Happy 2021! How strange: it must have been the most expected new year, yet the least celebrated. Restaurant closed, lockdowns and social distancing have been killing the joyfulness and fun of this festive season. Meanwhile, we, 3 humans and a cat, try to find our rhythm in Maine. Still missing our dad and husband inContinue reading “Guten Rutsch! *”

Mornings Q
I couldn’t run during the all quarantine at home. I injured slightly my ankle in Singapore and that got worse the first day I came back in Maine. So I decided I needed a break from running, and my outdoor workout was to climb on the top of the closest mountain, going by feet allContinue reading “Mornings Q”
Fall quarantine
Quarantine in Maine: the luxury of getting out without meeting anyone else and witnessing the wonders of the fall in the area. Magic instants that are only waiting to be shared…..
Q-Workout Cardio routine
I spent time (and I had plenty!) developing and mastering a morning workout that would motivate me enough to continue exercising while confined in the one and only hotel room. I kind of promised it, so here it is, an amateur training that hopefully will inspire you a bit. The workout consists of about 25Continue reading “Q-Workout Cardio routine”

Q-Day 12
Monday. I should go back to work more than ever: prepare myself to be in peace for the next holidays! I must admit: this weekend I watched more iPad than I ever did. I watched my first series in Netflix and spoiled myself with videos in YouTube. My favorites are argentine tango dances. I amContinue reading “Q-Day 12”
Q-Day 11
Sunday. An important event happened today: swab test. My appointment was at 10:15, I was already back in the room at 10:12… Singaporean efficiency!! The test was a bit uncomfortable, you have just the impression that they tickle your brain; but I already forgot the feeling, so that’s fine finally. “Escorted” all the way toContinue reading “Q-Day 11”
Q-Day 10
Reaching the 2 digits in my counts, yeah! That’s why I celebrated. Dinner ordered from the restaurant: green salad and a beer! Well I had to wait about an hour and a half, so I ended up eating half of the provided dinner and not getting this excitement for the beer anymore. The salad (withContinue reading “Q-Day 10”
