Straight from the pen: Judith

It may sound weird, but I'm super busy. Weird because basically I can't go anywhere except walk the dog and do my shopping. And yet the days fly by.

This is mainly because the painter (after 5 weeks!!) has finished with the ground floor. Hallelujah, praise the Lord, finally I can get down to work. So I'm busy brushing away that 3 meter thick layer of dust, washing the windows, and the curtains can be hung again. Outside I had already cleaned the terraces and garden furniture with the high-pressure cleaner. So press…

In between I do sports at home, I do volunteer work, I go for a run and walk the dog, energy for 10. The fact that the sun shines so nicely is positive for my energy level, but not drinking alcohol also clearly has an influence. The day before yesterday I ran 5 km and it felt like I was just getting started. Because deep down I hate running, that is remarkable.

The times I get into my car, for example to do some shopping, it still feels like I've ended up in a surrealist movie. I am saddened by the empty streets and all the entrepreneurs who have been forced to close their doors. It is now extremely important to support your local entrepreneur. This is possible because you order meals or buy products online. You can support restaurants, beauticians, hairdressers and nail salons, for example, by buying a gift voucher now that you can redeem later. Almost all companies deliver to your home or ship. If you support now, you will also be able to enjoy that nice store you love so much or that special eatery.

I have respect in this time for all parents who are at home with small children. They should not only work from home but also keep their children busy and help with schoolwork. Great respect also for everyone in care.

When this blog appears, we have started the last week of the challenge. What has it brought me and my dearest so far? My dearest has not noticed any physical or mental differences, he does not miss the alcohol, but is not going to stop completely after the challenge. I myself notice that I have significantly more energy and my skin looks better. I don't miss the alcohol, although a glass of champagne.....

I also have respect for everyone who, for whatever reason, participated in this challenge. Whether or not you drank during the challenge. You are all champs. Only a few more days until the challenge is over. We managed to get that together nicely.
