I won't host any swaps in December and January due to the mailing issus around Christmas. I'll continue my series in February.

In July I visited my family for the second time this year as my brother married on July 3. It was the first time after COVID19 started that I travelled by ICE and it was a little bit strange to wear a face mask for 5 hours.

And on May 5 again on sick leave, this time a grumbling appendix. Looks like I'll have a great 2020...

Back to work since April 6, but still have a cough.

Second week on sick leave as I got temperature on March 26 and felt very miserable on March 28. My legs felt like jello and I stayed in bed almost all day.

Since March 23 I'm on sick leave. I have a cold. At least I think it's just a cold, but who knows. Doctor told me not to visit the doctor's office. Stuffy nose, sore throat, coughing, sneezing. Body temperature normal (36,5 °C). No limb pain. I got a flu shot in October, so it won't be the flu.

As of March 22 further restrictions have been proclaimed but no ban on going out so far.

Due to the partial shutdown in Germany starting tomorrow, March 17, I dropped from most swaps where partners haven't been assigned yet. I'll also stop hosting swaps in March or April.

My grandpa passed away on Jan 11 at the age of 93. He was in a retirement home for almost a year. My mum and my aunt visited him daily since the beginning of December as he wasn't doing well. They also spent several hours on Jan 11 with him so he wasn't alone. As I live 450 km away from them I couldn't visit him that often but was there on Christmas.

Working full-time and doing distance learning for my Master's degree, so not much time for swapping these days. This is why I mainly do postcard swaps now as you don't need so much time for these. My last test was on Nov 15 - at least I hope it was the last. So now I need a theme for my Master's thesis and plan to begin with it in February 2020.
