Fun! I’m glad you got to rest. I took on a “klusje” that I shouldn’t have at the last minute and regretted slogging through it during the vacation. But I finally got a few days to recharge and am so happy to be back at it again now. Curious about your book!

Ah yes, so tempting to take on those klusjes. But even having a little bit of work is still work isn't it? On the flip side, I feel like I have to dig myself out of a hole now before I can get anything done.

Glad I'm not the only one heading into 2025 quietly! The hustle culture has lost its shine eh?

Say ‘productivity’ and I might just have a temper tantrum. 😏

Happy New Year to you and your family! Take it easy with your book. It will be great to read it whenever it's ready. Enjoy your free time with no guilt. You deserve it. Sending you and your family wishes of a kind and peaceful 2025! Love, Cláudia from Bazil (very hot here, I wish it was winter break)

Thank you Cláudia! The book will come out in Dutch first, it may take a while before there’s an English version. Hope you did receive 5500 Miles of Comics?

You take it easy too in that heat!

I feel like I was on vacation with you then gloating at your child's babysitting experience. Thanks for sharing your inside life!

It only took 18 years, but now she (sort of) knows what it’s like ☺️
