Die Ryna ist nun seit 2 Wochen bei mir auf 'Pflegestelle'.

Zur Vorgeschichte:
Ryna war schon seit Februar'22 in der privaten rumänischen Tierauffangstation, die Besitzerin der Station hat vorher seit September'21 gebraucht um das Vertrauen von Ryna zu erlangen damit sie mitgenommen werden konnte. Ryna war häufig beim Kaufland in Tecuci und versuchte da etwas Essen zu ergattern, leider gibt es halt nicht nur Tierfreunde und so musste Ryna auch sehr oft Abweisungen und Tritte erfahren. Zum Glück hatte sie dann aber Vertrauen zur Besitzerin der Station gefunden so das sie dann in Sicherheit gebracht werden konnte.
In der Station hatte die Ryna zwar Freunde gefunden, aber auf Dauer ist das nichts und die Station wurde auch immer voller. So entschied man das Ryna auf Pflegestelle in Deutschland kommen sollte. Das auch mit schweren Herzens für die Besitzerin der Station, beiden hatten sich im Herz geschlossen. Aber das Wohl der Hunde steht immer im Vordergrund.

Und nun ist die kleine Dame schon seit 2 Wochen hier. Und die kleine macht jeden Tag auch etwas mehr Fortschritte, wo die ersten Tagen die Gassirunden nur sehr kurz waren sind diese nun schon bedeutend länger. Die Ryna ist zwar noch verunsichert (was aber bedingt durch die Vorgeschichte kein Wunder ist), aber sie mausert sich immer mehr. Die kleine Dame mag aber auch ausgiebig zu kuscheln. Mit meinen Kater Oskar (der ja nun auch schon 13 Jahre alt ist) ist die Koexistenz kein Problem, da bin ich auch gespannt was die beiden in Zukunft noch aushecken.

Wir (Ich und der Verein Hopscotch Tierhilfe e.V.) suchen nun für Ryna ein liebevolles neues Zuhause wo sie einfach nur Hund sein darf ohne die Ängste die sie bisher erfahren musste. Die kleine Dame hat das Verdient und bis dahin werden wir noch schauen mehr Selbstsicherheit aufzubauen.

Und ich werde nun öfters hier berichten, keep tuned!

Definitely the season for Minecraft again. A friend suggested FTB Inferno to me and I have to say that's a great suggestion! Just look at how this story starts out! I would say that is pretty cool, but the Nether is a very hot place!

I'm pretty glad WhatsApp got some troubles... suddenly my coworkers have absolutely no problem adding Signal. 😋

Oh wow. I knew most offices and classrooms would get their tiny kitchens replaced during fall break... but we actually got fridges too?! I thought we were supposed to save money or something, heh.

Wait.. "wherever I drive my tank, it's all my beloved land"? :P

Wtf has this guy been smoking?

I did a good job keeping my teeth clean according to the dental hygienist. So that's nice!

Watched a few episodes of Nobody's Looking, a Brazilian series on Netflix. It's actually hilarious in concept.

Angeli have rules they have to follow. One angelus decides that this won't do. Breaks rules one by one. Gets the world a little bit in a mess and tries to fix it.

*Sniffle*
"Take it sleazy"
I just finished binging this and it's still as good as ever.

Once I was dead, it was curiously easy to accept it.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked.
Death extended a bony finger, pointing at a tall tower in the distance.
"What is that?"
"Your unread books. Unwatched films. Unplayed games. Etcetera."
"Oh. How much time do I have?"
"All."

Oh neat, Obsidian's got a major update to 1.0.0, lots of changes and improvements. Time to go tinker with it!

Aw, RIP Angela Lansbury. 96 years old is a pretty good age to reach.

She's played some very nice roles, though most I'll remember her by is as Jessica Fletcher in Murder She Wrote.

Whew, my teeth are fine according to the dentist.

Seeing more and more birds flying in V-formation. That's when you know it's not going to be warm for much longer.

I've finished reading 3 Dutch books in the past bunch of weeks, trying to figure out now what to read next.

What I've read:

- Huize Volverve (House Volverve) by Monique van Roosmalen. Reasonably entertaining story about an elderly home where you see the flashbacks of those old people and how they interact with each other and how connected they are after all from the past. And no, this was not a murder mystery, heh.

- Het huis met de rode luiken (The house with the red shutters) by Marja Visscher. A historical fiction. A few people have actually existed, and this story is partly based on history, about when the Dutchies were trying to decide whether they wanted to support royalty or become a republic instead. And later a bit about the colonisation of Indonesia. But that's not the focus, just the backstory. The focus is a woman married to Herman Willem Daendels, about how she experienced her life with this unpredictable man. Not bad.

- De atlas van overal (The atlas of everywhere) by Deniz Kuypers. About the writer who's half Dutch and half Turkish. He's not understanding his own feelings and his relationship with his Turkish father very well, and tries to write this off (this book basically) in order to try to understand. There's a lot of (made up) stories about his father. Interesting mixed memories.

So yeah, that's some variety there. Other books I tried but dropped were:

- De Zwarte Wolvin (The black she-wolf, Loba Negra) by Juan Gomez-Jurado, the Dutch translation was awfully dry and felt out of place. A shame because the premise wasn't bad.
- Perfecte moord (Perfect Kill) by Helen Fields, I might actually read this someday but it is NOT recommended for reading before bed... Way too intense in the first chapter already.
- Ik zal je nooit meer (I will never you...) by Tatjana Almuli, totally not interested in this topic. Writing style's not fully to my liking either.
- Herinneringen aan hem (Reminders of him) by Colleen Hoover, still undecided, might try it a bit further but I want to read something completely different.

Maybe I want to read a StarTrek book now, or some other scifi. Time to search my library I guess.

I'm still pleased as fuck that I found out a few days ago that I do have a thermos teapot after all. It'll be pretty useful the coming months.

Whoopitidoo, that was a fire alarm test. Thankfully it's nice and sunny today.

Whelp, theme at my job today is 'GIGA GREEN'. I've got a somewhat greenish tshirt and and a dark green cardigan... Thankfully I've got bright green Xmas socks, wearing them now. :P
