Hi Spyce,

Sorry for the super late reply but it seems my last message didn’t went through…

Hope you’re all good.

I don’t have much project or plan right now….Just trying to get back to a normal life after all this covid crisis (even though it’s not totally over). Working on opening myself a bit more and be more conscious about my feelings. Still doing some sports but also trying to recover from a tendonitis so taking it slow 🙂

Have a good day,

Emilie

Hey Heidi,

Doing good thanks ! It’s pretty intense lately at work, lots of stuff going on 🙂 but for good so I’m pretty happy that everything I’ve worked for during last year are finally seeing the light and that people are providing positive feedbacks 🙂

Emotionnally / Mentally I’m most of the time doing good except when I am tired, I have a tendency to be upset more easily on small things. I guess not being able to really socialise isn’t the best. But in the meantime, I know we don’t have the choice so living with it and waiting for the moment we will get back a bit of our life.
Fortunately I’m still able to go to my pole class on Saturday so I’m meeting with the girls for few hours and also going out of my place 🙂
(It’s not really allowed but as we are practicing at my trainer’s place it’s ok, and we are respecting distanciation, mask, cleaning and all and not more than 6).

For the recent ex, he sent me out a message for Christmas and then New Year so we exchanged some messages but not much connection than that. His house is ok, but now he is building his swimming pool, I think it should start next week or so. We are having casual talk, taking some news, as he asked if I finally rented my flat and how were the holidays and same on my side. I know he had a car accident, only his car got damaged, so he was supposed to buy a new one but that’s mainly it. I still need to give him his tool back and still owing him a restaurant but…everything is closed so not gonna happen soon lol I think it will end up like me buying a bottle of rhum to thank him lol

Here we still don’t have that much vaccine, but fortunately my grandmas were able to get their first shot and should get the 2nd one end of feb. Don’t know about my grandpa need to ask him…I’m not that excited to be vaccinated, but I have time to proceed this, it won’t be before summer at least…lol
The only thing I’m considering is that it should allow me to travel again otherwise…lol don’t like that much having stuff in my body. And I already got covid and not that bad one so not sure it’s really useful…Let see 🙂

On my end I met a guy, we were speaking for a week or so and we were supposed to go for a walk last weekend on Saturday but it was raining like crazy so we just spent the afternoon having tea at my place. We also met on Sunday for a walk this time under a little bit of snow lol
It was really nice we had great talk and fun. Nothing happened but we are still speaking every day.
He is 35, brilliant researcher (he is getting a price for his research now), he also has a startup in vegan friendly food supplement which is working well and is independent which is quite cool. He loves to run and is planning to do marathons around Europe when it will be possible so he does like to travel which is cool :). Also, he has already been married, and has 3 daughters and he is taking care of them alternatively with their mom after she disappeared from their life for some time…To be honest, he is so nice and kind and fun easy to talk to, that it doesn’t bother me. Also he is coming from a HUGE family and having other kids doesn’t seem to be an issue for him. So for now I’m just enjoying the time.
And just because I’m sure you will love this anecdote, first time we met he offered me a box of its food supplement, the second time he brought me some for my sister, and on Monday I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers with chocolate just because he lost a stupid bet.
So he is really a nice and attentive person.

Have a good day and nice long weekend !

Thanks ! That’s definitely a relief to know that they are both ok for now. My other Grandma has been able to be vaccinated. Let see if it works !

For now I think we don’t have yet 2 millions people who get the vaccine, they are late on delivering it…So for now it’s only “people at risk” and elder people. They are not planning to have everyone vaccinated before end of summer…it’s crazy.

For now we are still under curfew at 6pm and they closed again malls restaurant and bars are still closed of course. Only food shop are still open and small shops. They are waiting winter holidays I guess before putting us again in lockdown…We are just waiting for the announcement but we know it will definitely happen.

For the conversation part yes I don’t know, I guess I’m easily getting bored even if some guys seems interesting just because it’s only virtual and I’m not that much into it without knowing the person and see if chemistry is there in real or not. I could go virtual if I knew that the chemistry would be there with a first meeting at least but it’s so complicated…

Hope you’re still both doing good 🙂

Hi Heidi

Thanks sorry I forgot to answer. My grandma is back at her elder care house and we were not allowed to visit her for a week for quarantine purpose. She is doing ok.
My grandpa had been tested positive to covid and after a week he did a new test and was negative so quite a relief.
For the person renting my flat it seems things are going ok, I don’t know if he is respectful of my flat as I am using an agency to deal with him and for insurance purpose but I guess yes lol
Not much news on dating world…Speaking with few guys, but getting bored pretty easily as we are not really able to meet…And I don’t want to “engage myself” anything without meeting in person…I’m just bored and I drop the convo
I might meet someone over the weekend but not really sure…
We are expecting a new lockdown in few days (we should have news early next week) and we are still under curfew at 6pm so it’s quite complicated. But one clear thing is that it’s not gonna lifting but going in the more restriction side…We have more case, new variants are quite agressive so…

How about you ? How is it in US?

