βΊ One Week Later… Recovery Isn’t Going as Planned
Happy Monday! π€
New week!
New possibilities!
New goals!
One week ago, I was on my way back from NiΕ‘, Serbia. It’s crazy how fast time flies!
I still haven’t gone through the photos from my camera, so I can edit them and show you all. The unexpected detour to the emergency room, along with the pain, has my full attention right now. Yep… I’m still dealing with the pain with no painkillers or anything.
I have a few people waiting for their photos, so I’m going to try to sort everything out either tonight or tomorrow.
I just wanted to pop in and wish you all a wonderful week! π€
I’ll be back on The EVERFLOW as soon as possible, but right now my main focus is simply trying not to break down because of the pain.
The difference is.. *chefs kiss*
Much love to you, my pumpkins. ππ€ -
βΊ Hello from Skopje, North Macedonia | My Day Trip from Sofia
Hello from Skopje, North Macedonia! π²π°
How are you all doing? Me? I have a headache thanks to the heat and the sun. π₯΅
Skopje was so much more interesting and fun to photograph than NiΕ‘, Serbia.
Tired Emma
I’ll show you everything later. I just found a decent enough internet signal to make a quick post!
β€ Skopje, North Macedonia β€ Sofia, Bulgaria β€ Bed.
I’ll be back at the hotel around 11:00 p.m.
Yes, I did some shopping, but I mostly went hunting for a fridge magnet that said North Macedonia. It was surprisingly hard to find one. I finally did… and honestly, I don’t even like it. π But I collect a magnet from every country I’ve visited.
Well… not Norway, Finland or Sweden. Those don’t count. π
So far I have:
Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Venice, Italy, NiΕ‘, Serbia and now Skopje, North Macedonia
Anyway, I’m just waiting for the bus back now. Wish me luck!
Yes… I fell asleep twice on the way here. I probably snored really loudly, but I honestly don’t care. π I’ll probably fall asleep on the way back too.
I’ll write more later. π€ -
βΊ Sunrise Over Sofia, Bulgaria Before My Day Trip to NiΕ‘, Serbia
Good morning, my beautiful souls. π€
Today is the day for my first trip β€ NiΕ‘, Serbia!
I’m currently on the bus, on my way to Serbia, and I can honestly say… I’m exhausted. I was so exhausted that I actually fell asleep and missed all my alarms.. ALL OF THEM! Luckily I woke up at 6.22am so I got ready fast and rushed to the metro / subway and now I’m here β just waiting to board the bus.I’ve noticed that ever since I arrived in Bulgaria. I’ve set several alarms so I could wake up early to catch the sunrise and take some photos with my camera, but I’ve honestly slept through every single one of them and ended up waking up around noon instead. It’s pretty frustrating, to be honest.
I’m going to try and get some sleep on the bus now. Hopefully I won’t snore… or sleep through the border crossing and forget to turn on airplane mode on my phone. π
β€ Sofia, Bulgaria β€ NiΕ‘, Serbia β€ Sofia, Bulgaria
Today’s plan? Photography, water, sports drinks, and hopefully finding something to eat that my stomach actually approves of.
I’ll be taking photos with both my phone and my camera. I use my phone so I can share photos with you here on The EverFlow a little faster. π€BUT NOW I’M ON MY WAY! NIΕ , SERBIAΒ NEXT! (Once I’m in the bus)
(I took this photo in a rush just for this post!)

βΊ A few glimpses of my Thursday.
A day filled with thoughts, fears, flowers, camera gear, and small moments in between.
A regular day with a lot of thinking. I attended a workshop for parents of autistic children. We learned tips and ideas on how to handle depression and how to notice the signs before it is too late.
It scared me. It made me face the reality that my son mayβhopefully notβdevelop depression and suicidal thoughts in the future. Apparently, it is extremely common among children with autism, which means he is at high risk.
So this course was a must for me. I think it was more directed toward parents of teenagers, but it was still good for me to learn about the warning signs and what to look out for in the future.
I have personally been through all of this myself, and I am currently struggling with depressionβthough no suicidal thoughts anymore. I had them when I was younger, and I think that is what scared me the most. I do not want him to follow in my footsteps, so I am taking every chance I can to learn more about autism, mental health, and everything in between.
So today, when I picked up E from after-school careβor whatever to call it β I hugged him tightly and almost broke down crying.
Why?
Because I am scared.
I am terrified of the future. Terrified that E will follow in my footsteps. And honestly, I now understand what my mom went through with me. I owe her my whole heart for all the protection, love, and support she gave me.
Enough sadness for now β even though I believe it is important to talk openly about these things. I am not ashamed of it. But this internet home for everyone is not going to be associated with depression only.ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
I also picked up a package today with things I ordered for my camera gear and for the Bulgaria trip β 38 days left! Woooh!
Camera lens covers, strings to attach them to the camera so I do not lose them, and two new bags. I am already using the blue one in the picture, and I also ordered a black sports bag that I will use as a cabin bag for the flight. Later, my son can use it for sleepovers. I will show that one later.
