Dear Diary, I’m honestly shocked… Turns out, I actually love kids!

I had such a wonderful day with my friends and their kids—running around by the lake, chasing ducks and laughing, while the other adults just sat back, smoking hookah and relaxing.

Each child has such a distinct personality—stubborn little souls, but so incredibly sweet. It felt like being in a fairytale surrounded by tiny, magical creatures.

The day went really well overall. We even had time to squeeze in a board game, which was a nice touch.

The view from the house was absolutely stunning—perched on a slope that leads straight down to the lake. It reminded me so much of my own countryside place… only my lake is way smaller, sadly.

What truly caught my eye though was the woodworking workshop they had. I was so envious—it was beautiful! I need one of those in my life.

At the end of the day, one of the little girls fell asleep on my shoulder.

And oh my God… that moment. It’s hard to put into words how wonderful it is when a child chooses to trust you, accepts you, and lets you into their private, safe little world. It’s one of the most precious feelings I know.

I’m really happy with how the day turned out—except for the fact that my chest and throat hurt quite a bit. But aside from that, it was a perfect day.

The barbecue came out amazing, and I made a few different kinds of salads for everyone.

The other women didn’t really help out much, but honestly? I didn’t mind at all. I actually enjoy cooking on my own without too many people getting in the way.

And I think they were just happy to chill out and enjoy the moment—which makes me even more glad I could contribute to that.

But still… I’m tired.

All the socializing wore me out. Now I need to recharge my energy and try to bring my fever down.

I can feel it creeping back up again, and tomorrow’s a busy day.

I’d really like to go to the gym too—if I’m not feeling worse by then.

You know…

There was one thing missing from this lovely day—one person.

Physically, he wasn’t there, but in my mind and heart, he’s always with me.

I share all my joys and sorrows with him, even from afar.

And I hope he can feel the warmth I’m sending his way…

Now I’m going to make myself a cup of tea, check my temperature, and take some medicine.

I think that’s enough from me for today.

Good night😊