Emilie

[Emilie S]

Thanks !

[Emilie S]

Hi

Thanks for your message 🙂

Not much she is still at the hospital but she is stable. They are keeping her for observation…

So we are just waiting for her to be better and get back to her elder care house.

Hi Kanya,

Thanks for the message. I don’t have much news so far for my grandma but I hope it’s for the best…
I also got to know that my grandpa is probably a contact case for Covid…so he will go for a test in some days to check it.

I don’t know yet where I will travel…It would probably depend of my budget, time of the year, and with whom I would go…I don’t like to travel alone lol
I have of course a lot of ideas, some might drive me to my ancestor country (Poland, Austria…), I also want to go to meet a friend in Mexico she got married this year but only civil part and should do religious one when it will be possible for her to gather family and friends…I also want to go to Greek island, island, …and so much more lol Let see !

For the flat it is indeed a relief ! Hope the guy will stay for a long time and I wouldn’t have to go through all the process again to quickly lol

And it’s not that I’m not confident but I just don’t really know if it’s only because I’m resolved or if it’s because I am really confident 😉 It’s maybe a bit of both, as I’m resolved to this situation I’m confident that I don’t want to loose my time with useless discussion, dates, and so on lol I might have just review my priority again lol

Hi Kanya,

Oh ok that’s sad…and seeing the event at the Capitole isn’t a great time for America right now…Good luck with all of this !
For now in France we are remaining under curfew, in Paris ans Suburb for now it’s still 8pm but it’s 6pm for some area in the est area…
They are gonna make other announcement around Jan 20 about Winter holidays and if we will be able to go to ski or not…I’m missing this and holidays, I need a break from Paris so much…I didn’t moved since last winter holidays with my ex which seems like it’s been ages..I’m such a travel lover and it’s so frustrating right now…
On a totally other topic I finally managed to rent my flat since December 18th 😀 sooooo happy and relief that this things is finally done !
And for family I’m also happy that we were able to meet a bit during Holiday…one of my grandma is doing really well, the other one who suffered from Alzheimer isn’t in a really good shape right now. Since December 31st she is at the hospital because she felt on her head and had some stitches and she kept her for observation, but after she had an infection and so on…so she is still there…I don’t have much information right now but hope for the best…
And not sure I’m really clear and confident…I would rather say that I am “resolved” (not sure that’s the right translation) by the situation…lol

Hey both,

Happy New Year and best wishes for this New Year !!! Really hope it will be better than 2020 🙂

Kanya, it is indeed a redflag…so I should indeed ghost him…Will probably do now that all Christmas / NYE are done and no more need for me to be polite lol

So for NYE (I was working during the day) so I was just at home with my sister and her boyfriend we watched a movie and played “Just Dance” and went to bed after midnight. On NY we have been to our aunt’s place for a lunch with our grandma as well. Since then rest / Netflix / sport lol and now back to work !

Hi Kanya,

Thanks for your message happy new year too 🙂
Parc are open but it’s freezing and raining so…being out isn’t the best option lol except if you want to get cold haha
But if the weather is ok yes it’s possible to do so or go to a mall (but nothing to do there except shopping as our bar / restaurant are all closed).
So that’s why for now, not pushing anything much to move forward.

For the arguing guy, I’m feeling sad for him as he seems totally lost in translation but I’m also feeling upset as I don’t understand anything and he seems not to take into consideration that there is no point to send those message if nothing can come out from all this. The fact that he doesn’t seem to listen to me and what it feels for me. One of my friend told me to block him, but I’m not this kind of person…but it might be the best option in the end…

Hi Heidi,

Thanks for your message 🙂
It will definitely take some time to shift back to “normal” if we go back there one day lol
Maybe vaccine will help but I’m not too confident on this right now as the virus is having some mutation and all…Let see !

