Enjoy your time with sweet Minnie and get all the rest you need 🙂
Simone**
Marianna says
Thank you Simone! Yes that feeling is so annoying, you could be doing so many cozy things at home and just enjoy being lazy, but just something keeps you restless. I’ve heard it’s much more warm in Germany, well enjoy the colors! 🙂 Gets so quickly grey in here, that I’m already waiting for snow to brighten everything up… x

Thank you so much Lucie, you are too sweet! 🙂 What a cheer up this comment was. <3
Lia says
I know the feeling when you’re at home in the evening and constantly thinking that you must do something or be somewhere else than at home. But instead it is okay to just feel comfortable reading or watching TV and totally relax. In need to work on that attitude as well 🙂

Marianna says
Thank you Lia, you’re absolutely right! 🙂 x

Caz says
I really love and appreciate how honest and real you are in your blog entries! Sometimes on other fashion blogs, each entry features the blogger in a new and exotic place–one week in Dubai, next week in Bali, the next week in Milan, etc and I wonder, are their lives really that exciting or are they just recycling old pictures?? And how can they afford to travel first class to so many new places all the time?! But with your blog I never wonder if it is real or fake. You are very real and honest, and everyone can relate to you!
Marianna says
Thank you so much Caz, that means a lot to me, you’ve no idea! 🙂 x
Nadia says
So lovely to read about you cozy weekend, honey 🙂 That’s a brilliant start to a new month! We also took it super easy on Halloween weekend. It’s just nice to relax at home sometimes and enjoy the coziness 🙂
I hope you are feeling better hon, flu is no fun.
I completely understand what you mean about having Minnie. So happy she makes you complete and not restless at all. That’s the way it should be, means you two were meant to have found each other 🙂
Hope you are having a lovely week, girlie, and that the flu went away.
Big hugs <3

Hei katselin tuossa Louis Vuitton postaustasi ja yhdessä kuvassa näkyi vaaleanpunainen Furlan kotelo. Onko se key holder, vai jokin muu pussukka? Olen yrittänyt etsiä Furlalta key holder koteloa mutta mistään ei tunnu löytyvän, joten ajatteli kysellä mistä olet omasi löytänyt.
Kiitos jo etukäteen ja aurinkoista syksyä
Linda
