Every Wednesday the Spectacled Beans writes a post, and at the end there’s the questions of the day that I like to answer. This time, she also answered some other questions by Kate, who’s over at Substack. The link to that post can be found at the end of this post below. Let’s jump right into more questions!
What have you done recently that would make your 7 y.o. self proud and your 80 y.o. self grateful?
I’ve watched a lot of television! It was the best thing I knew as a kid. I was glued to the thing and still am and I love it! The only trouble I can find is when I don’t have anything specific to watch, so I’m always on the lookout for a new TV show to binge.
Currently, in general, how organized do you feel you are? Is being organized a goal for you?
I’m very organized in my view, but even though planning is fun – they rarely come together as they should. I do hope that I’ll become better at planning both ahead and that I’ll find a way to make it stick as well as becoming even more organized inside the home.
When thinking about books you have consumed [read], which one or ones has/have helped you feel regenerated, revitalized, ready to take on life anew?
Oh, no idea really. I watch more TV than I read books, but I haven’t really found a book yet that makes me want to change anything in my life unfortunately. I’m also not at that stage that I read self-help books either. Why? Because I’d probably get bored, misunderstand instructions and I would not do anything anyway, so it’s pretty pointless to read them. I prefer fictional books and lately through audio.
I can add, though that the changes I’ve made and found out in my life have come from other sources which is mind-blowing on its own.
What is your favorite candy bar? What is your favorite cake?
The first one, I don’t know. I rarely eat candy bars to be honest. Perhaps something with French nougat or whatever it’s called? The white fluffy things that usually has a bunch of roasted nuts in it.
Favorite cake is easy though. A cream layered cake with lots and lots of fruit on top is my absolute favorite! Of course I do like a chocolate cake as well, but a cream layered one, especially with a dense cake and all that fruit is pure awesomeness in my world!

Questions by Kate:
When did you feel most at home this week?
Probably all the times when I’ve spent my time with the BF. Since my life is a huge roller coaster right now, and more than usual. I’ve been needing loads and loads of support and I’ve been getting it from him. I don’t know where I’d be without him.
Where are you moving forward?
Where? I don’t really understand this question, but I have a clear goal and I’m doing my absolute best to make sure I’m finally gonna reach that goal. It involves a higher income than today, first of all. Then a better job which a friend is gonna help me get and if all goes well, me and the BF will think more about adding a new dog into the household. The breed is secret and will always be, but the size is somewhere between a chihuahua and an Irish Wolfhound. I really hope we will find a good breeder soon and that when all that other shit is done, the new pup will be here sometime next year or so.
Where are you stuck?
Oh, in the land of forever poor and the kingdom of crushed hopes and shattered dreams. Where are you stuck?
What did you consume that was regenerative?
Oh, probably veggies and fruit. I wish I could say that about everything I consume, but hey, it’s a start, right?
What question are you asking?
When will this shit end and my new life begin? It is my time to shine! And when will that new pup arrive? I can’t wait!
