 Oh, I found a neat trick to help me with compulsive eating. I'll find more photos like this, print a calender and hang it on our fridge.
Lost all appetite within seconds.🤢

 Fucking customs. I'm waiting for two wooden spatulas from nostr:nprofile1qqsz8dkqec78zt8qhnh5atu3wfwvg2t8llxs2022an6azd7rplwwddgpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsdfsysg and first I got a letter, then I filled a form online and now I got an email that they need from the sender, which is him and not me, to write down what's in there and how much does it cost. 
We both wrote it there, I refilled his info with mine. Not to mention it's not their fucking business overall. And they'll charge me the keeping and might return it if they don't recieve the forms.

I might've lost my temper and wrote them rather some opinions than a helpful answer. Like "stop fucking blackmailing me and send it" in all caps.
nostr:nprofile1qqsz8dkqec78zt8qhnh5atu3wfwvg2t8llxs2022an6azd7rplwwddgpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsdfsysg, it's possible it will come back. Fucking assholes. I might pay them a personal visit. 
 Buy me a pint 🍺

 I can't, I don't have that many sats😅 Have my repost😅 
 Hey, it's a me! Absolutely fighting through the beginnings of the song in the finals. The voice is not meant to be like that, this is bear suffocating🥲 I had to grab the mic stand to not faint. But, as always, roaring at people helped.

I won a 3rd place out of 8 finalists with this, so I'm extremely happy I fought through and know it can definitely be better next time. Or next time. Or the one right after that.😆

Who doesn't know the song, it's a rock hit Seven nations army from White stripes, this is jazz cover. The judges did never appreciate me singing rock, so I went back in times when I was really into jazz and that worked.
And my friend (no, my enemy!, who slept at our place and won 1st) taped me so badly it's not really doxxing, so here you go.😄

 Dík! 30. si to dám v Rockopeře na besídce. Musím ty nervy zbrousit a učitel říkal, že prostě jen vystupování pomůže 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
 Man, I was dying. I was thinking to tell them to stop and give up. Thank you so much, all I see is like 20 big mistakes from movement to the techniques used - a list of what needs to be done better. 
 What's that👀😆 
 Řekla bych, že nejtěžší. Když neumíš prodat, co máš, nebo neustojíš tlak, tak Tě to začne drtit. Já nejsem trémistka, ale jak začne být tuhá atmosféra bez kontaktu s lidmi, evidentně je po mně jak po žabě. Na co hraješ? 
 Damn, that would actually get me up! 
 I just destroyed a big basket of wings and fries.
God bless America, especially that one on Žižkov!

 Follower numbers are super weird. I know I had like 1300+ and now have 700. I cut a few relays, but that shouldn't be an issue, right? Also I don't see many people I used to, but can find them - that can be because of me missing a lot of my timeline, but is it? 
I don't really care for follower numbers, but the number of followers lost is too big to not worry that I've cut myself out of something👀
#asknostr 
 Oh. I'm third. I won a thing! 
 Oh my. I blew up at the competition. I literally had to grab the mic in the stand to not faint. So many mistakes done within three minutes.
Well, we all learn through our mistakes and experiences. 
 Thank yoooou🫂 
 Kudos to the taxi driver going 110 on 50-70 in the city, because I'm sitting in the back covered in gold glitters crying about being late to the singing competition.
Honestly it all seems to refresh him on this grey cold morning. He drives how I would. Like he stole it.
We speak russian, which gives it a nice touch.
Oh he can go 110 in bus lanes, too. 
 I learned superfast that expensive sharp chisels cut hands so much better, no sarcasm😅 It just slides right into the meat and clean out, so it heals WAY better than a dull cut😬🫠

 Nono, you must use the sharpest. That way you cat slap that half cut met right back and tape it over quickly, before it starts bleeding👌🤗🌷 
 Oh, Babylon bee. They are the most accurate news of future events. 
 My friend lives in Malaga😍 They fled Ukraine, stopped for a bit in Munich where we met and then moved for better job opportunity there. I'd love to visit, but it's so far😫 
 GM
#proofofwalk and grandpa #dogstr so happy we're finally out of the city.

 You guys have water in the fridge?👀 It's a good tip though. 
 A twinset pair of pliers'? 
 I'm so confuss😭😅 
 Azbuka is fun! Why are you learning? I learned it within hours. We were taught on musicology schwabacher this way: sit down and write your life as an essay. Keep writing whatever like in school. Two pages later you don't look for hints anymore.🤗 Then do the same thing with printing letters, because they're vastly different 😬
(It doesn't apply to arabic, hebrew and asian languages😬) 
 Ugh, let the good times be gin. 
 I love blue mushrooms!🫶
It's such fun to watch them turn color during cutting.😄

 I've never been more excited for wednesday in my life. 
 What's happening? 
 Enough for two hours, I'm depressed now from very little progress. This is the part no other musician sees. Singing is also difficult like hell. It will take many hours of practice to just cover a song well - or a god given extra talent - or decades of studying the whole thing.

