Monthly Recap April 2020 – Far from normal | Doctor Anne

April is gone and with it another month ruled by social distancing and insecurities about the future. I know many of my readers visit me from countries outside Germany, and with all the different regulations in place it is hard to keep up with who is allowed to do what in which time.     In Germany for example we are able to visit shops and go for walks, as long as it is not in groups and we keep our distance. In France on the other hand, going for…

Monthly Recap March 2020 – Where the heck have I been?

Last month was a rather unusual one, I guess we can all agree on that. With Covid19 spreading quickly all over the world and many countries going in lockdown, I don’t think anyone was able to do business as usual.   Back when I decided to leave the hospital and join the Public Health team, I would have never thought that I would ever experience times like these. For the last few weeks me and my coworkers have been working nonstop to #flattenthecurve. At the time that I write this,…

Monthly Blog Post Recap February 2020

February is the month of love, everyone will tell you so, and I couldn’t agree more. Not because I buy into the whole Valentines Day consumerism thing (we don’t celebrate and never have), but because we have two very important birthdays in our family. The first one (look at me being all humble) is mine, and nothing starts the month of love better than having people around you to celebrate your birth and give you presents. Not that I care too much about presents *cough*, but a little celebration never…

Monthly Recap November 2019

I am going to spare you the whole “How come the year is already over” talk today. Or any day. Because as much as I love the promise of a clean slate, I have learned long ago that new beginnings don’t always start on New Years Eve. In fact, more often they start at some random date throughout the year.     November 4th was such a random date, as it marked the beginning of a two year course I am going to take, in an attempt to get yet…

Monthly Recap October 2019

Now that I look back at the month of October, I realize it was actually quite balanced in terms of work and play. I am getting in the swing of things with my new job and no longer feel as if I am drowning in paperwork, which gives me the mental capacity to focus on other things like posing as X-Wing Pilot. Or doing Tribal Fusion.     „Diffusion“ (the ensemble I am part of) went on stage and as I type this I just returned from a day long…

Monthly Recap September 2019

In theory, September should have been a very relaxed month for me. I mean, it did start with me being on vacation in France, very relaxing indeed, and ended with me being away for a whole weekend camping (actually LARP, for those of you familiar with that term). Yes, that was cold at night, but I think it was the first time since my daughter was born that I spend two full days without my phone.     So why do I say „in theory“? Because in between things got…

Monthly Recap August 2019

How can yet another month have passed by already? I know it is common to complain about how time flies when looking back at the month behind you, but August really went in the blink of an eye. Which may have to do with the fact that upon writing this there is still a lot of August left, but I am leaving for France tomorrow (yes, another holiday) and I want to have the blog post ready to go live without having to worry about it.     And that…

February – full of celebrations, at least on my side of the screen. It is my birthday month (which means that the low-buy didn´t really happen, but I´ll post an update on that later on). It is also my daughters birthday month, so of course we had to throw her a party.     And while it wasn´t the first one at…

Month in Review January 2019

The first month of 2019 has passed already, and as always it was a particularly grey and gloomy one here in Germany. We did have snow, but it only lasted briefly, despite a week of bitter cold. Chilly winds, biting frost, you get the idea. Now, it is still Southern Germany, so I may exaggerate a little, but stay with me, it will help set the mood.     And in this cold and chill (and tiny bits of snow) I took off my coat and posed for some pictures in…
