Wearing skirts and dresses as a man. Outdoor mug and fleece blanket. I gave notice on my apartment at the end of February.

November 15, 2024.

I asked myself: isn't wearing a skirt in summer much better than shorts? I immediately got the earworm:

"There's nothing under the kilt,
There is nothing and there was nothing,
but above it hangs a big bag of pipes."

Men have worn dresses and skirts for thousands of years. Why this is not the case today remains a mystery to me. Why should clothing depend on gender at all? That doesn't make any sense to me.

In the café, I gave three months' legal notice to quit the apartment at the end of February. There's probably no way back.

On the way home, I popped into an outdoor store called “Polarfuchs”. They sell cookware and ultralight clothing. In another store I bought a cool stainless steel mug for 2 euros. It weighs 112 grams and has a carabiner as a handle.

I also bought a compact fleece blanket for 3 euros. I'm doing an experiment: instead of sleeping on the 12 cm thick foam mattress, I'm using the current blanket as a base and the fleece blanket to cover the body. This makes the bed even harder than firmness level 4. Personally, I could also sleep directly on the wooden floor. The only problem is that the guests wouldn't be able to.

I also sorted out two more essential oils. Nothing else happened today. Well, to be honest, something did happen. I want to cuddle a lot, snuggle, kiss like a tomcat with a kitten. Unfortunately, it's not going as I hoped with the kitten. Snuggling - not happening. I wonder: Maybe I haven't met the right kitten yet?

Oh dear... *sigh* Chin up, Alexander! As Gandalf beautifully said: A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it will shine even brighter.

See you tomorrow!

I am grateful today:

• For daring to quit the apartment.
• I have found a cool, inexpensive outdoor mug that will replace the current mugs.
• For conjuring up a delicious lentil dish.
