Weekly diary #10: I celebrated my birthday!

Weekly diary #10: I celebrated my birthday!

Posted on September 21, 2017January 24, 2023

Hi and welcome back to this 10th weekly diary! I’ve decided to elaborate the titles a little bit as you can see haha. Here’s weekly diary #10: I celebrated my birthday!

Thursday

Today wasn’t such a special day. I went to school and worked on school in the library for a few hours afterwards. On my way home I got soaked by the rain. Summer is my season, then it’s warm! I like winter least due to the weather. But there are things I do like. Christmas with the family and New Years Eve for example. At night I had another handball training. Saturday is our first game again. Exciting!

Friday

A day off from school and so I decided to not set an alarm. On the one hand I like waking up by the sun, very slowly. But on the other hand I also like to sleep in a very dark room, with roller shutters. When I sometimes sleepover at family I always wake up by the sun because they don’t have those roller shutters and then I really enjoy that. Maybe I should do some research too, to see what’s best for my health. Today I also took some steps again for my businessplan and did some things for my to-do list. I handed in my first test for school. A report on how you can make your house as sustainable as possible. I also made myself a good smoothie. A while ago I had one at the Broodbode and I really liked it. With spinach, soy milk and a banana. A good way to get in some vitamins!

Saturday

I got up early because I was doing a canteen shift at the baseball club of my brother. My parents don’t want to and so they have to pay or send someone in their place. That’s me, but I’m receiving the money they save too. It really made me think about volunteering. I want to do it, but it’s hard to combine with school and my job. I also downloaded a new app on my iPad today and I must say now, I’m addicted to SimCity… We had our first handball game today with the handball team and we won! 19-17! It was great to play again and go into the city center after the game with some of the players. It’s been a while since I drank alcohol, I only do it together with others. I asked for a cocktail without a straw, but instead I got two! Well, at least I tried. It was a fun night after all.

Sunday

I had a few fun things planned today. First up, my vegetable garden. It was time to harvest the carrots. And that really showed me how uniform all carrots in the stores look because mine had really different forms. Beauty comes in all shapes, right? All things I harvest but don’t eat I put back onto the soil so that the plants can take the nutrients from that compost. You’ll never see me sweeping leaves in the garden either, I think it’s a waste of time and effort. They look pretty, feed the soil and serve as a shelter for animals/insects! What I did sweep today was waste. I went trash-picking with a friend again. We made a Facebook page too, I’ll tell you more about that soon when it’s launched. We also baked a cake together. My dad had already bought a package to make an apple crumble pie. A bit of a bummer because I wanted to make a vegan cake. But sweet! He didn’t have to buy it but he did. We used the apples from our garden to make the pie, these are a little too sour to eat raw. No waste, we even left the peels on. At night I got back to my SimCity addiction and watched some tv.

Monday

I was off from school, but I did work from 7 till 5 at my part-time job. It was the first time I worked alone, but it all went well. After work my boyfriend came by, since it’s my birthday tomorrow! We couldn’t wait and already ate some of the apple crumble pie. But we did have something to celebrate already, today I had the honor of welcoming the 1000st visitor on this blog! Wiehoee! After only a year, I’m so proud. Thank you!

Tuesday

It’s my birthday! I turned 19! I already ate some cake yesterday, but today between classes my boyfriend and I went to Choco in Deventer. Soooo good! Unfortunately they had no vegan options. But it was a good way to spend lunchtime. I felt all energized back at school afterwards. Going to school at all is a privilege I have, but on your birthday it’s even more special. My boyfriend gifted me a day at the spa and a dinner afterwards. Yes, experiences! After a whole year I forgot how fun birthdays are. It was a fun day!

Wednesday

What did I have for breakfast today? Cake! Yes, we had some leftovers and those are not going into the bin. What a way to start a day. Cake at 6:45 in the morning. I wish I could live like this every day, it’s good. Today I got up early, but not for class. I did have class but I went to school early to work on my businessplan. This way I can do a lot throughout the day. After school my grandpa and grandma came by for cake. That was the last of it, I promise.

Yours sincerely,
Romee

    Ik heb de petitie voor de sleepnetwet getekend, zodat er tenminste een referendum komt 😛 Of je voor of tegen bent, kun je daarna altijd nog beslissen 🙂

ABOUT ME

 

Hi! My name is Romee Hoeksma and I am on a journey to an eco-positive life. An eco-positive lifestyle is a lifestyle in which I have a more positive than negative impact on the beautiful planet earth. On this blog you can follow my journey to a life with only positive impact. At this blog you can find all sorts of things, from tips to recipes to personal experiences, but most of all fun (I hope!). I write about how I want to change the world, but don’t look at it as if I’m judging you. If anything, I like responses from my dear readers the most, so don’t hesitate to contact me or respond to any of my posts!

Yours sincerely,
Romee

Ik gebruik al jaren een bamboe tandenborstel, die van Humble Brush 🎋. Naast dat hun product duurzaam is, doen ze ook wat moois met de winst. Dat maakt een product nou echt eco-positief! Je leest meer over poetsen met bamboe op mijn blog, via de link in mijn bio. Vandaag op de blog: iets waarbij de relatie met eco-positief leven wat indirect is: diëten. Januari is dé maand waarin veel mensen weer aan het diëten slaan en daarom leek het me goed om deze post nog net op de valreep in januari te delen. De blog van vandaag gaat slechts over één van de vele nadelen van diëten: het leidt ons af van wat echt belangrijk is 🧐. Weten waarom ik dat denk? Lees dan nu het artikel via de link in mijn bio. Ik ga dit jaar weer de challenge aan om de winter door te komen zonder de warming aan te zetten. Hiervoor ging mijn essential, een warmwaterkruik 💦, kapot. In deze reel laat ik je zien hoe ik een ‘nieuwe’ tweedehands kruik kocht. Vandaag te lezen op whenateengoesgreen.com: een inspirerende documentary over Greta Thunberg: I am Greta. Een documentaire over hoop, maar vooral over doorzettingsvermogen 🔥. Lees het nu via de link in mijn bio. Meer vegan producten in de schappen, yay! Gisteren probeerde ik voor het eerst de vegan lentil tikki masala saus van Patak’s 🧑🏼‍🍳. Zie in deze reel wat ik ervan vond. Vandaag verscheen er een nieuw artikel op mijn blog over: 5 dingen die ik niet koop. Want we denken vaak dat we dingen écht nodig hebben, maar vaak is dat niet zo 🧠. Check het artikel via de link in miijn bio. Vorige week verscheen er een artikel op mijn blog over alles wat ik nieuw kocht in 2022. Dat is een groot deel van mijn negatieve impact. Deze week was het tijd om te kijken naar de andere kant van de medaille. Vandaag lees je op mijn blog een artikel over al mijn positive impact in 2022 🌞. Je vind de link naar het artikel in de link in mijn bio. Afgelopen week verscheen er op mijn blog een artikel over alles wat ik nieuw heb gekocht in 2022. Eén ding op de lijst waren deze onderbroeken (een stuk of 20). En nu denk je misschien: waarom zou je in één keer zoveel onderbroeken kopen? Op 31 december, nog net op de valreep in 2022, kwam er een video online op mijn Youtube-kanaal over voedselcoöperaties. Ik denk namelijk dat voedselcoöperaties ons voedselsysteem democratischer en eerlijker kunnen maken 🥦.