 Nic jinýho od něj neznám 😅 Vybrala jsem si to v téhle verzi. https://youtu.be/sB6HY8r983c 
 No já to podobně odzpívám po měsíci poctivýho tréninku, kterej jsem neměla 😬 
 It's super easy, that makes it pretty hard😬 
 You're right! Time to shitpost some gems.😆🫂

 GM, Nostriches, how's your Monday going?
I'm still annoyed from the weekend, I didn't play in theatre on Sunday as planned. People were day before fighting each other, talking about their hurt feelings when we had very tight timeframe to retrain the thing, disrespecting director's orders although she's an absolute asshole having it coming for years. Since she put in one new person extra and whole choreography fell apart, I decided to drop out from this drama completely, I'm sick anyway.
Honestly, fuck this mess, it was so unprofessional. But I like playing, I'm trained and I've been doing this play last two years, so it superannoying to decide whether I'll stay in this embarassing ZOO or drop out and lose it probably forever. Eh. Eeeeeehhh this one stings.

That said, I have national singing competition finals on Friday! That one when I asked what song to choose. And I didn't work on it, because kids were home sick all the time and it's impossible to do something related to music with two coughing goblins around.

I'll have a coffee, an aspirin and work through the song for a few hours. One goblin stayed home today and second demanded to be picked up from kindergarten right after lunch, so there goes my working day. I'd kick a wall. 
 Nevysílá, doufám. Mají příšerný webovky, je mi stydno je sdílet.😅 A já chodím sama, takže vlastní nahrávky nemám. Teď v pátek mám finále a v šestek jdeme s manžou do kostela kdesi na jedničce na vyhlášení vítězů a koncert. Zda to bude brát nějaká televize vlastně ani nevím.😅 Já su soutěžící jak noha🥲😅 
 Oh my gawd. I started to burn some nice candles and put them on the only place safe away from the kids and tall enough to heat nothing above. Our family portrait is supposed to go there, but we're too lazy to do it. There's just one big, pretty book that doesn't really fit elsewhere.

And I looked at it now. We have a freaking shrine of nostr:nprofile1qqs0z3lg0n83dm2mkw53me2n3tcp2sgdhpkyzde7pvun8tjvjpwd0lcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcs94xm4. 👀

 Right? It's sometimes not even funny anymore, especially older articles. 
 What a shame you guys didn't cross Prague! 🫂 
 Why is that? A passport thing or are we just crazy expensive?🥹 
 Well if you guys plan it, I'd be happy to help you out. We're in the middle, so there's everything culturally typical for surrounding countries here. 
 Every Nostrich is welcome at our place🤗 
 Can't. I'd party hard through all the summer. 
 Actually you know what
*joins home surround system* 
 Yup. And live production makes me very easily cry, it's just too much. May I recommend Dvořák's New World next? It's a bit of jump to modern classics, but it has heart in longing after Czechia while seeing New York over waters for the first time. He lived there and missed his homeland, Largo is very famous. I'm of course advocating for my country.😁

You might enjoy the next piece in this list, Vltava (Moldau) from Bedřich Smetana. It's a river flowing through Prague, the music covers all the stages of it - from the little streams joining together in the forests, becoming a river, there's village wedding as well as night fairies dancing at night and then it reaches magnificent and wild Prague's weirs, there's motives of views on our castle and at this point I'm basically fully blown two-tailed lion with a tear on my cheek.

 Bahahaha 😆 No já vyrostla na Elánech a Vašo byl můj hrdina, pak dospívání s No Name a teraz cokoliv od Horkýže, takže za mě má Slovensko rozhodně co nabídnout.❤️❤️❤️ 
 I found this thing as a tattoo design on Pinterest, but it's so neat that I might use it as an inspiration for some embroidery.

 My cat just bit my book. He bit. My book!!! 📖 wtf 😬 #catstr 
 My cat was freaking out and attacking my books😄 The sound of turning paper was too much, I've been often reading with a nose and upper teeth hung from behind. So many dots in my books. 
 That's the way they rule👹 
 My cat was half nordic and I had her since 3 weeks of age. I nursed her and carried her in arms after each meal, she bathed with me and walked often on two, had terrible sense of humor, picked up phones meowing in them and talked back. Bloody awesome cat, I'd let her eat any book. 
 When there is no electriciy you have other things to worry about:

- there's no water (relies on ... 
 To vždycky říkám na argumenty "ale co když nebude elektřina?" Vole jestli nebude elektřina na levelu, že nebudou internety ani počítače, máme úplně jiný problémy než Bitcoin. 
 GM, let's all go outside. 
 Thanks, I must. I'm full of evil and despair for several hundreds of people tomorrow. Now it's just despair😅
