## Shame on me, four days already
I have plenty to share with you all, but somehow I left all of my positive energy at Malta before flying back home. I told myself to keep posting daily, but it's almost 4 days ago again.. bad me! It was 3 days when I started writing this post yesterday, but like many times, I got distracted. I've been behind on playing Steemmonsters so the first day I was mainly busy doing laundry and trying to get back on track with playing daily quests. The temperature is low here, and a big difference compared to Malta. Where we landed on sunny and green looking Malta I felt instantly happy, landing at Budapest airport three days later made me feel slightly depressed instantly. 

## Just going with the flow
I will take it one day at a time, and I know I had the intention to make a daily post with a musical ABC weeks ago, and even started to write the first posts, I'm just not in the mood sorry. I will publish them as soon as I feel like it.. And then I found some really cool things, like the @berniesanders giveaway of Alpha packs for curation, which is really my thing. As I didn't feel my best self the day I read that, I decided to do that the next day, to find out it was closed already.. just my luck haha. I even didn't feel concentrated enough to start translating again, sorry @misslasvegas. I don't like delivering bad work, so please be a little patient with me. I did read your contest post, and I will try to join because it's really cool! <3

## There was good news too after getting back in the normal routine
My boyfriend had to start working again on Wednesday, and that day he heard that he got hired as a trainer for the company he works for. He was looking forward to a change of career and something new, so I'm happy for him that his hard work and commitment finally paid off. He will start as a trainer next week already, so at least that's a nice change for him. 

## Find my zen again
For me personally, it's just a matter of finding back my zen again, sounds stupid I know, but I feel so out of my routine and nothing goes as planned and that makes me feel even more bummed that it's winter and too cold to go somewhere some days. Sometimes I wish I was an animal that goes into a deep winter sleep during those months, to wake up when spring arrives :) After visiting Malta in December with a nice 19 degrees temperature, I now know that living in a country with a nice winter temperature like that is something that I really want in the future. For now we're "stuck" in Budapest for a while until we figure out where we will move to after we leave Hungary. I'm not a winter loving girl, although Budapest is so beautifully illuminated during the holiday season, it's not overcoming the disadvantages for me that come with the lower temperatures. 

>Note to self: don't make any promises and too many commitments for the first weeks to come, to try to find a new routine and feel zen again.. take it one day at a time and go with the flow. This will get me back on track quicker than demanding too much of myself. 

## So what about all these posts you promised Anouk?
Well, they will come when I feel like finishing them. But not as soon as I hoped maybe. I do have some nice things to share about several things and Malta was really lovely, and I'd recommend it to everyone. I plan on writing a review of our hotel too, as it was really nice. My music ABC posts will follow, once I feel like it.. Thanks for understanding :) That's just me, not my best during winter time ;)
