› Hello October! Life Lately, Halloween, School, Mental Health & Everything In Between | The EVERFLOW
So much has happened lately, my head can’t stop spinning. Building furniture, studying, shopping for the home, my mental health declining, celebrating 20 years as best friends and 2 years as cousins. Social training and so much more.
Hi, hello my pumpkins! It’s October and that means that it’s Halloween. Yes, Halloween started for me already in October last year — mentally — but in things etc. Oh well!
How are you all? I hope you all are doing amazing! How has your fall been so far? Or maybe you have another season? I know in some countries it’s summer now etc. Yeah, I can’t really have my brain work through that process at the moment. I know about Earth, rotations etc., but too much for me right now.
So, any plans for the upcoming week? I’m having meetings and celebrating my best friend / cousin who turns 37 tomorrow! 🥳 Woop.

I have so many pictures to show you all, but I thought I would make a collage later with some photos. I am currently in bed right now, struggling to stay awake 🥲 so I will fix it in the upcoming days — I’ve got a few things left to send my teacher > assignments < before I get new ones PLUS a big exam on Tuesday. Do not look forward to that, but the show must go on.

Goodnight my pumpkins! And sorry for being absent from EverFlow. -
› Shopping, Storage & DIY Chaos | Building Shelves My Way | The EVERFLOW
Shopping.. shopping and more shopping!
Remember when I wrote this [Chaos is an understatement in my head.] post? My fingers and hands is still hurting but here we are.
I did alot of damage on my bank card but it’s worth it. In ny apartment there are not so much storage spaces so these shelves will be amazing! Now I just need to continue do more damage on the card to buy containers etc to organize everything – E’s drawings, his toys in the living room etc.
I have not been able to build them all together due to the pain and no right tools so I have 1,5 shelf left to build. I managed to fix the biggest one though. Oh that one made me so mad! I tried to follow the instructions but it turned out they had marked pieces wrong so while having a friend on the phone I was swearing, arguing with myself etc i all off the sudden i said out loud “Fk this! I’M GONNA DO IT MY WAY!” so my friend laughed out loud and joked “YEAH! SHOW THE SHELF WHO’S THE BOSS!” So I did.
I managed to fix it my way and it looks correctly as the box etc so im good and happy.
The second shelf was easier to build but due to the pain i gave up after building half of it so I have 1,5 done and 1,5 that need to be built. Haha!
I will also do more damage later and buy more to put in E’s room instead of having floating shelves. More space, more storage for him and all his toys. I can’t wait to finally get everything at its place again. Chaos deluxe but no more toy boxes etc.
One of those red ones snapped and smacked my finger
So I am excited! My autumn/fall and winter project. I only need to paint them later. They do not look good but that will be a later project.
What’s going on with you guys?/ I had to make a new instagram due to the past but this time it’s locked.

› Back to School on Crutches | A Little EverFlow Life Update
Hello my spicy and beautiful pumpkins! 🖤 How are you all? “Long time” no seen.
I am truly exhausted — both mentally and physically!
Jumping on crutches is a pure workout and I am NOT built for workouts. Give me cookies and milk and I will be a happy person. Lol.
Anyway…
The reason why I have been absent is because I have been mentally preparing and struggling with school — yes, I know. Shit happens and I hate it there, but I do it for my son. Not only for him to have after-school care, but also to show him that it’s okay if you don’t graduate high school. You can always get an education later in life.
Monday: First day. Not prepared. Read here; [ link to Monday’s post ]
Tuesday: Went to school for like 1.5 hours. I couldn’t stay for a whole day. I was almost falling asleep in class, couldn’t focus and had a migraine on top of that. I hadn’t slept that night because of massive stomach pain that kept waking me up every 30 minutes. It was awful, and it kept going nonstop the whole Wednesday as well.
Friday [today]: Half day — woho! Love that!
Today we had a test — yes, a test already… first week — and I passed it. Woop!
We also had a “roleplay” where the teacher divided us students into two groups — four in each. We had to do a roleplay where two of the students were preschool kids and two had to be the teachers. One mean teacher and one “good” teacher.
Guess which one I was?
……….. *pause for guessing* ………..
If you guessed the mean one, you are correct!
So me “yelling” and being mean to one of the children — I went all out. I was acting like this horrible, mean teacher.
Wow! Almost so good that I deserve an Oscar!
That’s how good I was. 😂
After school,
I came home, supposed to do homework, but honestly — all my energy went into going to school and jumping around on crutches. My hands and arms are actually hurting from it, to be honest. It is brutal! I don’t understand how people can do it day in and day out to be honest! You guys are strong!
At least I’m going, which is a miracle for me.
Sure, I get a lot of stares, but I’m rocking those screaming, insanely blue crutches.
They are so ugly! It’s ridiculous.
Tomorrow I will study. I had to do paperwork for the insurance company, Lufthansa and their bullshit and yeah…
Exhausted Miima for sure!
So here is a quick post, quick check-in.
Hi! Here I am! Exhausted but still alive — barely — and ready to post again. Getting back to my routines again!
Thank you so, so much for checking in on EverFlow and for being patient with me. I really appreciate you! SO MUCH! 🖤
Much love to you, my pumpkins! 🖤 -
› How I Stepped Out of My Comfort Zone Despite Body Insecurities
Stepping out of my comfort zone while struggling with body insecurities felt terrifying, but after 30+ hours awake, six bus rides, and a full day of parenting, I still challenged myself to do something scary.
Even with zero sleep, I still did something my son loves — riding the bus.
We went into town to buy my Propud for smoothies, berries, and other essentials, but also to help E practice his social skills.
Two stores, heavy backpacks, and significantly poorer later…
We came home with a toy for E, candy, Pepsi Max (yup, of course), six protein shakes for my smoothies, frozen mangoes and raspberries, a bag of chips, ice cream, bananas, nicotine pouches, on-the-go yogurt, an energy drink, and a can of Pepsi Max.
Let me count…
1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6.
Six bus rides in just two hours.
That’s honestly insane.
At the same time, I challenged myself by stepping way out of my comfort zone — which felt terrifying.
How?
I tied up my shirt so it became a cropped top, meaning I showed a bit of my stomach (see pictures), and I also went out wearing lace leggings.
I never show my stomach, so that alone was huge for me.
Funny enough, the leggings were actually too big for me, which is a pretty massive result of my ongoing weight loss journey — WOHO!
That gives me even more motivation to keep going and reach my goal.
At least E was happy, and I didn’t crash, so I’ll call that a win 🙌🏼
I can honestly say I’m pretty impressed that even after 30+ hours with zero sleep… I was still up and walking. -
› 32 Hours Awake: Sleep Deprivation, Parenting & Pure Survival Mode
32+ hours awake, one overenergized child, zero brain cells, and caffeine as a personality trait. Welcome to survival mode. 😄🖤💀
Guess what? I still haven’t gotten any sleep.
It’s currently 5 PM, and I can honestly say: I A M D E A D.
Not literally, but you get what I mean.
My son is still all over the place, full of energy, and I’m honestly jealous. If I had even one percent of his energy, I’d be happy.
Headache ✅
Sound sensitive ✅
Light sensitive ✅
I was hoping I’d at least get a nap during the day, but with my luck… I doubt it.
I need to keep E awake for the rest of the day, otherwise I’ll probably have another night like this, and my body and mental health honestly can’t handle that.
So here we go 😵💫 A few more hours to survive.
I’m praying he sleeps tonight because I have a super important meeting tomorrow that I absolutely need to attend.
I’ve officially been awake for 32 hours and 30 minutes… and I definitely feel it.How’s your day?
