Welcome home, Axel!
So I got a kitty that was living on the parking lot, and I named him Axel.

I am literally exhausted. First year as a professor, new city, new home, everything is so exciting and I'm so grateful. But, the work load is so heavy, I haven't seen my family for 5 years, I haven't had a vacation for 10 years and sometimes it gets to me a bit. I will get through in a couple of hours but at the moment it is hitting me hard. Why do people share their birthday parties, mother days, father days,... on twitter? There are so many people in this world that for any reason being with family is an unaffordable luxury for them. Damn it, now I'm crying in my office first thing in the morning
First, real professorship and not adjunct h*ll? (I'm hoping you're tenure track.) Second, it's rough seeing people on social media who are blithely posting about something that you so desperately feel is being denied to you (for me right now it's engagements and weddings and my high school friends posting anniversary photos on facebook.) I know it's not much comfort from an internet person but I'm sending you good vibes.
Currently in a bus heading towards Bratislava, as promised here's link to showcase my prepared gifts https://twitter.com/NoNameFace10/status/1174457631622205440?s=19
Your gifts are are so creative and lovely, Beatrice :luv17: I’m almost more excited to see them (and you and Tabsy cheering with flags, hopefully ) than the competition itself!
Of all the places in my house that my huge, long-haired, light-colored cat could choose to sleep, he just had to pick right on top of my black sweater.
I want to thank you guys for all the support given over my trip to Nepela with gifts, it was such fantastic experience, to give back a bit of good skaters gave me
Sara was an absolute doll by bringing flower crown to the victory ceremony, she seemed so proud & happy to wear it, I couldn't be more happy! https://twitter.com/NoNameFace10/status/1175476585396408320?s=19

My confession: I watched the Free Dance and the first 2 podium ceremonies (sorry guys, I haven't been able to watch any of the Men yet) before going to bed last night... and I couldn't get to sleep because I couldn't stop smiling for you!
It just goes to show just how lovely a person Sara is. Beautiful on the inside as well as the outside.
And although Sara looks gorgeous all the time anyway, I have to admit that flower crown really did set her off.
But the best bit was the way Sara appreciated it so much. Hey, let's face it, she didn't have to wear it at all. But, she wore it at every opportunity she got.
Because of the way the organisers were rattling through the podium ceremonies, us watching on the stream didn't actually get to see her wearing the crown when the photos were being taken. But, we did see a member of their team standing waiting with the crown hanging from his arm. And such beautiful photos they were too!
And even the Spanish Fed showed their appreciation by actually crediting you in their posts!!! (I suspect you may have La Rhumba to thank for that, since she tagged the Twitter pages belonging to both you and Sara in a screenshot she posted a few hours earlier).
You're famous!!!
You know, it's a real pity the director of the stream was cutting to the highlights so soon after the skating was finished (before the skaters had even got off the ice!), because I would have loved to have seen Sara's reaction when you actually handed the crown over to her.
You have a great talent, Beatrice, and it is great to see it getting the recognition it deserves.
Keep up the good work!