For the almost neighbour in fact we spoke together back in 2019 before I met my ex and then no discussion until last October but same we didn’t spoke until now so it’s not like we ARE discussing for a long time, it’s just we spoke long time ago lol and keep on “falling on each other” but we never met because 1st time we spoke we were living pretty far and then I met my ex and then covid…lol
So for now yes…just “entertaining”…but nothing concrete. And I’m not too comfortable with this dating scene because going to someone’s place isn’t as comfortable as going in a public place especially when it comes to attraction and “stopping” stuff to move too fast and so on…it’s more complicated and leads to weird situation (as the one I shared while I slept to this guy place).
Also the other guy with whom I argued send messages yesterday I answered and then nothing…I really don’t understand his point and behaviour he keeps on saying “it doesn’t look like me, I’m not like that usually and blablabla” but keep on doing stupid things…
Nevermind let see how 2021 will turn 🙂

Enjoy your NYE too !! 🙂

Hi Heidi,

Seems like a nice Christmas at least with your mom ! For us it was pretty weird as mentioned and I still can’t really realise that I wasn’t with my mom…We are bout to end this year but not sure anything will change early 2021…For us it seems they are thinking to change the curfew to 6pm starting January 2 so I don’t really see how we would be able to handle that…Let see…They are waiting for the result of Christmas and NY before announcing it…
We are just gonna be home on NYE with my sister and her boyfriend probably watching movie or playing cards or both lol
As we are meeting with family for lunch on the 1st we didn’t really wanted to take any risks for our grandma so it will be a chill NYE.

So I’m still active on the exercise side lol but not really on dating…Not being able to go for a coffee or restaurant or any activities by that time of the year doesn’t really ease this…Especially with the curfew things it’s not like if you could just go for a drink at a guy place and go back home you have to stay all night until 6 am…
I still did met a guy for a tea on a Sunday afternoon and meet him again on Tuesday and spend the night at his place but I didn’t really felt anything with him. He is nice and we had fun but while he kissed me there were no real chemistry. We didn’t had sex even if he wanted to … And I didn’t really gave him any news after that and neither he did.
I’m discussing with some guys, but I’m not really able to see how it could lead to anything without being able to meet. It’s easy to discuss online but feeling a real chemistry needs to be in real life. I had some news of the guy I met in September, he was a bit teasing me but it seems he didn’t even pay attention to that while I told him I didn’t see the point as he was thinking we were living to far from each other for something serious and then I told him I wanted to stop messaging as their were no point and we ended up arguing. He wasn’t able to understand why and felt punished and blablabla so I was the “mean girl” in the story…I tried to express how it felt for me but it seems he isn’t able to understand so I just quit these useless conversation.
And I was speaking with a guy for I think almost 2 months now but we never met and he is in south of France right now with his family for Holidays but not sure we will meet anytime soon or not…
and I am speaking to another guy, I already mentioned him long time ago as we were discussing back in 2019. We are now almost neighbour (something like 15 to 20 minutes) from each other, so let see if we manage to meet or not…But this curfew things is really a pain for all this…
So I’m kind of active and inactive at the same time lol not really expecting much about all this right now.

Hi Both,

Merry Christmas to both of you 🙂

Yes this year has run pretty fast and slow at the same time…Weird and mix feeling about it lol

For me Christmas wasn’t as great as it could have been…After having manage to get my mom for Christmas from the UK with all the existing restriction…we finally were not able to meet them as the day they were supposed to flight to France, UK boarders have been closed everywhere…Otherwise it was cool to be with my dad’s family and celebrate my aunt 60’s. But definitely sad not being able to be with my mom. At least I was with my sister and grandma but it didn’t feel the same…We did a zoom with my mom but…not the same…
For NYE nothing plan I’ll probably be home with my sister and her boyfriend as we have the 8pm curfew, also we are going to my other aunt (my mom’s sister) the 1st to celebrate NY and Christmas with her and my grandma so not gonna take the risk to go to a party and get covid again…
So it’s gonna be a weird NYE…

Apart from that doing ok, a bit tired so I took some days off but not enough I guess lol

What about you ?
Take care !!!

Emilie

Hi

Thanks again 🙂

I bought my desk on “FlexiSpot” if you want to have a look the cycle is there as well.

Yeah I am gonna put the Christmas decoration…this weekend or the next one I don’t know yet…Christmas will be weird this year and I might not be able to see my mom because of the Covid…

We have been announced that our lockdown would end December 15th but with a curfew again…But they gently say that it wouldn’t apply on Christmas Eve and NY eve…Otherwise back at home at 9pm. Also our restaurant / bars won’t open before January 20th and for now all our shops are gonna be able to open starting tomorrow morning…
So definitely weird…We are still in lockdown but allowed to go shopping for Christmas, they extend our right to be out for 3 hours and 20kms instead of 1h 1km…

Have a good day 🙂

Emilie

Hello Ladies !!!

Hope you’re doing great 🙂

Wanted to wish you a wonderful ThanksGiving and thank you for all your support since I joined this forum. You were definitely of a great help in my journey and I can’t thank you enough for this 🙂

Regarding your comment about clarity, not sure exercising really helps on this…but maybe ?

On this exercising note, I bought a new desk and it’s a sitting lifting one, and I have an cycle desk under it and it’s AMAZING !!!! I can sit, stand, cycle while I’m working and I am feeling much more better since I have this set up especially considering I’m spending more than 8 hours working lol
